SIMKA is the project name for the visual artists Simon H\u00e4ggblom\u2019s and Karin Lind\u2019s shared artistic activities. Through SIMKA they combine their knowledge and skills from visual art, set design and landscape architecture. The core of their work is the investigation and formation of different spaces and sites for human interaction. Informed by the tensions between urbanity and nature, as well as the fictional and the habitual world. The pieces are more or less permanent, located in the gaps, the solitary or disintegrated spaces of the public or private sphere.<\/p>\n
