The exhibition FUN consist of four related works in 4 different spaces.

The first one is a jumping system placed in the garden at the house in Selfoss. This system is installed in the grid for laundry that is in the garden. The jumping system enables a person to jump down to get the next cloth and jump up again to hang the cloth on the string. The artist will demonstrate how this works at the opening on the 5th of March and hang out the laundry with this method.

The second one is a swing in the middle of the kitchen in Bremen, Germany. The swing will be placed so that the people of the house can swing with the cutlery from the shelf to the table and back from the table to the sink. It will also serve for the refrigerator, to transport food between the refrigerator and the table. This will also be demonstrated at the opening.

The third work is a tricycle placed inside a yardhouse in Lejre in Denmark. While cycling around in the yardhouse, the person uses the movement in circles to paint the ceiling with a paintbrush up on an extension. The painting of the ceiling will also show the movement of the cycling in circles. This will also be in action at the opening.

These 3 installations will be open for the audience to try themselves.

The 4th work is a video that will be showed on a laptop, as well as on the homepage of GUK+. There the artist will use a trampoline to jump up and down in order to reach up and change a lightbulb in the ceiling. First she manages to screw the lightbulb out by jumping and than to screw a new one in and at the end turn the light on! The video is 3 minute long and looping. The music of the video is from the opening song of "The house on the prairie".
