Project title
Dubbelsidigt
Description of initiative
Dubbelsidigt was a pilot project on the ways in which aesthetics, art and art-related conversations affect human physical and mental health, with external handling of Professor Britt-Maj Wikström from Akershus University College. Wikström has conducted research in the subject since the 1980s. The pilot project and the teaching was about how the spatial environment people are living in affects our health. The work was carried out in connection with the renovation of the Jakobstad's social and health care work department, where art and design have a central role. The result was an aesthetically pleasing care environment there double-sided photographic art and interior design plays a central role.
