In developing and realising my artworks, I always work together with many people. A key protagonist in the studio team during the time period represented by Model room was the late Einar Thorsteinn, a visionary Icelandic architect and mathematician, whose interest in non-Euclidean geometry and fivefold symmetry became central to my work. Model room testifies to my long-standing collaboration and friendship with Einar.

For some years now, I have been looking for a permanent home for Model room, a museum with a strong commitment to spatial and conceptual issues, public discourse, and a precise conservation policy. I couldn’t imagine a better home for Model room than Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
