Marjetica Potrc:'Caracas: Dry Toilet', Nordenhake Gallery, Stockholm, 2004. Case study and reconstruction of project in Caracas. Swedish artist Dorinel Marc has chosen Potrc's work as the subject of discussion during his part of The Work in Focus.

The Work in Focus consists of a series of conversations on artists’ activities in which the discussion is activated by work contributed by individual artists or groups of artists. The aim of The Work in Focus is to augment the internationalisation of art in Sweden by creating possibilities for artists based here to deepen discussion around a specific work of art together with actors from abroad as well as from Sweden. The Work in Focus may be seen as an extended studio conversation, where an artist’s own practice becomes the subject of a constructive discussion between the artist and representatives from Iaspis and Index. For Iaspis it is important to expand collaboration with local institutions and actors, and since Index commands extensive competence as regards the practice of art, the development of projects, organisation of exhibitions and the production of films and texts - all of these with international involvement – the two institutions may form an interesting entity, serving as a discussion partner for an artist, or an artist group. In addition to staff from Iaspis and Index, artists holding Iaspis stipends – especially international – and Index’s international guests will also participate in The Work in Focus.

The Index exhibition programme is curated Markus Degerman, Andreas Gedin, Helena Holmberg, Mats Stjernstedt and Niklas Östholm.
