In the spring of 2021, Simon Gran Danielsson worked as a tram driver in Gothenburg. A professional role where he moves daily through the city, back and forth at all hours of the day, in several of the city's public, and less public spaces.

In the intervals of the work that arises and on the way back and forth, he documents his time. A documentation of the everyday life, visible but at the same time invisible in the everyday lives of others, between the depot on Ringön and the end stops in Gothenburg's peripheral tram network. When he finishes his service, follow the instructions, 'Cut your uniform into pieces and throw it  away'.

Simon is interested in alienation, the public space and how we use it. His work often results in sculptural objects and installations stemming from this research. Alienation, the promotion of what we produce, as an idea to take with us into the attempts to find an everyday poetry in our working life. What new readings and artistic potential can be extracted from working documents and instructions from the working day.

The exhibition 'Cut your uniform and throw it away' will be shown at the Kiosk in October 2021, as part of the Kiosk's participation in the Gothenburg International Art Biennale's peripheral network 'Extended'.

"In the Western hemisphere and in English-speaking countries, a kiosk is also a booth with an open window on one side. Some vendors operate from kiosks, selling small, inexpensive consumables such as newspapers, magazines, lighters, street maps, cigarettes, and confections.

An information kiosk (or information booth) dispenses free information in the form of maps, pamphlets, and other literature, and/or advice offered by an attendant.”
