Stockholm County Council invites professional artists to apply for three different parallel sketch assignments for an artistic design for the entrance hall and dental care unit at the Eastman Institute.
Description of the artistic commission
The Entrance Hall, assignment 1
The entrance hall has a marble floor, existing wooden fittings and a staircase/elevator shaft in glass, marble and steel. The fact that the ceiling is high, approximately 4 metres, means that sound echoes and leads to a difficult acoustic environment for people working in the new open reception area. For that reason, there are plans to place acoustic panels on the walls and hang them from the ceiling, approximately 2.5 metres from the floor. The assignment includes wall space in the reception area and the opportunity to influence the design of the hanging sound-absorbing panels. They could also form part of the design, along with two wall surfaces at an angle beside the seating area on the right-hand side.
The Entrance Hall, assignment 2
There is a free-standing fully glazed children's reception desk – a "booth" – preserved in the entrance area. An artistic design commission could provide the small reception area with completely new content. It could be used for a sculpture consisting of light, sound and movement that is specifically aimed at the large patient group consisting of children. A number of fittings and items of equipment have been saved from the dental activities and these can be used.
Periodontics
Partition screens for dental treatment areas are being installed in the old tooth-filling room. The screens do not go all the way up to the ceiling and patients can see the centre of the ceiling from the treatment chairs. There is a raised, lit surface between four steel-clad pillars that will be accentuated with an artistic design. The art can be both two- and three-dimensional. The entire ceiling area in question measures approximately 7 x 3 metres.
Specification of requirements
The artistic design must be characterised by strong artistic values and should be permanent, with complex content, and should contribute to a visually attractive environment that lends itself to thought and gives the space character. The artistic design forms part of an architectural whole, which involves cooperation with project managers from Stockholm County Council, art consultants and architects for the buildings, lighting and interior decoration.
