\u201dThe Swedish coup d\u2019\u00e9tat\u201d is a 90-minute-long on-stage documentary, about New Public Management and policies of deregulation in Sweden today \u2013 e.g. Swedish Rail, the pension and school systems, and the procuring of public art \u2013 based on a logic using key numbers, instead of any artistic understanding.<\/p>\n
Two examples: Swedish Rail \u2013 SJ: Everything worked well until deregulation and privatization set in. Now, different companies run the trains, service the tracks, and control the traffic \u2013 chaos! But it is all deregulated to give citizens a greater freedom of choice.<\/p>\n
The Swedish school system is generally good, but the logic of New Public Management effectively hides its failures: Teachers and headmasters that
\nlook away from troublesome kids that have lost all trust in school and are seen as failures \u2013 these teachers and headmasters still fill out all the
\nstatistics and formally do everything their job demands, according to the logic of New Public Management. A statistic success hides a disaster for
\nthose kids: no one cares.<\/p>\n
Opens on the 1 st of October, in The Pink House, at The Epidemic of Art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
