Reportage år 2000 av Ingemar Lönnbom. Information om gruppen: Peepholes is a group of 10 artists from 7 different European countries. The Group was founded when 6 of us attended the Lapplands Art's Colony in Arvidsjaur in Sweden in 1998. This meeting inspired us to keep in touch and continue our artistic co-operation. The last day some of us passed an old hose with one round small window - a peephole. This came to be the opening of the project.

Gisela Alt - Germany Susanne Demåne - Sweden Irina Novokrescionova - Litauen Birgitta Nyström - Sweden Carola Boman - Sweden Marie Bondeson - Sweden Hanne Houlberg - Denmark Hilda Kozari - Finland Ingela Birkeland- Norway Juliana Capes - Scotland

Our first mutual project was an exhibition in Karlskrona, Sweden, at the Sea Fortress Godnatt, in the sea just outside the town - Peepholes on Godnatt - in july 2000.
