Nicoline van Harskamp was the first artist within Nikolaj's new exhibition project The Tower Space, which focusses primarily on solo exhibtions of upcoming artists.
The exhibition presented three new video works on government, law enforcement and civil liberties, based on conversations with inhabitants of the Danish free town Christiania and with libertarians and anarchists from London.
Starting point for the project is the artist's stay within the Christiania Researcher in Residence Programme.
