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.
We are all women and the group members are:
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
