Catalogue published in conjunction with 'SUPER STRUCTURES', a series of collaborative projects that took place in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with artists and designers from Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Presented by local artists' initiative a little blah blah, the projects took place in two phases in August/September and October 2008. The artists had two weeks in which to conceptualize and realize their projects in response to the local conditions.

'SUPER STRUCTURES took the physical grid, the social and economic systems of the city as the starting point. Art was live and responsive, even spontaneous, as localities are scouted, surveyed, negotiated. What were the potentialities of this site & system? What could be infiltrated, grafted or discreetly super-imposed? Would art function as an alien body, an imposition, an irrelevance or a contribution?' - excerpt from introduction

Participating artists include Peter Johansson & Barbro Westling, Sten Are Sandbeck, OLO, Minna Heikinaho, COMPANY, Bank & Rau, AVPD.

The book includes a listing of exhibition spaces and galleries in the Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Hue) and Cambodia (Phnom Penh).
