Wiebke Grösch / Frank Metzger (DE): Good News

Ordene “good news” (gode nyheder) er installeret på taget af butikkerne langs Ruten.  Med værket Good News peger Wiebke Grösch og Frank Metzger på forskellen mellem den personlige og den medieskabte opfattelse af Tingbjerg:

Det negative og ensidige billede af Tingbjerg, der spredes via medierne, står i kontrast til den stort set positive opfattelse blandt beboerne i nabolaget.

Good News er en påmindelse om de oversete øjeblikke af lykke og samtidig et spørgsmål om, hvad gode nyheder er og for hvem?

The words “Good News” are installed on the roof of the shops along Ruten. With their work “Good News” Wiebke Grösch / Frank Metzger are questioning the relationship between personal and media perception. The negative image of Tingbjerg, which is spread by the media, is based on a one-sided view, that only picks out certain extreme examples. But it stands in contrast to the largely positive perception of the residents of the neighbourhood. “Good News” is reminiscent of the overlooked moments of happiness, of wishes that (unexpectedly) come true, of plans that succeed.
