N55, an artist collective based in Copenhagen, Denmark aims to "create situations with a concrete and fundamental significance to daily life, which at the same time have aesthetic and ethical consequences." One consistent approach is the creation of prototypes for functional products and objects such as furniture or entire living units. For Inset, N55 initiate new versions of two ongoing projects: LAND, a project which challenges the notion of "private land" through the renegotiation of access rights to sites around the world; and SHOP, a currency-free place of exchange where museum visitors will have the opportunity to contribute items for other persons to use, borrow, or swap.
