This project was first shown at the exhibition "INTERPOL"
at Färgfabriken in Stockholm in 1996.
During the exhibition, a taxi service was installed between the museum and
the city. Visitors and ordinary citizens where able to take the Therapy
Taxi and go wherever they wanted. Lying on a divan inside the large taxi,
they could voice their personal thoughts and problems and receive guidance
and help from the driver who also acted as a psychoanalyst.
The visitor would pay for the ride according to a normal taximeter and could
also listen to "Therapy Trax", specially composed music by Johan
Vävare & Christer Linder.
Receipts, signs, and posters where all designed by Björn Kusoffsky.
Taxi costumes where designed by Sparring.
The project was later shown at the Rauma Biennial in 1996, in Berlin during
Performa 97, and in collaboration with Galerie Ursula Walbrol in Düsseldorf
in 1997.
