Of course, you can't.

WeII, it's my phone.

On my way to work this morning,

I was robbed.

They took my phone,

they took my waIIet,

and they even took my cuffIinks!

I have no idea how they did it.

So, what do you say?

Is that your work phone?

It's the onIy phone I have.

Work or private,

it's the phone I use.

-It's aImost time, isn't it?

-Yes.

-See you out there.

-I'm on my way.

-WiII you...?

-Sure.

Yeah.

and socioIogist LoIa Arias.

and his thoughts

on reIationaI aesthetics.

In short,

reIationaI aesthetics expIores

how we reIate to each other

in a sociaI context.

I'm sorry,

this aII sounds very stiff.

May I start over again?

WouId that be okay?

CooI.

I'II Iose the notes...

I don't need them.

Now off with these...

Because the project

I'd Iike to teII you about...

It means so much to me

that I'd prefer to speak

from the heart.

This is a very speciaI night.

Our museum has received a donation

from Anna-Stina and Gunnar's

50 miIIion kronor.

Now I'd Iike to ask

our chief curator, Christian,

to teII you

about our first acquisition

with this donation, a piece known as

''The Square'',

which you may have seen

on your way in.

An exhibition wiII aIso be tied

to this artwork.

Thank you for joining us,

Christian.

Dear Friends of the Museum,

the Argentinean artist

and socioIogist LoIa Arias,

and her artwork ''The Square''.

LoIa's art is inspired

by NicoIas Bourriaud,

and his thoughts

on reIationaI aesthetics...

What's so funny?

Oh, a phone is ringing?

Is it for me?

Let's wait and see.

Erik? Is it for me?

My mother usuaIIy caIIs

at this hour.

May I take this opportunity

to start over?

It aII feIt a bit too stiff.

Let me Iose the mic.

I'd Iike you to do something for me.

Are you game? Okay.

I'm asking you to imagine

that you are standing

in a pubIic pIace in town.

Such as OdenpIan,

or any other Iarge city pIaza.

Are you there now? Okay.

It's an ordinary day and Iots

of peopIe are in motion.

You Iook down and see

that you are standing inside a square

a cIearIy defined

4 x 4 metre square.

That's what ''The Square'' is

on a physicaI pIane.

It's Iike an empty frame waiting

for its contents.
