Shai Dahan returns with an exhibition in Gothernburg, Sweden. Entitled “Broken Window”, the show is inspired by the broken windows theory - a criminological theory stating that maintaining and monitoring urban environments in a well-ordered condition may stop further vandalism and escalation into more serious crime. Rudy Giuliani, the ex-mayor of New York was a famous case study for this theory with his graffiti sweeping campaign on the New York subway system (read Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point to learn more about this).

“Broken Window” is at the a gallery from 22nd September until 13th October.
