As a continuation of the project Boulevard of Broken Dreams I founded the BBD-grant - a scholarship for up and coming painters at Malmö Art Academy. The BBD-grant is provided by the interest earned from the sale of painting materials in the installation Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Boulevard of Broken Dreams took place during the Year Exhibition at the Malmö Art Academy 2005. Both the sale of materials and the resulting endowed income for the BBD-grant provide two different platforms for a discussion about the concept of art – one casually on the street, the other formally in a merit-based grant. Each year a student from the Malmö Art Academy, devoted to painting, is selected by the faculty to receive the BBD-grant. By supporting painting as an artistic expression the grant re-actualizes my sold materials original purpose. In 2008 the BBD-grant was handed out for the third time. This year Elin Behrens received 1000 sek with the motivation: "A talented painter is being welcomed back!" In 2007 the BBD-grant went to Ella Tillema "for her fresh and powerful paintings, and her way to make her experiences from various creative fields interact." In 2006 the faculty chose Fredrik Norén to receive the BBD-grant stating “in the spirit of the founder, he spins and reuses the material as well as the ideas of painting”.
