Are there 'democratic pictures'? This question has been discussed by art researchers. The meaning of pictures depends on the context in which they were created as well as the context where they are interpreted. One spatial area for political art during the growth of the democratic society is the People's House and the People's Park. To understand the cooperation between art and context, art must first be invented and registered. The aim of this project is to make an inventory and to register the art found in Swedish People's Houses and People's Parks and to thereby secure and make it accessible for an analysis of the relation between ideological art and specific spatial environments in the development of society. When these houses and parks were constructed by the labour movement in Sweden during the 1890ies the walls were decorated with pictures. In 1940, the central movement of the People's Houses initiated an art fund. Art was distributed from the central organisation and deposed in local houses. During the 1950ies they got official allowances and during the 1970ies the subsidies from the state increased. The meeting halls became areas of official art. Many houses and parks have disappeared, been sold out or are today threatened by other factors. Therefore it is important to give evidence of existing art and to make it available through registers.
