Press coverage

Jon Refsdal Moe, Kamp mellom kunst og punk (literally: Battle between art and punk), August 12-18 2005, Morgenbladet [Oslo]:
"Through not just bringing in the aesthetic and ethos of punk, but through bringing punk itself into the artistic space, PONI stages a risky meeting. [...] More than integrating art and punk, Project One takes place like a battle between the two. And PONI stands caught in the fire between an art landscape they don't want to belong to and punk continuously evading them."
