Rehearsal Stage - Poems from Ostrobothnia

This Weekend - in Helsinki - at Esplanadparken - in a Container.

The Fine Arts eduction of Novia participates in The Pop-Up Österbotten event in Helsinki. This is done through cooperation with AiR-Jakobstad and current guest artists Susanne Schär & Peter Spillmann.

In fact, the whole concept was handed over to Susanne and Peter.

During the last months, they have worked with the container project and the result is now to be seen in Helsinki between Thursday 11.6 and Saturday 13.6.

A number of Fine Arts Students, as well as some teachers (see credits below), joined the project.

Se the container in Helsinki and see the film here (link).

"Sway- the scattered forest of ancient trees: About a year go I started on a new project about trees that have been around for several thousand years. I had come to a point in my work with environmental issues where I wanted to engage in something positive and less gloomy than reports on climate change and found that really old trees could provide an interesting starting point for a discussion on resilience, sustainability and environment. On Wednesday, I will show some of this work, the bulk of which still is in progress; and also talk a little about alternate models of financing an art project and the artist as a tourist."
