The Residency is currently on hold

The residency got closed down during the pandemic and is, due to several reasons, still on hold. There are indeed plans on getting it up and running but how, in what form and when remains currently unclear.

Katharina Kraus - Energiverket 25.7

Our residence Artist of the summer - Katharina Kraus - shows her work at Energiverket (Kanalesplanaden 9, Jakobstad) 25.7. 14:00 - 20:00.

I'm a painter, but also a collector - taking found objects like postcards, everyday things and photos and giving them my own "handwriting" is essential for my work. 

My "room paintings" invent or reinvent rooms; my goal is to construct rooms that look familiar but also strange. I use distorted perspectives and flat-looking surfaces to construct the illusion of space and deny it at the same time. 

For my objects, I take the same painted canvas, cut it, sew it together and fill it to make it three-dimensional. 

My work starts in painting, but reaches out to sculpture and installation. Painting becomes object and object becomes painting.

Resurrection of the blog

This blog has been criminally inactive for a criminally long period. But luckily it's not the blog that runs the residency. In other words - we haven't been as inactive as it may seem.

During the upcoming days and weeks we'll post a little bit of information about what we've been up to during the silence of the blog. We will of course also stay tuned to ongoing and upcoming projects of this residency. 

Thorn live 29.4. 11 AM

Our current Guest Artist rock project Thorn will do a live show at the Schauman Hall in Campus Allegro, Jakobstad.

The first Jakobstad Residency...

We're happy to announce that the residency in Jakobstad and Campus Allegro now is in function - not only theoretically. 

Our first guest artist Csaba Árpád Horváth (Budapest, Hungary) has arrived and is currently installing himself.

His residency is a part of our collaboration with Studio of Young Artists Association in Budapest.

Csaba's main field of work goes towards sculptural medias often with the public space as context resulting in interactivity and sometimes performance related outcome.

He will also have a presentation of of his work here at Campus Allegro and we'll announce time and place as soon as those details ar decided - so more about his work by then.

Csaba will be working here until beginning of November. 

Soon up and running again

Our residency and connected projects have had a break during the summer. 
During the last weeks we've been installing ourselves at the new Campus Allegro in Jakobstad and it'll be interesting to see the outcome of all the various educations and cultural venues under the same roof.
More later...

Preparing for the Post-Apocalyptic Times

Former Novia Fine Arts students Tuuli Toivola, Ninni Wager and Kika Wikman prepares for post-apocalyptic times at the Stúdió Galéria in Budapest.

Together they form the Artists Group Airbakers (more info below).

The Stúdió Galéria is the gallery space run by Studio of Young Artists Association in Budapest - which is also one of our partner organisations for artist exchanges.

From their - Airbakers' - Facebook page:


Airbakers is an artist group founded in 2010 and is based in Helsinki, Finland.

The exhibition “Preparing for the Post-apocalyptic times” consists of videoworks,
sculptor and zine installed together as an abstract narrative.
The works are looking behind the surfaces of friendship and the essence of collaboration.

The first realized experiment was the conclusion of our conversations. That installation was coming from the idea of privatization, to take a tiny piece of land and changing it - by literally turning it upside down. The root layer of this object became the base of a float, with the crown of the trees transformed partly to roots, and at the same time: an underwater forest. This dream-like dadaist transport device was the starting point of the following collaborative drawing series, video works, and more ideas connected to it.
The exhibition is a result of a more than one year deconstruction of patterns and finding out possibilities outside of the given.

Girilal Baars - Artist Talk.

Artist Talk by Girilal Baars 

at Novia (Jakobstadsvägen 24, Nykarleby) Wednesday 22.2. 15:30

Photo by Jeanette Hägglund

Girilal Baars is a musician, singer and composer. He works mainly with contemporary experimetal music/composition/"sound-making" but also with traditional folk music from various cultures.

Equipment-wise he works with an array of instruments from traditional ones via objects to electronical alternatives.

An important ingredient in his work is also language and how different languages relate to each other.

Girilal is at the moment (January - February 2012) Guest Artist at the Platform residency in Vasa and we're very glad that we have the opportunity to have him in Nykarleby for this Artist Talk.
