Lintupäiväkirja
(2024)
Heini Nieminen
Lintuihin liittyvän taiteellisen tutkimukseni kohdalla pohdin ensin lintukatoa ja voisinko taiteen avulla tukea lintuja pesinnän onnistumisessa. Jossain matkan varrella huomasin, etten tiennyt keitä nämä linnut ovat, joiden kanssa pyrin toimimaan. Halusin ystävystyä pihani lintujen kanssa, oppia tuntemaan niitä. Rakensin "lintukopin", jossa vietin aina puoli tuntia kerrallaan. Olen kuvannut nämä puolituntiset ja kirjannut kokemuksista oleellisimmat seikat ylös.
Aftermath (E for Installation)
(2024)
Zoe Panagiota (aka Betty) Nigianni
Design for interactive art installation with urban regeneration proposal, as well as video about environmentalism and our technologically mediated private and public lives; installation catalogue design with photography and textual collage, 2021-2023.
"There is a massive abundance of goods that end up in landfills. With such abundance of goods, no one should be deprived."
Visitors will have to leave an unwanted item of theirs and take another to collect the installation catalogue. The installation will be monitored for this purpose. Designed with Wi-Fi light technology for agility training, the interactive floor in the entrance will be controlled by the visitors through a tablet computer that will allow them to select the difficulty level.
The exposition offers a critical viewpoint to the contemporary gallery-mediated commercial environment by making reference to the non-monetary economies of artistic and cultural production.
Art "is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy". The enemy is whoever exploits their fellows out of egoism or personal interest (Pablo Picasso).
With summary and questions about David Murakami Wood's article "The Global Turn to Authoritarianism", 'Surveillance and Society', (15), 3/4, 2017: 357-370.

At Cross Purposes, reflections on constellations
(2024)
Janne Schipper
When gazing at the night sky together with someone, it can be challenging to guide the other person’s attention to a specific star or cluster. To completely follow the alignment of the eyes and the tip of the index finger to the object in mind would require us to climb into the other, to see the world through their eyes. How do we know if we have the same star in mind as the person next to us? Are we talking at cross-purposes?
At Cross Purposes, reflections on constellations, comprises three texts by different authors on language, narrative, sign and signification, as well as poetry and anxiety in art.
PLAN TO UNPLAN
(2024)
Lisa Streich, Ellen Kristine Ugelvik
PLAN TO UNPLAN is the work around the book BOOK OF CHORDS that serves as both artistic result and reflective component on several pieces I wrote between 2019 and 2024. The work touches thoughts about precariousness in music making and musical writing and the differences in chamber musical writing and orchestral writing. In the realms of these pillars there is a strong focus on expressions found in chords. Chords, sung mostly by amateur choirs and found on the internet.
