picnic 01.

it is already two months that I have been working with Essi Vehkanen, Kristiina Visakorpi and Myriam Van Neste on an installation piece for Reclaimed Territories - an exhibition that will be held in Kumpula Botanic Garden starting from may. after weeks of brainstorming and proposals - we have started realizing our piece: PICNIC. I do not want to reveal too much about it yet - but I want to share some documentation of our process: today it was the first day of molding at the sculpture studio in TAIK.
from the 1st day of molding:

✻ experiment: molding an apple.
PICNIC will require some studio sessions and more to be ready - but it is going to be worth it. working with Essi, Myriam and Kristiina is both pleasant and interesting: the result will be great.
P.S. more posts about PICNIC to come in the next few weeks - stay tuned!

    It's always great to keep an eye on the processes instead of always focusing only on the results ;) you are a good documentator!

  2. I too really appreciate your explanation-documenting skills. I believe most of the time both artist and observer (art lover? spectator? viewer..? totally another topic..) tend to underestimate how important it is to show/explain : the first maybe wants to challenge the viewer or doesn't believe how curious the observer can be; the second one too many times doesn't ask himself what has been going on there before..or maybe I just have been thinking and talking about this too much lately :)
    still, as always here, nice & accurate words together with your pictures, brava!
