Vrouw Maria / Kontaining / Ptarmigan Helsinki / Lasipalatsin Aukio
24 hour art and coffee







The Vrouw Maria was a merchant ship which sank 241 years ago in the outer archipelago of the municipality of Nagu, Finland. Amongst the ship's cargo - which also included coffee beans, sugar, fabric and dyes - were an estimated twenty one artworks, belonging to Catherine the Great. 


To commemorate the 241st anniversary of the sinking of the Vrouw Maria, Hannah Harkes will recreate these twenty one artworks during her 24 hour takeover of the KONTAINING shipping container, using only the titles of the works as starting points. 


The space will function as an open studio and gallery from 9am to 9am, inviting the public to influence the content of the recreated works and to view their progression. Willing passersby may also play the muse, and model for studies of the various characters and scenes present in the works. Costume and props will be provided.

THE VROUW MARIA ANNIVERSARY TAKEAWAY
The Vrouw Maria Anniversary Takeaway honours the omnipotent coffee bean, an almighty power capable of raising heart rate and of sinking ships. The founders of The Vrouw Maria Anniversary Takeaway kindly ask their customers to commit a propitiatory act in the drinking of their coffee by immersing themselves in the splendour of the supreme stimulatory power or else to cower forebodingly beneath the shadow of its formidable wrath.
