Collaborative process

June 04, 2013 klo 12:00 – 17:00

Free entry! @ Lasipalatsin aukio

Mannerheimintie 22-24 / Helsinki

For ‘Kontaining13: Traces’ artists Hannah Harkes and Sari T.M. Kivinen will collaboratively develop a collective narrative in visual and textual forms. Through observation and interaction with each other and with the site (in and around the art container) interpretations will cause images and words to appear. The process will be responsive and will be allowed to develop without preconceived notions of the final outcome.

Kontaining13: Traces

Kontaining13: Traces takes place in a shipping container in Lasipalatsinaukio, Helsinki, from the 3rd-9th of June 2013. Kontaining is produced by Ptarmigan ry in association with The Arts Promotion Centre Finland.

This year each of the four Ptarmigan directors will be curating a section of the program according to their own artistic practice. Each artist comes from a different discipline and will produce their own artistic work and/or invite other artists from a variety of genres and backgrounds into the space. One day in the programme will be dedicated to a collaboration between the group in the space.

Kontaining is process-oriented, supports experimentation and encourages interactive and site-specific artwork and cross-media exchange. Each day there will be traces left for the next day’s activities taking into consideration the specific site of the container in Kamppi. The programme will include cross-pollination between diverse categories such as installation, performance, sound, music, screenings and participatory activities.
