Grey Cube Gallery documentations are completed! Fixed the Italian-to-Finnish translations with Viivi yesterday and send my final invoice to the Union for Rural Culture and Education.\u00a0My favorite artist presentations was\u00a0by P\u00e4ivi Allonen\u00a0and I also enjoyed taking with the Helsinki Zoo staff. During the summer Honkasalo-Niemi-Virtanen collectives residency documentations were cancelled but I’m overall satisfied with the project.<\/p>\n
A lot of interesting ideas concerning the relations of animals and public institutions came up during the Zoo staff interviews but these complex talks didn’t make the final cut.\u00a0I’ve written some down\u00a0under the tag “Animals in the City<\/a>“. The idea that the sites\u00a0primarily goal is to build awareness of animals as individuals<\/a>\u00a0was build up through director Sanna Hellstr\u00f6m interview. The Bear Castles that hosted the art exhibitions and events are now left unused and if someone is interested in presenting stuff there\u00a0they should contact\u00a0Katri Houtbeckers from the Zoo.<\/p>\n Artist presentations:<\/p>\n Helsinki Zoo staff and festival documentations:<\/p>\n I’ll meet up with the Union for Rural Culture and Education\u00a0on the 26th for the “Paikan tuntu” book launch at the movie theater Orion. I was interviewed for the book by\u00a0Antti M\u00f6ller.<\/p>\n Visited “Suburbia \u2013 L\u00e4hi\u00f6performansseja<\/a>” exhibition by Antti Ahonen and\u00a0Katri Kainulainen over the weekend. Came too late for\u00a0Siiri Nevalaises after party piece but got to hear\u00a0KOELSE<\/a> drone noises.\u00a0Many of the exhibition pieces\u00a0were faux performance documentations\u00a0and there was a tad too much repetition (Some photos from the exhibition available online<\/a>). The photos mimicked\u00a0street fashion looks and presented a hardcore-nostalgic view\u00a0to the\u00a0suburbs. Katri and her friend posed semi-nude in\u00a0rough concrete surroundings. Unfortunately the contemporary fashion industry produces heaps of\u00a0similar (and even more disturbing) imagery and styles present in the exhibition came off as rip-off’s of Vice magazine covers.<\/p>\n The fashion industry has appropriated the visual cues of performance art!\u00a0The disturbing documentations such as\u00a0Carolee Schneemann’s “Interior Scroll<\/a>” (1975) has been normalized trough\u00a0Vice magazines<\/a> commercial interests in the niche and the perv’s. The best way to rebel against\u00a0these processes is to produce documentations which look boring!<\/p>\n\n

The best way to rebel against\u00a0these processes is to produce documentations which look boring!<\/p>\nHad an interesting chat concerning photography workflow with\u00a0Antti. His archive on flickr<\/a> is packed with performance art, street art etc. event documentations and artworks. The huge cultural heritage collection he has build has been made intuitively. He does not\u00a0“waste time” with color correction (he’s\u00a0colorblind) and he trusts the camera’s\/computers automatic sensory. This approach\u00a0alleviates stress and enables him to take on performance documentation gigs rapidly.<\/p>\nSometimes the winning move is to renouce the fight. #\u0950<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grey Cube Gallery documentations are completed!
