WHAT I WISH I HAD LEARNED IN SCHOOL
a collaborative work by Maija Hirvanen, Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen at the Kerava Art Museum in the opening exhibition Palikkaoopperra, curated by Kristian Smeds.
Hirvanen, Kalleinen and Kochta-Kalleinen invited Finns to contribute 45 minute lessons each about – What I wish I had learned in school. Using print and electronic media, they sent out an invitation to participate. The invitation asked– is there some knowledge, skill or understanding about something in particular that would have helped you considerably in life, if you had learned it earlier? Of those who replied, 10 people will prepare a lesson about their subject matter at the new art museum of Kerava in the pedagogical room. The classes range from practical skills to very big personal revelations which brought on by difficult experiences. It remains to be seen how 45 minutes can be enough time for each of these participant to share their subject! The lessons have been prepared in a dialogue between the participants and the artist threesome. There is a 15 minute recess between lessons. Visitors are welcome to come to all of the lessons, or to just one of the lessons.
