SPEECH KARAOKE AT LAVAKLUBI, HELSINKI, 20 FEB, 2016

Feb 17 2016 Published by under Allgemein

The next edition of the Speechkaraoke Club evening will present speeches from Thailand. In a field trip to Bangkok, the rice fields of Surin and the Finnish Ex-pat community at Hua-Hin members of SKAG collected short speeches from people of all strands of live. Among the new speeches is a monologue by a former Thai-boxing World Champion and a speech by a monk from the controversial Wat Phra Dhammakaya Buddhist temple. Finnish citizens that immigrated to Hua Hin gave speeches about the sometimes comical side of Life in Thailand. The famous apology to Thai berry-pickers can be performed at the club as well.

Free entry! Welcome!

NO/GOOD PLACE: UTOPIAN ART FROM FINLAND IN ITHACA 23 MARCH – 22 APRIL 2016

Feb 08 2016 Published by under Allgemein

HANDWERKER GALLERY, ITHACA

“While utopian or dystopian stories or images typically imagine societies separated from us in space (the island or enclave) or time (the future), these fictions invite us to make comparisons to our own world.  The flaws and nascent possibilities that we are blind to in our own time and place become visible when projected onto another one.  Similarly, the utopian gestures or critiques found in these artworks from Finland offer us opportunities to reflect on our own utopian aspirations.  The photographs, films, performances, and installations in the exhibition explore the porous boundaries between utopia and dystopia.”

Curator: Paul Wilson

Participating artists: IC-98, Otto Karvonen, Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, Nina Katchadourian, Pilvi Takala, and Tärähtäneet ämmät/Nutty Tarts.
