Performance piece by Nastja Säde Rönkkö, 2010
We realised the performance piece “Boys” by Nastja Rönkkö, for the Äkkigalleria 6 “I am hungry for art” exhibition. The artist provided a detailed list of the necessary props, specifics about the actors, and a score for the actual performance. The performance was photographed for the artist. Budget (100e) + space rental sponsored by TAIKE K-S. Film installation by Flo Kasearu, 2013 For the Musta Hevonen exhibition in Äänekoski, the artist sent us the film file via a wetransfer along with a list of requirements. One of the requests was for a room in complete darkness which we created following her written instructions. Images from the installation were taken for the artist. No budget production (personal reserves 100e). Group photography exhibition “Young Nepali Photographers”, 2013 for Äkkigalleria 21, with artists: Shikhar Bhattarai, Marina Menuka Lama, NayanTara Gurung Kakshapati, Prakash K.C., Kishor K Sharma, Nirman Shrestha, Prasiit Sthapit and the Nepal Picture Library. A visiting artist brought a USB port with him from Nepal, and all the photographs were printed according to each artist’s file specs. at the Luovake Centre for creative photography in Ratamo. Budget 600e; Space rental and printing funded by Luovake and TAIKE K-S. Outdoor banner, installation by Sandra Rechico, 2014 For the House Games exhibition the artist sent a file by wetransfer and we printed it on outdoor canvas as specified by the artist. The location for hanging the outdoor banner was pre decided based on our discussion via email. Budget 100e, printing budget financed by the City of Jyväskylä. Installation book/photography project by Gareth Phillips, 2021 Over the course of several months we communicated with the artist via email, text message and video calls. The artist wished to develop a project involving ice, melting and Finland. We discussed different possibilities and tested how to freeze the artist’s photographs, sharing videos and photographs of the results before finally freezing 24 images in ice blocks and installing them on a lake in March. The images were printed on acetate sheets and sent to us by post. Photographs were taken of the piece as instructed. Budget 0e (+artist’s own grant for testing materials at home). |
