Performances of the exhibition will be presented on Saturday 24 May around the Academy of Fine Arts.
Lola Barraud: Guided Experience: Entering the Heart
11.00 and 14.00
Venue: White studio. Duration: 45 min. Language: English.
Please book a slot by email as the workshops are limited to 8 people per session: lola.barraud@outlook.com. The workshops are free of charge.
Lola Barraud is offering a workshop in which the artist will guide a group through an experience of her soft installation: Back and Forth in Liquid Synchrony. The workshop will begin with a focus on each individual’s inner body rhythms. Participants will then take part in a heart synchronization exercise, in which they listen to another person’s heartbeat. The session will end with a group discussion of the experience.
Ellenor Rose Nish: Olen pilvi (I am a cloud)
14.40–15.00, Kuva/Tila
I am a Cloud is a dance performance that uses the imagination to become a cloud. What would it feel like to be a cloud? What does it mean to go slowly?
Ilia Ollikainen: Lecture Performance: Why medieval/fantasy?
17.00
Place: Mylly, K-317. Duration: 50 minutes. Language: English. The performance is free. Sign-up is required due to limited capacity. Read more details and instructions on how sign up for the event.
Why Medieval/Fantasy? is a lecture performance that narrates through the complicated process of trying to understand modern medieval desires, queer medieval history and the process of historical obfuscation that has led to the current rise of neo-medieval rhetoric and aesthetics. It’s about grappling to secure oneself a place in the past, about holding together an empty suit of armor. About pure mettle.
