Kurkunleikkaajien antigravitaatiokenttä / Cutthroat Field of Antigravity 2019, mixed waste technique. I have been experimenting a lot with belts and bands and tried plentitude of methods, and in the end – well – the best performance is the (snare roll) the special bands for industrial machines. Happy to experiment though! Here’s a small video from the case….

The third exhibition of it’s kind was held on 28th of August – 8th of September. The show was held in association of the Finnish Comic Festival in the area. You can see some fotos HERE.

Two of performative sculptures have been this summer in Stockfors Art Fair at Pyhtää, Finland. Huge thanks go to the curators Aarno Rankka and Jyrki Riekki!

Avantgarde Vekkula took place from  8th of May until 7th of June in Kanneltalo, Helsinki.

The event was fun and many people saw it. As Kannelmäki might be seen as a common suburb, maybe it’s beginning to be the hot knot of fun art, who knows?! Anyways here is some collection of images throughout the exhibition. Here for some past A. Vekkulas

Nice surprise! Someone dropped cool tag in gallery which is almost empty for  winter time. Btw here is a small gallery of last seasons pieces. Eager to see what happens next summer!

Some of the Purgatori -sceneries have been on trip this summer in Tallinn, Estonia. Not sure, but I’ve heard they’ve seenat least in Polymer, Sveta bar, Abandoned house gallery and  Kõva Karneval.  This seems a bit like that garden gnome sketch, doesn’t it?

Anyways heres one proof of a matter from Polymer, a photo by Panu Ollikainen. More Purgatori here.

Some steps in the realm of Avantgarde Vekkula… welcome!
