Avantgardevekkula

Avantgardevekkula is a particular concept exhibition that I have been curating and orchestrating. So far there’s been six shows in Helsinki and in Joutsa. The exhibition transcents playfully in between installations, kinetic sculptures, dreamy aural ambiences and live performances. The common feature of the artworks is handmade, hilarius grip on various subjects. Avantgardevekkula is promoting DIY-culture in its natural splendour. In this page you can find some exerpts from past exhibitions, please CLICK on PHOTOS to open galleries…
