Group exhibition summer 2012. The exhibition did not take place within the safe concrete walls of the Arts Centre, but in the wild and overgrown wooded area in front of the Art Centre’s entrance and on the steps down to the waterfront. These outdoor areas were transformed into an organic and process oriented exhibition space at the mercy of the climate and seasonal whims.

During the summer of 2012, a total of 15 works created by 22 artists were […]

Just as the sound is rising from the ground, so does the tree – both of them providing their individual signs of a living Earth. In this site specific piece, sound is streaming from the ground, from a hidden speaker. The piece communicates with the auditory sense of the attentive visitor. No visual sign is given to attract the attention. Still, the carefully selected placement under the […]
