Here is couple more of my works from last weeks intense Intervention Art course. We had usually about 3 hours to design and carry out our works.
On Monday
The task in this one was to create some kind of gesture to the space Värjäämö where we held the course. I saw the pipelines and felt like the empty connections of pipes look like megaphones. So what would the walls and pipes whisper to us if they would have eyes and mouths. My gesture was Listening. And so as a group we listened for the silent humming of the Värjäämö studio while looking at the eyes in the pipelines.
If I would create this piece again, instead of the drawings I'd like to use little monitors and stereos to actually show and tell us what have they seen in this place before.
On Wednesday
We were sent to ponder what is a political work of art? After some conversations with my classmates we came to conclusion that everything is politic regardless if you want it or not.
For me the first visual images that came to mind is the very graphical posters. I also wanted to think about an issue that is meaningful to me and of which I wanted to do an art piece about. That issue became the social exclusion.
Still the sorrow can be collective even if you feel like standing alone among the others.

hienoja ajatuksia! Olen vähän kade tästä(kin) kurssistanne :)
Ihanan oloinen kurssi teillä! Kuuntelu-katselu-idea on hurmaava. <3
Anna ja Linnea, kiitos kommenteista! Kurssi oli kyllä tosiaan aivan mainio :) Silkkaa tekemisen iloa ja ajatuksien vaihtoa. Haluaisin näyttää myös luokkatoverieni upeita teoksia, mutta niistä minulla ei ole dokumentointia.
Anna, sun pitää hankita Pori maisterointia? :)
