Group exhibition with Derek Baron, Jessie Bullivant, Lina Viste Grønli, Astri Laitinen, Mark Leckey, Scott Rogers, Niina Tervo.
2023
During the summer, Astri was planting and sowing in our yard, tuned the soil, met with worms and snails. The yard is now wearing its autumn coat and mice dig holes while seeking warmth. Jessie will make a colour field for deer and a reprint of an out-of-print book. Lina presents a wall clock with Camembert cheese on top of it. Scott made a bird feeder out of two old tax receipt trays. Mark’s video from 2022 will be shown. Niina will do what Niina will do.
