ON VOLATILITY

Wednesday 3rd of October at 18:00

Curator: Oana Tanase
Artists: PILVI TAKALA & ELMAS DENIZ

Employing distinct methodologies, the works made by the two artists are documenting through performance either filmad with a hidden camera or captured in drawing the hazardous dynamics of memory and the volatile comfort of daily life. Complicity becomes an effective weapon through which the critical space made up of displaced meanings is at the same time confronted and distilled with humor.

PILVI TAKALA

1981 Helsinki. Lives in Helsinki and Amsterdam

The Announcer. Video, 6 min, 2007

Pilvi Takala is mostly working with site-specific issues. She designs a situation and then awaits what happens. Usually presented as video or slide installation, her work modestly tests the invisible boundaries in specific communities and environments.
For Consequences and Proposals, Pilvi has produced a new work, which takes place in Stockmann, a department store in Helsinki. We see an elderly lady pushing the limits of excellent customer service by repeatedly asking to announce messages for men she has seen around the store and would like to meet. She is putting herself in a position that is clearly pathetic and embarrassing, but at the same time powerful.

We like it a lot takes its title from a video by the Polish collective Azorro, in which the artists visit and comment on exhibitions in Warsaw. In each instance their experience of the art on show is indiscriminately summed up with this one inadequate but emphatic phrase. Under the banner of Azorro’s subversive slogan, the curators have selected works they like a lot by London-based and international artists, and brought them together for a weeklong exhibition with daily performances and screenings.

Friday 17 August, 6 - 9 pm: Preview with performance by Charlie Tweed
Saturday 18 August, 7 - 9 pm: Live music by Johnny Parry (Johnny Parry Trio), screenings by Azorro and Richard DeDomenici
