Hirvitalo - Center of Contemporary Art Pispala, Tampere, Finland 2009
A site-specific 4 rooms wide installation that was based visually on the writings created with black spray paint and magic markers reflecting on the role of the space in question that was balancing between being a venue for art and/or radical activism; is the somewhat peaceful coexistence of those two worlds possible or even nessessary? Some of the texts were autobiographical anecdotes of some clashes between anarchist and autonomist activist and the established art world, some quoting both slogans from the European radical leftist movement and a Finnish state run art institution Kiasma appropriating radical leftist discourse as part of its advertising.
