Text on windows – yellow decal
Multipöly Room and PUBLICS, Helsinki
Small yellow phrases along the edges of the windows tell stories about the windows' past, thus reflecting the history of the two art spaces. The phrases, in both English and the local Finnish language, are displayed on the six windows of PUBLICS and the Multipöly Room, located near each other in the Vallila district. The transparent windows create a tension between the phrase and the current view of the space.
The sentences are based on the memories of the people who live in the buildings and on public and private archives.
The work was the 11th text of Ikkunajulkaisu Eurantiellä (Eurantie Window Publication) and part of the exhibition COUPLING with Vlatka Horvat at PUBLICS in June 2023.
