Parts (for Muuri) was conceived by artists James Prevett and Maarit Mustonen for the Muuri sculpture and the Helsinki Biennial. It is part of Patsastellaan: Parties for Public Sculpture, an ongoing project by James Prevett where artists are invited to make a new public work for a public sculpture in Helsinki. Begun in 2017, Patsastellaan: Parties for Public Sculpture has produced 11 collaborative events around the extensive public sculpture collection of Helsinki.
Muuri by visual artist Joni Kärkkäinen and dance artist Jukka Tarvainen was a both a sculpture and stage for a series of parkour dance performances, produced by Zodiak – Center for New Dance.
