Welcome to join us for the opening on the 2nd of November 18-21! 

And who touches my lips,
who consoles me,
maybe a grown-up child or me alone.
The night passed, the hours passed quickly.
The cold room was already warming with
Whoever finds my breasts will have my heart as a reward.
Whoever meets my seeds will have all my love.

The main motivating force for Ignata Elana’s practice relates to inhabiting a fluctuating corporeity. She uses different forms of installation, video diaries, and live sets to investigate how bodies respond to restrictive movements in social interactions, isolated dancing, and modifications related to gender identity and states of transition. Using sound arrangements as scores, Ignata’s works thread together private materials such as text, video, voice notes, and photos in different constellations.

Salome Rajanti is an artist working with painting, sound, moving images and text. She wants to uncover the importance of the infra-ordinary. She thinks that wistful tacky things, images and music hold silent sincere intelligence. She graduated as Master of Arts from Kuvataideakatemia. Besides the artistic career she has worked in various different jobs that all together have formed her unsystematic professionalism.

Lono explores identity politics through the allure and desire that emerges in the myth, the dreams, the absurd and the tyranny of pop culture. These thoughts and materials have been torn in pieces because of migration, and otherness. By using video, archive, memory and sculpture. Lono has an urge to create new sets of realities out of disparity.
