“As worldwide crises become more commonplace and technological determinism a norm, our position offers a secondary point: let’s slow down and return to fundamental ideas of humanity. Weaving, an ancient craft practiced even before agricultural settlement, spans the globe. Virtually the same can be said about belief systems – folklores and creation myths remain in the background even as materiality and mass individuality dominate. We present tools for humans; in a hyperinflation of objects, we choose the slow, the analog, the meaningful and the sacred.”

Weaving and Believing is a sculptural installation that evolves daily in the gallery, as works are added, removed, or developed during opening hours. The exhibition invites viewers to witness transformation in real time. Both Götsch and Yoshizawa studied design at Aalto University a decade ago and now also work as visual artists, sharing a deep interest in tools and textile materials. This exhibition came also through the effort of hastily carrying our art works through the treacherous ice, right before it was impossible to reach their Harakka Island studios.

Midway gathering: Sunday 12.4 13-18
