Platform Live – Artist Talks

Friday 25.2.2011 starting at 19.00 – at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art

Helga Steppan

Helga Steppan is a Swedish artist who’s at the Platform residency during February and March. She’s working mainly with photographic media in combination with installation and elements of performance. One of her main interests lies in the meeting-point — or space — between the two- and three dimensional, like the way everyday objects, people and situations interact with each other. Steppan constructs environments dealing with issues of identification, storytelling, ownership and consumption. In her multi-pronged experiments in documenting and archiving, she aims to demonstrate that the process of reconstruction highlights the powers of apparently mundane objects to summon memories and evoke experiences.

Florian Tuercke

Florian Tuercke is a German artist, currently Artist in Residence in Nykarleby. He says:

“My main interest in my artistic work is public space. Sculpture, performance, sound- and mediaart merge together to project orientated artworks. My current long-term project is a musical research within the sound of traffic. Therefore I examined the street sounds of a number of Cities in America, Hungary, Switzerland and Germany (and soon Finland).”

Platform Live 21.1.2011

Thursday 21.1.2011 starting at 19.00 – at Kuntsi

Pernilla Ljungqvist

Pernilla Ljungkvist is a Swedish artist based in Gothenberg.

Sometimes she’s living someone else’s life, acts like them, think their thoughts and takes over their identity.
Sometimes she writes letters to them, plants herself in their subconsciousness and controls even their tiniest movements.
Sometimes she only watch them from a distance.
Sometimes she takes part at religious meetings and takes over the place of the leader, sometimes she watches reality TV and wishes that she never again would have to meet any living person.
She likes animals, and wonders sometime, if life without them is worth living.
She’s made performances in Europe, China, USA and Japan, and will finish her MA studies at Konsthögskolan Valand this year.
