During my internship at PUBLICS, I have organised and hosted one day of studio and museum visits for the curators in residence of CPR22 (Curatorial Program for Research).
For the six international curators, I have organised a tour through the different bodies and exhibitionary formats in the city of Helsinki, aiming to offer an overview of how the artistic landscape is articulated locally.
We started the day at PUBLICS, curatorial agency with dedicated library and event space, introducing PUBLICS programme and the upcoming Open Up and Shape Helsinki Symposium.
We continued to visit Dylan Ray Arnold's exhibition at Pengerkatu 7 - Työhuone: massage place on weekdays, exhibition space at weekends, Pengerkatu 7 is an interesting example of how curatorship can respond to the urban and institutional landscape in Helsinki.
We visited the exhibition “Kuvan Kevät 22” at the University of Arts Helsinki. “Kuvan Kevät” is the yearly graduate exhibition by the masters students of the academy of fine arts. There we met emerging artists: Laura Pakarinen, Natalie Seifert Eliassen, and Pedro Riva.
Artist and curator Jani Ruscica offered us a tour of their exhibition "No Dot on the I" at Taidehalli Helsinki.
We closed the day meeting chief curator João Laia and artist Anni Puolakka at the exhibition ARS22 at Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art.
Curatorial Program for Research CPR is a program of international residencies of artists and curators that aims at widening access to professional development and international networking.
