Forming the Line
5.12.2015 – 5.1.2016
Alkovi Gallery, Helsinki (FI)
From inside a showcase facing the public space, two times compete with each other: the action of a large-scale repetitive drawing and different performative actions of a repetitive nature. Forming the Line is a study of the defining properties of repetition, and the potential of incremental action in accelerated contemporaneity.
This project results in a temporary simultaneity of different alignments, of different actions taking place in the same locale, and yet, un-entangled lines of doing.
