Yö Kekri

Uusia kohtaamisia uuden taiteen äärellä! 

 

Yö Kekri on kolmen viikon mittainen taidefestivaali, joka kokoaa yhteen eri taiteenaloja teatterista runouteen, tanssista performanssiin, maalaustaiteesta kuvanveistoon ja ompelusta digitaaliseen taiteeseen.

 

Perinteisten kekri-korjuujuhlien tapaan monipäiväinen, monitaiteellinen ja monikielinen Yö Kekri juhlistaa vanhan päättymistä ja siirtymistä uuteen.

 

Kaikkiin tapahtumiin, työpajoihin ja esityksiin on vapaa pääsy!

Tapahtumaa tuke Helsingin kaupunki.

Strata

Petra Martinez & Inka Wallgren

| a layer of material, naturally or artificially formed, often one of a number of parallel layers one upon another |

Strata on taiteilijakaksikko Petra Martinezin ja Inka Wallgrenin keväällä 2022 aloittama yhteisprojekti; prosessipohjaisesti etenevä, muuntuva ja kerrostuva installaatioteos. Teoksen lähtökohtana on löydetty, kierrätetty ja työhuoneen nurkissa pyörivä materiaali, jonka työstäminen ja vaistonvarainen käsittely johtaa useaan erilaiseen yhdessä laadittuun lopputulemaan. Stratan ensimmäinen osa oli esillä Fiskars Village Art & Design Biennalen rinnakkaisohjelmassa kesällä 2022 Fiskarsin Vanhassa Valimossa. Myös Yö-kekrin jälkeen teos puretaan ja pakataan pois odottamaan mahdollista uutta muotoa ja lokaatiota. Työn etenemistä ja tekijöiden yhteisen muotokielen etsimistä voi seurata instagram-tililtä s_t_r_a_t_a.

THE SUN RAY HUNTER
pop-up show

Natalia Koziel-Kalliomäki, Ina Heiskanen, Jyrki Sinisalo & Annette Wesseling

The artists discuss the issue of light and then share its different definitions with public at the YÖ gallery. Through their works the artists wish to boost the connection with natural power of sun and strong beam of light to illuminate the months to come and better prepare for poorly lit Finnish winter. 

In The SUN RAY HUNTER pop-up show we are looking for actions that engage many senses. Exhibited elements involve the viewer, through the experience of art they becomes contemplative and even meditative. In addition to its sensual visual aspect, the aim of this project is to evoke a feeling of connection and coexistence.

This project is supported by TAIKE Arts Promotion Centre Finland.

Avohaave

Veera Lamberg, Julia Gauffin, Mia Kivinen, Kalle Ahonen, Janne Masalin ja Inari Pesonen.

Avohaave on valmisteilla oleva, unelmoinnista inspiroitunut näyttämöteos, jonka hahmotelmia kokeillaan Yö Kekrin demossa.

Teoksen taustalla on uteliaisuus siitä, miten lapsuuden rajattomat haaveet näyttäytyvät meille aikuisina ja miten suhteutamme itsemme kerryttämiimme unelmiin. Miten toiveet muuttuvat ajan kuluessa ja millaisen hahmon ne saavat toteutuessaan? 

Teoksen ja demon työryhmä koostuu eri taiteenalan ammattilaisista, jotka ovat kokoontuneet yhteen yhteisen unelman äärelle. Tämänhetkisessä maailmantilanteessa unelmoiminen tuntuu radikaalilta ja epätoivoisen tarpeelliselta askeleelta kohti toivoa.

Esityksen ohjaajina, koreografeina ja esiintyjinä toimivat Veera Lamberg  ja Julia Gauffin. Valosuunnittelija Mia Kivinen, skenografi Kalle Ahonen, äänisuunnittelija Janne Masalin, tuottaja Inari Pesonen.

The Air We Share 2.0

Kamila Śladowska, Giorgio Convertito, Liina Kuittinen and Willem Wilhelmus

Artists from the fields of performance art, dance, music, poetry, visual arts present their works and collaborate with each other. It will be an experiment in creating live art forms oscillating between individual and collective actions.

The Air We Share 2.0 is meant as a radical medicine against the stupor that took hold of society because of covid19 and this brain dead war. We need to come together again to share the most humane of human actions: experimental live art.

For such an experiment we will only invite professional artists who are able to trust their skills and at the same time be sensitive for others (colleagues and audience) to allow for improvisation when needed. Each evening event five artists from the fields of performance art, dance, music, poetry, visual arts will present their works.

The organising team members are visual artist Kamila Śladowska, dancer Giorgio Convertito and performance artists Liina Kuittinen and Willem Wilhelmus. The team is varied in gender, age and nationality, but they all share the commitment to make experimental live arts as challenging and accessible as possible to the cultural scene in Helsinki. The event organised in Yö Kekri is exceptional as the performing artists are the members of the working group.

Yö Pajat | Recreation
ompelutyöpaja

Anastasia Artemeva
 

Welcome to a sewing workshop as part of Leftover Limbs installation at Yö Kekri group installation.

Recreation: a series of projects and multimedia installations around the act of sewing, the spaces of confinement and ritual. Through visual, performative and dialogical processes we investigate assumed social roles, ideas of judgement, as well as personal and collective boundaries.

What we will do: We will get together and make. There will be a chance to share the experiences of dealing with unfinished projects, unused materials and the infinite to-do lists. What can we create from a cut out dress pattern even when it will no longer fit? What can we create with the fabric cut offs ? What is the meaning and the value in the materials and actions leftover, unused and undone? How can we preserve and value the unfinished work ? We will learn sewing techniques, collage, spatial installation technique and will formulate concrete ideas for artistic works.

Who is this for: This workshop is for anyone practising art and handicraft, professionally or leisurely or both, persons who would like to share skills and work methodologies in a supportive environment. We follow Safer Space guidelines.

What you will need: You are encouraged to bring along an unfinished project. It can be a textiles project, but it does not have to be - a text, a drawing, a funding application. We will apply the concepts of sewing and mending to any possible processes. For those joining us on-site there will be a limited amount of materials available free of charge.

Duration: 4 hrs with breaks. Please bring your own snack and water bottle if you are joining us on-site.
