Iijoki-suhteet exhibition opening 16th May at 6-7 pm at KulttuuriKauppila.
Exhibition is open on Saturday-Sunday 11-15 o`clock. Monday – Friday 13 – 18 o`clock.
Iijoki-suhteet [Iijoki relations] is a sound and video installation created together with inhabitants from Ii, reflecting on their relationship to water and the local river Iijoki. It takes the form of a collective narration dealing with the importance of place identity and belonging, where awareness of environmental factors can facilitate a collaborative consciousness and reevaluation of how people relate to nature and their place of residence.
Pintajännitys -concert on 29th May at 6 pm at Nättepori auditorium in Ii.
Pintajännitys [Surface Tension] is a live performance electro-acoustic sound piece, where the goal is to enable an immersive listening experience which enhances sonic and environmental awareness. The composition is created by analyzing different material aspects of water, where both field-recordings as well as water which comes directly from Iijoki are used as vital sound sources for electronic manipulation.
FREE ENTRANCE! WELCOME!
The exhibition and concert are part of the AIB premilinary program.
