| Vanha Paukka is an impressive and fairly extensive community center with many different available resources for artists and community members. And the people who we are working with us are making every effort to ensure that we have a positive, productive residency. We have an exhibition/performance set up for the end of the month. Two, maybe three, potential collaborators to develop a performance. Keys to the shared studio, keys to the dance studio, permission to exhibit in the beautiful "cold storage" area. Various supplies have been scrounged. A sewing machine borrowed. Christine took us in her '80 Dodge Aspen (video forthcoming) to find structural elements for |
envisioned paper walls for our installation and also took us to visit the community public cottage outside of town. Inspired by the photos of the deceased factory workers in the Center's chapel we have started building 40 papier-mâché "heads" for the installation.
Two bicycles have been loaned to us. Not the most stable vehicles on the road but we are definitely enjoying them.
