In the Presence of the Artist – An Artist Meet-up in the Form of a Discussion
What is an artist’s work really about? Where do artworks come from, and what is it like to make art in Meri-Lappi?
At the event, artists participating in the Rajapinta | Gränsyta exhibition will discuss their creative practices, artworks and experiences of working as artists. The conversation may touch on topics such as inspiration, materials, working conditions, failures, making a living as an artist, and what it means to build an artistic identity from the perspective of the periphery.
A moderator will guide the discussion and also invite questions from the audience. The aim is not to present ready-made answers, but to create a conversation between artists, the audience and the local art community.
The participating artists will be announced closer to the event.
Free admission.
Event is in Finnish.
