Videokaffe: Artist Talk & Film Screening Series
Wednesday, August 18, 6:30PM
This summer, Videokaffe is going on a road trip through the USA. Along their route from NY- LA -NY, they will be stopping at art centers to give artist talks and screen a series of Finnish video art they call “Northern Lights.” The one-and-a-half-hour-long video program of contemporary Finnish video art features work from: Heini Aho, Leena Kela, Essi Kausalainen, Jari Kallio & Antti Jussila aka MSL+ Jaakko Pallasvuo, Annika Dahlsten & Markku Laakso.
Northern Lights shows a series of short films and performances from which some tell a story with a clear message, and others are more surreal with an intuitive approach. Through this Videokaffe hopes to share with communities throughout the USA a glimpse of ART from a faraway land.
ABOUT Videokaffe
Videokaffe is a collaborative network of 10 artist members in various locations between North America and Europe. Videokaffe explores the intersection of handcraft and technology through public art sculpture, exhibitions, residencies, and internet-based network platforms. They promote curiosity, the use of your own hands, and the joy of invention. Between exhibitions, Videokaffe’s members meet regularly online by connecting their studios via networking technology and video capture devices. Collaborating in this fashion, the Videokaffe collective examines themes such as the future of making, collective action versus individual practice, and the performative nature of work and play as a means of exploration and discovery.
