Hei Kesä @ Oulu Arts Night
[gallery columns="4" link="none" ids="15540,15677,15394,15179"] @dkompany PIENOISLEHTIEN TEKEMINEN on Suomessa vielä harvinainen harrastus. Työpajassa tutustut lehtien tekemisen mahdollisuuksiin ja opit taittelemaan ja tekemään uniikkeja tai monistettavia vihkosia. Sisältö voi olla kuvia, tekstiä tai ehkäpä pieni tarina. Millaisen lehden sinä voisit tehdä? Pajaan osallistuminen ei vaadi aiempaa kokemusta tai valmista ideaa.…
Kesämuisto
"MISSÄ OLET NYT, Alexis?" "Hei, Ma." "Mistä kutsut minua?" 'Kärsämäki.' Äitini nauroi. 'Hei odota. Et ole leikkiä. Olen kuullut tuosta paikasta, mutta ... onko se todella paikka? Tarkoitan, se on oikeastaan paikka sitten. Ah?' 'Joo. Se on paikka, äiti. " Tauko. Sitten: "Kuka hän on?" Editor's note: The above is…

S P A C E || Threads
THE SUMMER STARTED with just a simple question, 'What are the threads?' Telling the stories, sharing the narratives, making the necklace, and developing the voice. All of this happens in the space of conversations. Where you discover something new about, say, someone else, but also, in the process of simply…
S P A C E || Take on Me
ONE OF THE FUNNEST things about being in the middle of Finland all summer is listening to Radio Nova. I'm not kidding. I really like it. I don't know. I think it's because of all these 1990s songs, hit songs, stuff I haven't heard since... well... then. I don't listen…

S P A C E || Kesä rakkaustarina
ALKU ON VAIKEIN osa kirjoittaa. Aloittaminen, alku. Tunne, ettei tiedä, mistä asiat alkavat. Jos vain, jos vain. Kyllä kyllä. Kesä. Näen nyt. Yritän saada tunteita järjestäytyneeksi. Ei ole helppoa. Minulla ei ole aavistustakaan, mitä teen. (Mutta … ei ole näin, miten se alkaa, olen tuntenut hänet alle kymmenen päivää, onko…
29 August | ‘N’ Helsinki: NEUROSIS
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. Neurosis. In more than 50 conversations to date with people on the bus, on the street, in cafes, at pubs, passing through the town, looking left, discovering something, sitting still, not speaking, in libraries, distancing themselves, and telling me in some form or fashion that DK's…

S P A C E || Slow moment
IN A FEW DAYS, I will be starting the salon in our protected-page space, 'Slow Moment.' It's about slowing down. Recharging. Discovering yourself when you make time to show up... for you. No obligations, no 'to-do's, and scrapping the idea of 'getting something accomplished,' the idea of this particular programme…
