UrbanApa X Ateneum: In the Deep / On the Surface

2023

Helsinki

Visual Identity for a Contemporary Performance Festival

A dynamic visual identity centered around a texture in motion. An experimental video-based poster & event communications. The thematic landscape of the festival was in the deep / on the surface. The curators ask: What kinds of things are present and in motion? Already identifiable? What kinds of things are just taking shape? What is surfacing in different contexts? Or what kinds of things are under the surface or in the depths? How can working and doing be many things at once – deep, pleasurable, light, subversive? Playful, feminist and communal? Or utopian?

Curated by Emmi Venna and Sonya Lindfors.

Rehearsing Hospitalities

2021-23

Helsinki

Communication design, strategy and event production for a contemporary art public programme

Frame’s public programme Rehearsing Hospitalities has sought to ‘connect artists, curators and other practitioners in the field of contemporary art and beyond to mediate new practices and understandings with diverse hospitalities’. From 2019 to 2023, the programme has included commissions, exhibitions, discussions and bi-annual gatherings. The communication materials for the programme are tied together by the visual identity, designed by Elina Holey in 2019, which I expanded upon to create a range of diverse communication materials backed with a comprehensive communication strategy. To balance dynamism and change with familiarity and recognizability, certain aspects of the original Rehearsing Hospitalities identity were transfigured, while other elements were unchanged.

Moon in your Mouth / I Consent Summer School

2023

Oslo

Mini-campaign for a contemporary art exhibition and parallel summer school

For the final collaboration of the season in June 2023, Frame partners with UKS–Young Artists’ Society in Oslo to put forth the exhibition Moon in Your Mouth considering consent, intimacy and emotional labour in the realm of exhibition making. Thinking of consent in artist-curator relationships, curator Max Hannus asks how to think about consent as a methodological tool. As a parallel to the exhibition, both partners along with Bedside Productions come together to co-host I CONSENT, a three-day summer school convening these investigations.

Editorial Tables: Reciprocal Hospitalities

2023

London

Poster and communications material for an exhibition showcasing diverse publishing practices

A collaboration between Frame Contemporary Art Finland, The Showroom (London) and the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland. As described by the curators, the programme “celebrates the production and dissemination of knowledge through the act of experimental and artist-led publishing, with a focus on intersecting feminist and decolonial perspectives.” The Showroom is a not-for-profit art gallery in Marylebone, London, which displays site-specific works by emerging artists. The visual identity highlights the collaborative nature, the cross-currents between practices, and the idea of the exhibition as a lively, interactive space. It also takes into account the local context and audiences, reflecting the neighbourhood's diversity and the distinct visual presence, which stands out in the neighbourhood.

UA mini residencies

2022

Helsinki

Visual identity & communication design for short artists’ residencies in Finland.

The visual identity is rooted in the idea of smallness, nurture, care and growth. The main idea is simple: tiny houseplants growing out of tiny cups that act almost like a mini-residency–a small place for nurture and growth. The houseplants are blooming and thriving in their tiny cups, alluding to the resident artists in the mini-residencies.

Konvolv

2020

Helsinki

Visual identity for a new media art cooperative

Konvolv is new media art cooperative engaged in experiential art, creative tech education, and new media consultation. After becoming a member of the co-op, as the resident Visual Artist, I was asked to design a visual identity. The word Konvolv is a play on the word Convolution, a mathematical operation on two functions that produces a third function, which ties in with the cooperative's focus on transmedia experimentation to push boundries of creative technology, art and activism. The visual identity uses a custom typeface designed with glyphdrawingclub.com. The design of the typeface is inspired by the concept of convolution, visually represented as two different kinds of signal waves convoluting to produce the letters.

It combines human-centered design and interdisciplinary approaches to co-create new solutions for women’s sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing." - excerpt from thisiscore.org.

Infragraphy Vol 2

2019

Espoo

Student publication / Essay / Contemporary art / Circuit bending / Inequality

from Samir Bhowmik's blog post: INFRAGRAPHY Volume 2. is a compilation of critical student artworks and short essays dealing with the materialities of media technologies and their environmental implications. These works and texts are the outcomes from the course ‘Media and the Environment’ in the Fall of 2019 at the Department of Media, Aalto University. The course was a series of scholarly readings about and around the themes of media including media’s relations and impacts on the so-called Anthropocene, thermocultures of media, ecologies of fabrication, media and plastics, Internet of Things, Planned Obsolescence, e-waste, and media’s energetic landscapes. A key approach of the course was also introducing artistic methods and practices that could address emerging media materialities. The final exhibition of the course was a collection of student artworks as a response to the contemporary discourse of political economy of media and related environmental implications.
