Waiting Room | Odotushuone
13.–28.8.2022
Konalanvuori Shopping Mall, Helsinki
Part of the group exhibition Ostaritutkimuksia
Curated by Miina Pohjolainen and Salla Valle
Shopping Mall Investigations was a project lead by Miina Pohjolainen and Salla Valle. I was invited to participate in the project’s group exhibition along with artists Saara-Maria Kariranta and PWSC (Shubhangi Singh ja Kush Badhwar).
The exhibition was held at Konalanvuori Shopping Mall in Helsinki in a former dentist’s space. Into the waiting room of this space I built a site-specific installation. Waiting Room was a study/interpretation of the atmosphere of the former dentists and the old shopping mall. I worked in terms of the space and lead by it, using mainly the existing materials and features of the place. My goal was to make the elements play together as if by tuning.
Matti Berg made “waiting music” into the toilet next to the waiting room.
