UPCOMING! Art Journey to Luleå 27.–28.11.2021

Art Vehicles takes passengers on an immersive journey from Oulu to Luleå on 27–28 November 2021. The planned trip to Luleå Biennial in 2020 will finally be completed in 2021. As the next time the Luleå Biennial is organised in 2022, the bus journey in 2021 will be full of art. 

During the trip, the works of international artists will be experienced. The Dutch sound art crew Stalplaat Soundsystem (Geert-Jan Hobijn and Radboud Mens) makes the bus play with various magnetic hammers and the Russian artist Alena Tereshko makes a mosaic of the trip. The artist Tessa Aste from Liminka documents the realisation of the journey by means of a comic and illustrations. Minka Heino from Vihti writes aphorisms and descriptions of the scenes on the way and performs at break spots. During the trip, Simo Rouhiainen projects video content both inside the bus and outside the bus. The artist couple Alex Van Giersbergen and Marloes Van Son, who live in Helsinki, will perform in the ALOES assembly. The Russian the Solaris Soundtrack (Maxim Ilyukhin and Boris Lesnoy) is inspired by story narration to create new worlds of sound.

 Inversia Feb 6-9: REXIT

7-9 February 2019

This time Inversia is a meditative exploration of alternative Northern dimensions on the border between total winter anabiosis and dreams of future potentials. While intermingling genres, venues, geography and directions of thought inside the festival program, we interrupt the time passage a few seconds before awakening, right when the mind concedes any intervention and is ready to accept reality of the current.
Here darkness becomes the reason to slow down and peer into pulsating inner world and freezing environment pricks with chances to perceive the subsistence for real. Inversia 2019 is a transfer between the festival spaces, from virtual linkages to inseparable connections with routine, a wander through many mythical and true-like, intelligible and inverted, analog and digital paths.

Let's meet at crossroads.
Checkpoint - Murmansk.
We're awaiting, eagerly.
