The Third Power (Swe)
Performance artists Marja-Leena Sillanpää, Pär Thörn, and Leif Elggren explore the aesthetic implications of breakfast chats, printing ink, and mishearings. They lay bare the divide between the fragmentary orchestra pit of music, the heroic features of everyday life, and the emptiness of mass media. This performative work is realized through cut-up-technique, voice, improvisation and movement.
The show will mainly take place at neighboring Gallery Myymälä2 on Uudenmaankatu 23.
