Kaisu Talvikki Gallery at an Abandoned House

Here's a video from my sister Kaisu's art gallery in an abandoned house in Pornainen, Finland. I didn't get all the details, hidden paintings or works that you simply have to be there to see and experience, nor anything from the upstairs. The gallery is open all of May on Tuesdays 5-8PM, Saturdays and Sundays 11AM-5PM (see Kaisu's website for more info). Welcome!

The music is Kaisu improvising on kantele (and a tiny clip of organ in the end). The kantele song is called How many times have I been born, died, born. There is more of her music and nature sounds she recorded playing at the gallery too, along with the video installation. Here's Kaisu (in a hoodie she knitted which I think is gorgeousss).

Marianne is about to find a hidden work behind the door.

Today Kaisu and I are going to print out the bunny cards I told you about, as well as do another exciting project we came up with yesterday. More about that later! I'll leave you with your friendly neighborhood basement goblins -- Marianne and I checking out the cellar of the house. All these photos are by Minna.

PS. In case you're wondering, Talvikki is Kaisu's middle name and means "Wintery" :)

Kaisu's Gallery Opening TODAY! In Pornainen, Finland

Please come today, beginning 6:30PM, or visit the gallery later this May. My sister Kaisu took over this abandoned house and created a BEAUTIFUL, authentic, unique art experience there. For all you thousands of miles away, I'll take photos today and put them up here tomorrow ;)

Hurt Tutorial

Take one hurt,

not bigger than a daisy.

Let it flatten between 

encyclopedia pages and

study irrelevant diseases

for seven years.

Cautious not to squash 

any quivering grudges,

glue pretty feathers

around your precious.

Secure the creation onto

your chest with the fear of 

cancer and ghosts of turtles.

Wistfully and alone dance in

the chance of rain.
