Falungang
A group of artists, some unknown to each other, get together and start to realise themselves with a new technique. The group consists of experienced artists from Stockholm, Falun, Helsinki and Porvoo with different backgrounds, based in Falun and Sweden, using animation and video techniques. As an artist, you work mainly alone, concentrating for hours in silence, accompanied only by the work and the tools.
In the group, we start to play, listening to each other’s ideas, inspired by the group’s drawings and ways of working. When you lose the ability to play, you are no longer creative. With good artists you can trust the level, everyone’s game is serious.
In some ways, working in a group is very different from working alone. It’s about not being hung up on preconceived plans, being open to new ideas and riding the best energy. It also requires a certain amount of perseverance and process when the bird’s-feather focus of the team is about to go out of the window. On the other hand, all this also applies to working alone. In group work, it is structured in front of your eyes in a different way.

Ida Koitila
Who and why R U an artist? I’m a Finnish artist who grew up in the southwest parts of Sweden. After finishing my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki in 2011, I spent almost a decade in Berlin, eventually returning to Finland, finding a new setting for my work in Hanko. Already at an early age I occupied myself with the creation of small sculptures. Through these exercises I learned to process the things happening around me. This method turned into a way of life, and although I had the possibility to choose differently later on, I decided to continue with the mental workout that the life as an artist offered me.
What is “Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? When I create an artwork I always try to put the viewer in relation to a space. It can be by simply working with the physical elements in the exhibition room, or by trying to create more of a mental atmosphere, brought to life by the combination of various objects and imagery.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? For this particular installation I thought about space in a broader context, as the overall habitat that we all share. The works are fairly straight forward, pending between their domestic aesthetics and intrusive claims that our civilizations are going up in fames. The installation depicts a forward motion that are realized through the transformation of the objects brought in to the gallery.

The Whole (Riimikko)
The Hollow (Porvoo Arthall)
A software bug is an error, flaw, failure, or fault in a computer program or system
that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result or to behave in unintended ways. A hole, an absence of meaning, gives significance and makes
the environment and behaviour visible. A donut is not a donut without its hole.

Mattias Hellberg
Who and why R U an artist? My name is Mattias Hellberg, and I am a Swedish artist living in Oslo, Norway. I started out as a musician at a very young age, but eventually realized that it was the performance aspect, rather than the music itself, that truly captivated me. This realization led me to embrace the identity of an artist.
What is “Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? Space is, or at least should be, a common space. My work for the Triennale examine our common space, by exploring the inner aspects of being in a very literal sense, both physically and psychologically.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? I will present three videos and a performance that reinterpret Moomin Valley with an existential and ufological twist. The videos explore the experiences of a solitary character wearing a Moomin mask who undergoes psychosis, encounters attacks by Hattifatteners, suffers from stomach problems, and more.

Richie Budd
Who and why R U an artist? Richie Budd, living and art studio in Texas, USA. I am an artist because that’s what I’ve chosen to do for now.
What is “Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? Space is a common thing because it is everywhere and we use it every day to travel, to build things, and to communicate. The universe is vast and there is an enormous amount of empty space and it is something that we all share.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? WALL MOLE™ shares concepts of the East and the West. Inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s sixteen-inch beauty mark on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, WALL MOLE fuses Marilyn Monroe’s iconic facial dot, the aesthetic of Donald Judd’s internationally renowned minimalist artwork, and auspicious concepts of Feng Shui into a purposeful interior architectural beauty mark.
WALL MOLE, like the sixteenth President of the United States, is an emancipator and preserver of wholeness in unions. WALL MOLE weakens the projected negative energy associated with sharp ninety-degree corners found in most homes and offices. In Feng Shui these corners are known as Sha Chi or poison arrows. They prohibit the flow of positive chi and can weaken energy and lessen good health and well-being. When WALL MOLE is placed at these locations, it neutralizes the negative and causes a positive energy to flow more smoothly through a room. Painted black, WALL MOLE is the color of money and holds the energy of power and protection. This combination of direct ties to demigods, good flowing energy, and financial potency causes good fortune to soon follow, buy now.
The creator of WALL MOLE is a direct bloodline descendant of Abraham Lincoln. ©
Richard Johansson
Who and why R U an artist? I have always loved to listen to stories. Both large and small. The reports are the central ones for me in my art. I only went to primary school for four years, and I was almost completely stranded in school for the last three years. I often got sick and ran and pushed myself away.
The visual visual language was known as the language of the time. Efter att ha arbetat i fem år i industrin, började jag studera konst 21 år gammal. Efter sju års studier började min konstnärsbana. As an artist, the report is a red herring. For me, the meaning of the picture is more important than being a skilled marketer. As an artist, I am interested in my path, the path of men and the path of society.
What is “Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? For me, everything is a space, big or small, inside and outside of me, places where I try to navigate.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? My wish is to be taken to Borgå and the exhibition (because I don’t want to go back).
