About the Exhibition:

Urban space is kept in constant movement by the events and phenomena that take place there. The surrounding environment influences us all the time, and thus the Process Festival focuses on artists who have a certain role in shaping the urban environment; artists who have initiated some changes in urban space, inspired by events happening in the environment and by a simple wish to be visible. The exhibition tries to explain the creative processes of artists and let them explain their views. What is an artist thinking when he or she uses public space as canvas? Why do they interfere in urban space? What are the artists’ aims? Where are the ideas coming from, and what are the sources of inspiration? Whether and why is it necessary to bring urban art indoors? What can be called art in that context? When exactly is a work of art completed and should it be completed? What are the artists’ aesthetic values?

The exhibition is curated by Viktor Gurov and organised by Estonian Institute in Finland.

About The Festival:

Prosessifestivaali is an international urban space and street art festival on Helsinki Day, 12 June 2013. The festival is part of the Helsinki Day and Helsinki Week programme and includes many other events in Suvilahti.

The outcome of the festival is a street art work in Suvilahti area (the Tiivistämö building will be revamped inside), i.e. an exhibition of street art will be completed by the Helsinki Day, open until (Finnish) St John’s Day.

Suvilahti graffiti wall

Suvilahti graffiti wall will be open at Prosessifestivaali the whole day! The graffiti wall is a part of a new experiment with the intention of bringing more well-deserved recognition to graffiti art and culture, as well as keeping the walls of buildings around the Suvilahti area otherwise graffiti-free.

All members of public are allowed to paint on the wall with their own equipment. The graffiti wall is open daily around the clock.
