fill in the blanks







Think about space, escaping, hiding spaces, building a house on a moving object. thriving in departure zones like bus stations and airports. standing still in a dust storm or at the top of Martin Place. waiting watching. think about closing your eyes and imagine running so fast. you breathe fast, start gasping for air and you haven't moved a muscle. lying at the bottom of the pool and looking up through the water. diving. listening to your breath. closing your eyes.







then think about construction/fabrication/make up masks/costumes/houses.







games/ ladders/interiors/superfluous decoration and the definition of O.T.T . and imagine how much you can hide under that distraction, colourful beautiful creative mess.

Ari Kakkinen and Anne Karin Furunes

Ari Kakkinen:
I love her hiding obsession too.
I saw her work in the image and after exhibition at the kiasma in Helsinki:





Anne Karin Furunes: (below)
The first painting I had seen of the Furunes was a large painting (or the absence of) of a dead woman called Rita Roos. I loved her articulation of the subject through the materiality. instead of painting the portait on the board, she has cut it out. So a series of strategically drilled holes in the board form an image of the subject, but show her missing, like in death.
I am obsessed with temporal sculpture at the moment and can't wait to start getting started after august. I think Furunes work uses materiality and it's application to question the temporality of the subject and nature of portraiture/representation
