At Supermarket 2022, the booth of Galleria Huuto becomes a venue for two interwoven projects that deal with the act of drawing and the relation between the artist and the audience. Three artists exhibit different approaches to these subjects. Anu Haapanen and Piia Kokkarinen create an installation ‘Parallel Gardens’ that develops through a dialogical drawing process during the fair – in front of a live audience the artists create a spatial and visual synthesis of their pictorial thinking and expression. Timo Tähkänen’s curious and whimsical clown character Elle Cockerel combines play and art historical references in their performances. Elle brings to the fair a daily interactive performance ‘The Artist Is a Present’ and a one-off performance ‘Hopscotch’.
