Amorph!08, Paris-Helsinki, part I

May 26th, 2008

The 9th international festival for performative arts Amorph!08 is organized in Paris and Helsinki in May-August, 2008. The organizer is Artists’ Association Muu and artistic curator vocal and performance artist Juha Valkeapää.

Amorph!08 has two phases. The first phase takes place on May 26 - June 8, 2008, in Paris, where it belongs to Printemps (Im)médiat!, Institut Finlandais coordinated part of 100 % Finlande - en France - printemps 2008. The second phase is organized on August 18 - 8 September, 2008, in Helsinki.

Amorph!08 is a meeting point. Participating artists represent the wide field of experimental performative arts: performance art, dance, sound & music, video & web art. The theme is public spaces of Paris and Helsinki. The curator has chosen four Finnish and four French artists, and made four pairs of artists. They are Charlie Jeffery-Jouni Partanen, Carole Douillard-Essi Kausalainen, Viviana Moin-Mimosa Pale, Christophe Bruno-Pessi Parviainen. Each pair will get a public place - flea market, park, river or sea side - to work on. The Parisian places are located near to Mains d’Œuvres, Khiasma and La Générale des Sevres; in Helsinki the central place is Hietalahti. The results of the pairs’ work - performance, installation, presentation, lecture - are shown during the festival weekend.
