Porvoo Triennial: Space is a Common Thing

The Porvoo Triennial is an urban festival of visual art held every three years. It is based on partnership and community. At the heart of the event are art exhibitions set in different parts of the city. The Triennial brings together many well-known visual artists from around the world. At the Triennial, contemporary art comments the city´s temporal and functional layers. It confronts and challenges the viewer in everyday life, even in unexpected situations.

This time, art conquers the urban space under the title Space is a Common Thing. The theme is widely discussed from different perspectives: nature, environment, humanity, society, community, individuality and different structures. Contemporary art contains diverse and critical positions on the state of nature and the search for extremes.

The artistic director of the event is visual artist Petri Hytönen and the curator is the Swedish artist John Rasimus from Falun.
