Jani Ruscica’s new site-specific artwork

On Tuesday, 8 August, the public has a chance to explore Jani Ruscica’s new body of work at the Helsinki Upper Secondary School of Language in Myllypuro. The multipart, site-specific artwork is scattered around the school building, consisting of aluminum shapes and taped characters, and complemented by a sound piece created by an algorhitmic poem generator. “Between figuration and abstraction, image and language, symbol, form and shape these works alter their form performatively and in relation to the architecture,” Ruscica writes. The work is included in the City of Helsinki’s public art collection.

The tour is part of the HAM Helsinki Art Museum’s Shared space exhibition’s guided tour series. Guided tours will be organised across the city in spaces that are not typically open to the public.
