A party in every room is about music, festivals, fooling about, flirting, meeting friends, showing off or being anxious or lonely. The 12 works in the exhibition include ten videos, most of which are displayed as installations that have been specially made for the exhibition.
A Party in every room has been inspired by the innovative TV stations ATV and MoonTV, their way of making programmes and their attitude to both themselves and their subjects that is so different from mainstream TV. The works in the exhibition share a similar desire to avoid hierarchies, restraints on expression, playing games and taking on roles. The artists have had a ’party’, enjoying themselves, relaxing and dispensing with formalities.
The artists are Marko Heinonen, Tanja Koponen, Jouko Korkeasaari, Heta Kuchka, Tuomas Laitinen, John Phillip Mäkinen, Erkka Nissinen, Anneli Nygren and Wicky Suicide, with a special appearance by Jani Hänninen.
