Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki asked us to
propose a site for an outdoor group show in Helsinki 2000.
We proposed an industrial seaside area between Helsinki's
southern park-like recidential neighbourhood and western harbour.
The area is a man made ship yard "peninsula" on
the top of former row of islands. On the seashore facing to
the south-east there is a half a kilometer long and 30m wide
grass field that we proposed for the site of the "Under
one sky" exhibition.
Our own work for the show consisted of a square hole of 12x12x0.5m
in the ground and a steel framed artificial grass covered
platform built on the top of it. The platform was supported
with 9 van springs which made it unstabile when one stepped
on it. The idea was to replace the excisting grass with an
artificial one and make a look-a-like play ground that couldn't
actually be used to any ball game nor other rational purpose.
