This year a cross border transcultural collective Third Space celebrates its 6th anniversary by releasing Six Years in the Third Space; an online publication around the complex theme of COLLABORATION. The publication is commissioned by Third Space reflecting on the past, the present, and the future of artistic projects/collectives such as itself. The publication, constellated together with our collaborators, features written, visual and auditory contributions. Together we explore questions on collaboration and collective work through concepts such as time/space, community, failure, lines / borders, theory / action, encounter / dis-encounter, and host / guest.

The event at PUBLICS will be hybrid (online and physical). We will start with an online conversation (Zoom webinar) about the publication with our collaborators (the ones who are preset in the event and the ones who attend it online). After that we will have conversations with people present in the event and celebrate with a sound performance by Ana Gutieszca and refreshments.

Collaborators who contributed to the publication:

Yvonne Billimore I Adrián Balseca I Marten Esko (EKKM) I Antye Greie-Ripatti I Minna Hint & Killu Sukmit (Kraam Art Space) I Feminist Culture House I Ali Akbar Mehta (Museum of Impossible Forms) I Iida Nissinen, Tuisku Lehto, Laura Rämö & Oona Heinänen (QUERQ community) I Abdullah Qureshi and Danai Anagnostou I Tina Madsen I Vidha Saumya I Diana Soria Hernández I Milja-Maaria Terho & Juulia Terho I Marko Timlin

This has been possible with support of many people and with kind support of PUBLICS and Taiteen Edistämiskeskus Taike.

Please note this event has limited availability, pre-registration is essential. The priority is given to people who register first and we will have a waiting list. You can register here. Because of the current situation of Covid-19, we strongly encourage guests to wear masks and keep safe distance to others. Masks will be also available at PUBLICS.
