Saturday 27, 11h- 16h, G18 Cultural Center (yrjonkatu 18) by Pekko Koskinen – Reality Research Center/Todellisuuden Tutkimuskeskus

.
Through practical experiments, we’ll explore the following questions:

Can we conceive a more fertile relationship with the urban space?
What do we obey when we follow the rules of the city?
Could these rules become a medium of creation (like a canvas is for a painter, or a page for a poet)?

This year, Reality Research Center is developing two pieces concerned with urban space: Urbania and Belief. This workshop offers some of the fruits of this development, observing our relationship with the urban environment from a multitude of viewpoints.
