We are 15 artists from around the world living here for four weeks and creating works for the fourth international OpenART exhibition that will spread all over Örebro city. With pieces that are brought here ready made, there will be works from around 70 artists. The exhibition is open from 15th June to 1st September.

Last saturday was the opening of Between the Bridges, the annual environmental art exhibition in Jämsä in Central Finland. Me, Urška Sršen and Matti Koskinen from Finnish Academy of Fine Arts were invited to make new works for the exhibition in city center.
