  • Sojourn in White - March 2008

    During March 2008, three arts professionals developed a methodology for collaborating that connected the two very different arts practices of Behrouz Rae and Ilse van den Berk.

    Particiapting artists:
    Claire Watson - Australia - installation artist and curator
    Ilse van den Berk - the Netherlands - painter
    Behrouz Rae - Iran - photographer and installation artist
    Place:
    art centre Saksala ArtRadius - Finland - artist-in-residence

    The idea started with discussion, planning, and looking for a common reference point.
    Based on the works the artists were developing and the place where they were living for a period of time the project:
    SOJOURN IN WHITE was created.

    The installation of Behrouz in the attic of the art centre and the painted compositions of Ilse became the initial  ingredients of the collaboration.
    As the curator Claire, directed the artists toward finding a workable framework for connecting their differing practices.

    Discussing with Matti Karttunen - director of the Mikkeli Museum of Contemporary Art and Kirsimaria Törrönen-Ripatti - chairman of the regional Arts Council on March 15 2008.

    Formulate the content of the project and collect the information of the artists to complete the statement.
