The Groundhog Day group exhibition is on at Helsinki’s SIC Gallery, opening December 9 and running to January 21.
Curated by Andreas Nilsson, the show features work by Christian Andersson, Nina Beier, Merike Estna, Ceal Floyer, Luca Frei, Gideonsson/Londré, Kaspars Groševs, Barbora Kleinhamplová + Tereza Stejskalová, Jaakko Pallasvuo and Emily Roysdon.
The installation was a mix of sound, painting, objects, sculpture as well as performance including Gideonsson/Londré together with Mio Lindman’s ‘Activity,’ a “never-ending performance” by Kaspars Groševs and Beier’s ‘The Complete Works’ performed by Leena Gustavson.
Taking its title from the 1993 fantasy comedy Groundhog Day, where the main character played by Bill Murray finds himself in a time loop, the works ‘travel through time and space’ of vague memories, uncertainty and boredom to explore tradition, repetition, pattern, daily routine as well as “new perspectives from the near future.”**
