Nastja Säde Rönkkö‘s performance project and exhibition sometimes forever was on at Moscow’s Solyanka VPA, which ran from November 10 to December 9, 2016.
Curated by Margarita Osepyan and funded in collaboration with Frame Contemporary Art Finland and Embassy of Finland, the participatory performance held at the Russian capital’s space saw the Helsinki-based artist inviting participants to exchange a private memory for a tattoo. They could either be meaningful one wanted to keep via a permanent ‘stick-and-poke’ tattoo, administered by Säde Rönkkö herself, or an unwanted one that would fade over time with a temporary decal.
“Together we will decide a word or an image that will symbolize your memory and stay with you forever.”**
