Open Flower
eyewitness of the future
Welcome to Open Flower,
a microcosm between fantasy and reality.
Here follows a handful of works, labeled either CREATIONS (comissions) or UTOPIAS (own).
&
CREATION
As one part of
a larger renewal work,
name/symbol &.
& crystallises
the theatre's
radical strategy
in one character
that comes over universally.
Human Salon
UTOPIA
Photographic and literary portraits
that focus on the beauty of each soul.
Human Salon was created w/ (photographer)
Elina Simonen: together we want to share
the gift of presence & feeling of being seen.
Human Salon has already traveled to Venice,
making microportraits during
Biennale Arte 2024 pre-opening.
"The most surprising thing in life
is that there is no timeline.
You can do everything
in your own time.”
HAM
CREATION
As part of relaunch, name HAM. The renaissance work of the Helsinki Art Museum redefined the contemporary museum experience in Finland. Since then the ethos has been followed by many. The key ingredient was museum lead's courage to invite a
hand picked group of independent thinkers to work side by side with.
Wolf
UTOPIA
Wolf is a festival that celebrates the fantastic fact that NEW can only happen when we are not ready. Wolf creates a free, relaxed, intimate space for artists and thinkers to try out new stuff in front of a warm audience. Wolf stage has presented bold & raw individuals from mayors to journalists to poets.
Human magnet
UTOPIA
My human (Mun ihminen) got to the finals of The Builders of the Century challenge competition by The Association of Finnish Foundations. My human wanted to introduce a new citizen right where each teen could choose their "own" adult - a soulmate stranger to break birth bubbles and create opportunities that are beyond obvious. The core of this utopia is the idea of human magnet: NEW intelligence that inevitably brings together people whose energies feed each other.
OF gallery of
new thinking
UTOPIA
Quarter-century of development work
has taught that creation of new,
radical performances or utopias
is fragile work where ensemble
and milieu are pivotal.
OF gallery is a sanctuary for the new.
It is free of the aura of
the meeting room.
Art stimulates NEW thinking.
Welcome to Helsinki, Finland.
THE ART EFFECT
In recent years I've been working intensely with arts and culture. Since my business studies (quarter-century ago) I've been convinced that artistic thinking has a crucial role in the future progress of societies and the humanity. Based on my experince and insight, I'm ready to bring artistic perspective to businesses and other organisations, to help you flourish in the future. My superpower is perspective, wild thinking and seeing possibilities. Let me help you: active future makers are often left alone - let's join forces! OF is best enjoyed free ; ).
"Out of this world" - fragments of feedback for OF/AM
"Your thinking is art."
"You are a person of possibility."
"You have brought us to a whole new level."
"How many chills can one feel in a minute?!"
"Gifted in both organising and stimulating thinking."
"Inspiring, talented, encouraging."
"Anna's thinking is unique - she brings new perspectives."
"You're an exceptionally deep and sensitive listener."
"Job well done. You are gifted in your work and have always devoted yourself to the purpose. That's why I buy your thinking repeatedly."
"I recommend you whenever I can."
"We could not have done this (radical strategy) without you."
"Anna is a human curator - her great gift is bringing people together and creating exceptional concepts."
"Good stuff!"
””Anna is one of the most passionate people I've met during my career. When she believes in something she'll do her everything to make it happen, putting "All-in" lending you her emotions, yet keeping everything strictly professional. Anna has an obvious talent to encourage and to push. She listens to you and understands immediately the core of your message, whatever it may be. This is rare, at least in the reality I live in. All that combined with her creativity and will to make cool things awesome and then to make those awesome things happen – well, you just happen to have a very special and unique package. She deserves to work with intelligent people, who do interesting things – as she has chosen. You shouldn't be surprised when you notice later on that she was the one sparring you and your ideas to be crystal clear. Listen to her.”
