Vantaa Art Museum Artsi- June 5th, 2025
The One-Day Stand No.5 comes to our audiences in collaboration with Vantaa Art Museum Artsi and within the context of the exhibition, Steps in the City. As the exhibition explores the cultural and visual dimensions of urban space, performance art brings these themes into the present moment through live and lived action and direct engagement. Its ephemeral and embodied nature resists fixed meanings, inviting audiences to witness and participate in shifting dynamics of presence, power, and public space. Whether through subtle gestures or bold interventions, performance art creates fleeting yet impactful encounters, transforming the way we experience the public and private spaces and the relationships within it.

Olga Laine & Lisa Holmén
We are a performance collective founded in 2024.
We are interested in highlighting multidisciplinarity by immersing ourselves into the space that we share with materials, sound, movement and light. In our works familiarity often intertwines with unfamiliarity.
Olga Laine graduated from Turku Art Academy's department of Photography in 2024. Lisa Holmén focuses on sculpture and three-dimensional work and graduates from Turku Art Academy in spring 2025.
Jani Petteri Virta
I'm a visual artist, and from the year 2001 onwards I've done over 90 premieres of performances. In my performance art I often dabble on corporeality of my own body/image, while trying to find connections with other bodies are they animal or plant or machines or rocks, living or dead. I am best described as a humorist and a moralist.
