Anders Bergman
Who and why R U an artist? My name is Anders Bergman and I am an artist of free will.
What is ”Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? This is the name of the Porvoo triennial. What the meaning is referring to I don’t know for sure. Things are anything between nothing and something as something out of nothing.
Common has to do with belonging to a community. Space is divided into private and public and it is disputed philosophically as well as geographically and politically. Artistically I believe these three elements are more or less constantly present in the art and in the creating process, even as a painter in solitude, you belong to the community of painters. Inside the works the space and things are the key players together with time and colors as
experienced through light.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? My personal goal is to present new works that have been created during the last year and in this way contribute to the common. I believe the Porvoo triennial will be a very interesting event for the visitors as well as for the participating artists.

Ida Koitila
Who and why R U an artist? I’m a Finnish artist who grew up in the southwest parts of Sweden. After finishing my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki 2011, I spent almost a decade in Berlin, eventually returning to Finland, fnding a new setting for my work in Hanko. Already at an early age I occupied myself with the creation of small sculptures. Through these exercises I learned to process the things happening around me. This method turned into a way of life, and though I had the possibility to choose differently later on, I decided to continue with the mental workout that the life as an artist offered me.
What is ”Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? When I create an artwork I always try to put the viewer in relation to a space. It can be by simply working with the physical elements in the exhibition room, or by trying to create more of a mental atmosphere, brought to life by the combination of various objects and imagery.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? For this particular installation I thought about space in a broader context, as the overall habitat that we all share. The works are fairly straight forward, pending between their domestic aesthetics and intrusive claims that our civilization are going up in fames. The installation depicts a forward motion that are realized through the transformation of the objects brought in to the gallery.

Richie Budd
Who and why R U an artist? Richie Budd, living and art studio in Texas, USA. I am an artist because that’s what I’ve chosen to do for now.
What is ”Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? Space is a common thing because it is everywhere and we use it every day to travel, to build things, and to communicate. The universe is vast and there is an enormous amount of empty space and it is something that we all share.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? WALL MOLE™ shares concepts of the East and the West. Inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s sixteen-inch beauty mark on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, WALL MOLE fuses Marilyn Monroe’s iconic facial dot, the aesthetic of Donald Judd’s internationally renowned minimalist artworks, and auspicious concepts of Feng Shui into a purposeful interior architectural beauty mark.
WALL MOLE, like the sixteenth President of the United States, is an emancipator and preserver of wholeness in unions. WALL MOLE weakens the projected negative energy associated with sharp ninety-degree corners found in most homes and offices. In Feng Shui these corners are known as Sha Chi or poison arrows. They prohibit the flow of positive chi and can weaken energy and lessen good health and well-being. When WALL MOLE is placed at these locations, it neutralizes the negative and causes a positive energy to flow more smoothly through a room. Painted black, WALL MOLE is the color of money and holds the energy of power and protection. This combination of direct ties to demigods, good flowing energy, and financial potency causes good fortune to soon follow, buy now.
The creator of WALL MOLE is a direct bloodline descendant of Abraham Lincoln. ©

Who and why R U an artist? Jag har alltid älskat att lyssna på berättelser. Både stora och små. Berättelserna är de centrala för mig i mitt konstnärsskap. Jag gick bara nio år i grundskola, och jag struntade i skolarbetet nästan helt och hållet de tre sista åren. Jag satt ofta och ritade och drömde mig bort.
Det visuella bildspråket kändes tidigt som hemma. Efter att ha arbetat i fem år i industrin, började jag studera konst 21 år gammal. Efter sju års studier började min konstnärsbana. Som konstnär är berättandet en röd tråd. För mig är uttrycket i bilden viktigare än att jag framstår som en skicklig målare. Som konstnär är jag intresserad av min väg, människors väg och samhällets väg.
What is ”Space is a Common Thing” 4 U? För mig är allt utrymme, stort som smått, inne i huvudet och utanför mig själv, platser där jag försöker navigera.
What about your work/visions in Porvoo Triennial 2024? Min önskan är att jag ska ta mig till Borgå och utställningen ( eftersom jag inte gillar att resa )
