Taiteilijan ohella myös  paikallinen yhteisö kutsuttiin tuhoamaan veistokset, jolloin siemenet  vapautuvat ympäristöön kaikkien iloksi. Presnal on ollut mukana  teoksillaan Provinssissa sekä Taidehallin performanssiklubilla.  Veistokset ovat mallinnettu kotoperäisten siementen mukaan, ja niissä on  käytetty biokomposiittia, orgaanista materiaalia, joka on hankittu  paikallisen yhteisön keräämänä. Itikanmäen naapurusto on kerännyt  munankuoria ja kahvipurua taiteilijalle koko heinäkuun ajan. Lisäksi  paikalliset leipomot ovat osallistuneet keräykseen. Kulttuuripalveluiden  henkilökunta on myös kerännyt koko kesän munankuoria. Kiitos kaikille  osallistuneille ja tervetuloa katsomaan näyttelyä.</p>\n<p>&lt;h3&gt;Rikkomisseremonia&lt;/h3&gt;</p>\n<p>to 20.8. klo 17.30</p>\n<p>Projekti ammentaa inspiraatiota useista juhlista, joihin liittyy  rikkomista, murtamista tai murskaamista. Meksikolaiset piñatat ja niiden  rikkominen on yksi tunnetuimmista rikkomista sisältävistä  juhlarituaaleista. Muita tuhoamista tai murskaamista liittyviä  juhlatradioita ovat kreikkalaisortodoksiset botides, kiinalainen  kansanperinne ”kevään karjan ruoskiminen” (dǎ chūnniú) sekä  pohjoiseurooppalaiset juhannusperinteet, kuten keskikesän kerätyt kukat,  joiden uskotaan auttavan unelmoimaan tulevasta rakkaudesta. Monet  näistä tapahtumista juhlistavat uudistumista, satoa ja luonnon rytmejä.</p>\n<p><em>Meadow Pods</em> -veistokset rikotaan ulkona yhteisesti lyömällä  niitä kepillä, jolloin niittysiemenet tippuvat maahan. Tämä teko on  jatkona juhlaperinteille: ne kantavat toivoa paremmasta ilmastosta, kun  siemenet juurtuvat osaksi paikallista ympäristöä.</p>\n","sv":"","en":"&lt;h3&gt;Pop-up Exhibition&lt;/h3&gt;\n<p>Thursday 20th of August at 11am to 7pm, workshop space Itikka, free entry</p>\n<blockquote><em>Who gets to celebrate, how do we celebrate, and what  are the implications of our festivities?

Along with the artist, the local community was also  invited to destroy the sculptures, releasing the seeds into the  environment for everyone to enjoy. Presnal has presented her work at  Provinssi and at Taidehalli’s performance club. The sculptures are  modeled after native seeds and are made of biocomposite, an organic  material collected by the local community. The Itikanmäki neighborhood  has been collecting eggshells and coffee grounds for the artist  throughout the month of July. Local bakeries have also participated in  the collection effort. Staff from the department of Cultural Services  have been collecting eggshells all summer as well. Thank you to everyone  who participated, and welcome to view the exhibition!</p>\n<p></p>\n&lt;h3&gt;Breaking Seremony&lt;/h3&gt;\n<p>to 20.8. at 5.30 pm</p>\n<p>The project has been influenced by multiple celebrations that involve  breaking, cracking, or smashing. Especially by Mexican piñatas, but  similarly, the Greek Orthodox Botides, the Chinese folk ritual “whipping  the spring cattle” (dǎ chūnniú), and the foraged flowers of midsummer,  which are believed to aid in dreaming of future love. Many celebrate  renewal, harvests, growth, and ecological rhythms.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The Meadow Pods sculptures will be broken by participants hitting  them with sticks, causing the meadow seeds to fall to the ground. This  act continues a festive tradition: it carries the hope for a better  climate as the seeds take root in the local environment.</p>\n"},"provider_contact_info":null,"info_url":null,"location_extra_info":{"fi":"Pedatila Itikka, 2 krs","en":"Workshop space Itikka, 2nd floor"},"short_description":{"fi":"Tule tutustumaan kesäkuvataiteilijan yhden päivän pop-up näyttelyyn Seinäjoen taidehallille","sv":"","en":"Come check out the summer artist’s one-day pop-up exhibition at the Kunsthalle Seinäjoki."},"name":{"fi":"Gabriella Presnal: Meadow Pods","sv":"","en":"Gabriella Presnal: Meadow Pods"},"provider":{"fi":"Seinäjoen taidehalli","sv":"","en":"Kunsthalle Seinäjoki"},"@id":"http://epkalenteri.linkedevents.fi/v1/event/eptapahtumat:agp4xh2ara/?format=json","@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Event/LinkedEvent"}
