At the opening of the Night of the Arts, performance art was provided by Pekka Kainulainen. He has previously often appeared with a pair of horns on his head, now with a flower cane.
"Good Heavens!" - A dance performance lasting approximately 10 minutes.



Inka Uusitalo, a young maiden in white, was found in the park at her spinning wheel, spinning the spiky thread of life with bleeding fingers.

 Is it Näkki (The Water Spirit) or medusa lurking in the pool?!!


Sugar, water, glass saucers, reindeer horns, springs - is this a recipe for environmental art? Come and see - free entry!
Environmental art works from Rovaniemi, Pyhäselkä, Jyäskylä, Turku, Lahti and the Helsinki region can be found, hidden or not, in Ala-Malmi Park. Humour, imagination and myths flavour the artists' commentary in defence of nature.
