Lady Cthulhu by Minja

Demonomania is bat babies in a basket, an alcohol demon who seduces you to drinking, a mummy who can't swim, altar cabinets and other oddities. These papier maché sculptures and mixed media installations are inspired by monsters, mysticism and the occult. 

The exhibition is  held August 11th to August 31st at the gallery Kingi Kongi. The address is Vaasankatu 15, Helsinki. Opening hours of the gallery are Wed - Sun 12am - 6pm.

Now they are ready - "We Are Not Alone"

Today was the opening of The Papertail´s art installation called "We are not alone" at Annanpuisto, Turku. We didn´t know that there were some children´s event in the park at the very same time. It was quite exciting to watch what was going to happen. Most of the people got very happy when realizing what was hidden in the park. Some kids just wanted to ride the animals, kick them and others gave the animals we made some hugs. Yes. It was pretty exciting. If you are in Turku this week you can go to the Annanpuisto and check the animals ´til next Saturday!

Yes, we are the Papertails.

Happy times with my squirrel.

Some random dog went really crazy after seeing the badger.

Minja´s jackdaws. And that´s not all of them!

"Suuuuuuun!!!" shouts the Minja´s mole or "kontiainen". I don´t know the real name in English.

Minja is figuring out how to attach her badger in to the ground.

Meanwhile I´m having a staring contest with Minja´s sparrowhawk.

Olohuone 306,4 km² Urban Art Festival in Turku June 6th – 9th 2012

Hooray! It is time to get ready for a new art project. Me and Minja Tuomisalo are going to make an art installation of animals made out of papier maché. The project "We are not alone" is part of the Olohuone 306,4 km² urban art festival in Turku June 6th – 9th 2012. I really hope that no one is going to steal or destroy our animals, that are going to be placed in a park. I`ll post more pictures of finished animals after opening the exhibition.
