detox access spaces
31 August–29 November 2026

 

Research presentation accompanying the exhibition untame flow stay release.

Research, thoughts, texts, images, objects, sketches for sensuous, embodied, and inclusive environments for art.

Within the exhibition untame flow stay release, the research presentation detox access spaces is presented on several tables throughout the exhibition space. It is a critical, associative, humorous, and thought-provoking engagement with contemporary exhibition practices. It questions sterile spaces oriented towards distance and visual perception, and advocates for sensuous, embodied, and inclusive exhibition environments. At its core are spaces that allow for imperfection and materiality, dismantle barriers and exclusion, and instead foster comfort, accessibility, and collective action. To this end, the presentation brings together perspectives from numerous artists, curators, architects, and thinkers who are exploring new forms of non-toxic exhibition design and inclusive experiences of art.

The presentation includes a sculpture by Jenni-Juulia Wallinheimo-Heimonen, drawings and texts by Zofia Nierodzińska, a video by Daniel Kotowski, a video by Vappu Jalonen & Elis Hannikainen, a poster by Jos Boys, a tactile comic by Hatiye Garip, an audio work by Pia Lindman, as well as texts, fragments, ideas, and research by Ren Loren Britton, Amanda Cachia, Lichen Hamraie, Alison Kafer, Lisa Klosterkötter, Isa Hukka, Finnegan Shannon, and others.
