Butterfly Night of the arts
Article categories: Museums & Folklore
Night of the Arts offers immersive artworks, performances, and installations.
Night of the Arts—Finland’s beloved celebration of artistic expression in all its wild, untamed brilliance. Part of the global constellation of White Night festivals, this electrifying evening will transform the Wasa Innovation Centre into a living, breathing organism of sound, light, movement, and meaning.
Audiences can expect to be swept into a dreamscape of immersive digital art, embodied performance, interactive storytelling, and unexpected encounters. The Butterfly exhibition will unfurl its wings, and invitie the public to explore the glo-cal reverberations of data, energy, and industry through art that shimmers, provokes, and inspires.
Open until 10:00pm Butterfly will feature a durational musical performance by Domenico de Clario, whose work invites visitors to slow down and listen deeply. A special installation by this year’s resident artists (hosted by Platform), the collective Lava Cloud—featuring Pablo Kobayashi (Mexico) and Lucia Aumann (Argentina) will further illuminate the evening. Their large-scale, glowing soft sculptures will fill the courtyard of the Wasa Innovation Centre. It is art that will challenge perceptions of material and form, raising deeper questions about the systems and structures that underpin our built environments.
