Our aim is to create a situation or an action, similar to a happening. The setup for this
activity will be an unknown locality in New York. The approach is inspired by
environmental and social aspects of art and design and wil reflect the values and
behaviors of contemporary Nordic society. We will be moving in the borderline between art
and design with focus on craft-production and especially on the glass material.
Through the research of different occurring phenomenon with Finnish drinking culture we
will create a situation, which offers the opportunity of spontaneous inter-cultural and local
meetings. We believe it has great potential as a fresh and insightful perspective on Nordic
glass interacting with major Metropolis dwellers. We believe it as a carrier of a humanistic
and democratic design influenced by Nordic society. Our aim of a preferred situation is
presence, intimacy and interactivity between participants and cultures.
