Part 2: Helsinki-Malmö performance , 8-10 March 2002

Jan-Erik Andersson has created a culinary, pleasure-link between Galleri21 in Malmö (Sweden) and the Lume gallery in Helsinki (Finland).

The audience in Helsinki could take snapshots of themselves through a computer interface and send the picture to Malmö to be printed by a food colour printer on a white chocolate heart and eaten! Or the other way around. The eating session in the other city could be followed on a video screen through a real time video connection. To enlarge the communicative experience Andersson created two identical ceremony tables for the project. They also function as sculptures with exchangeable prints for table surface and a built in soundscape by sound artist Shawn Decker from Chicago Art Institute.

The first version of the WWCH project connected Lasipalatsi in Helsinki with Brussels as a part of the CONTinENT exhibition in 2000. This is the second WWCH project and hopefully there are more to come! The Malmö-Helsinki chocolate printing sessions took place from Friday 8 of March to Sunday 10 of March 2002. On this site you can see who took part in the sessions and look at some pictures taken during then performance. see pictures from Malmö performance see Malmö Participants see Helsinki Participants Part 1: Brussels-Helsinki performance archives Other art projects by Jan-Erik Andersson
