From February to August 2020, the artistic organisations Interkult, Museum of Impossible Forms, Catalysti Association of Transcultural Artists and Korvat Auki Ensemble, together with the Sibelius Academy and the Laponia Improvisations school, merge forces to produce the Helsinki Experimental Series: A performative/listening experience. Within the main aspects outlining the curatorial process of the series are: Improvisation, music genre and art aesthetics diversity, and re-thinking paradigms of expertise. Each performance of the serie is produced in pairs, namely by Intelkult and other organisation/institution that operates or suggests a specific location in Helsinki. This enables and encourages the audience to also experience different urban landscapes and to decentralise art spaces in the city.
Helsinki Experimental Series is curated by Sergio Castrillón

Museum of Impossible Forms is a cultural space, located in Kontula, Helsinki. It is a contested Space and it represents a contact zone, a space of unlearning, formulating identity constructs, norm-critical consciousness and critical thinking. Impossible Forms are those that erase and facilitate the process of transgressing the boundaries/borders between art, politics, practice, theory, the artist and the spectator. For 2019-2020, Museum of Impossible Forms operates under the curatorial theme of ‘The Atlas of Lost Beliefs (For Insurgents, Citizens and Untitled Bodies)’.
Museum of Impossible Forms is a Safer Space. We follow a Safer Space policy to create a welcoming, inclusive, awesome environment.
Events at the Museum of Impossible Forms are completely free and accessible without prior booking.
