Helsinki based curator Yvonne Billmore has written a review of her experience of TICK ACTs, the small two day exhibition of works by Laura Beloff and I, with Antye Greie, shown in SOLU Space, the project space of the Bioart Society here in Helsinki.

Yvonne’s review stages her thinking with the art works as companions to her own forming and shaping as audience and active co-conspirator. No Niin Magazine ‘an independent online monthly magazine at the cusp of art, criticality and love’, has hit the ground with a passion and a fury seem an apt platform for this writing.

Having ones work written about valuable, facilitating all kinds of subsequent audience to the initial showing and presentation, of course it is through a lens - that of the writer, editors and platform which further shape and influence these mediated receptions. Thus one sees at least at least partially how the work enters into dialogues through publishing. TICK ACTs, presented in the spring in Helsinki was particularly poorly attended, perhaps the influence of the pandemic associated caution or maybe the disgust attendant with the subject matter of the punkki - ‘the unloved other’ imbued with dread and fears of the possibility of pathogenic infection that accompany its increasing ubiquity. Therefore I am especially grateful for the efforts of both the author and No Niin in featuring our work.
