QUARTERLY Q/1 – 2019
WE ASKED
Thinking Ahead the Attitude
We invited our women’s network, our friends, clients and corporate contacts to join us in celebrating attitude, impact, power and sustainability on the eve of International Women’s Day.
P8
Around 140 strong women with attitude spent the evening mixing and mingling at D&I’s offices and listening to our thought-provoking guest speakers: Board Professional Arja Talma, Ateneum’s Museum Director Marja Sakari, Executive Director of CMI Tuija Talvitie, CEO of Kämp Collection Hotels Laura Tarkka and Visual Artist Katja Tukiainen, famous for her pink and sassy Attitude Girls works and Paradise installations.
We got acquainted with Katja Tukiainen a couple of years ago when we commissioned one of the first virtual reality (VR) painting installations from her to celebrate our 118th anniversary. This is when the amazing Paradis R (Race to the Stars) was born.
When you enter Katja’s VR-painted fairy-tale land, you are free to walk around and look behind every tree and unicorn. A human voice creates an organic soundtrack for the digital land you enter with your eyes and ears. The vocals for the VR painting were sung by vocal sound artist Heidi Fast, who collaborated with Tukiainen.
This year, we are proud to support Katja Tukiainen’s participation at the fifth edition of the international exhibition PERSONAL STRUCTURES organised by the GAA Foundation in Venice, Italy during the time of the Venice Biennale Arte 2019.
