scs: ‘so nordic’ gallery, helsinki

The   project   So   Nordic   (SNO)   is   a   pop-up   gallery,   located   in   Helsinki   city   center,   that   aims   to   establish   an   arena where   nordic   artists,   architects   and   designers   can   exhibit   and   exchange   ideas,   ambitions   and   works.   The   gallery will   be   a   mobile   structure   and   exhibition   space   that   constitutes   a   flexible   set-up   for   art   exhibitions   and   social events.    The    project    is    an    extension    of    the    Black    Box    -    Helsinki    Mobile    Museum    of    Modern    Art    project (www.theblackbox.fi),   a   street   gallery   that   has   established   itself   as   an   important   addition   to   Helsinki's   cultural scene. The purpose of SNO is to stimulate new collaborations across nordic traditions and cultures. The   objective   of   the   project   is   to   create   a   platform   for   debate   amongst   young   nordic   architects   about   what architecture   can   be   and   to   contribute   to   a   more   inquisitive   and   foreward-thinking   architectural   scene   in   the   Nordic countries, as well as to generate public interest in the subject.
