Otto Karvonen: Here Will Open (2005)
Inkjet print on paperGallery Alkovi, Helsinki April 2005
"A text in the window indicating a fictious future function for the space. The text is changed weekly during a period of one month. The first text is in english “HERE WILL OPEN: HELSINKI CHRISTIAN-HINDU DAY-CARE CENTER” and it relates to a recent public debate about the protection of christian values agains alien influences. The debate started when the Finnish minister of culture was visiting Mother Amma in India with her family, thus causing terrible offence to the christian conservative ruling class of Finland. The work generated lots of public reactions; people either wanted to question the possibility of such an institution or wanted to sign their children in the day-care center."
