The international collaboration project CROSSROADS SAKSALANHARJU has started in August 2009.
The first two artists were exploring how to collaborate in artistic way and to find
inspiration from the environment and each other.

Collaboration is something else than working together in the same work.
In collaboration it goes about the content, the vision, the thoughts of
two different artists. How are they able to find the similarity and the
contrast in each others art work, view and vision. Collaborating means
work with these subjects in the own art production. Maybe it is possible
to create some works together, but that is not the aim of this project.
More important is how artists start and continue a dialogue about their
point of view in visual way.

 |
During the annual Taidekirppujen yö the artists were discussing and were
presenting their work to the public.
 |
 |
|
Even the process is still going on, there are also discussions with
visitors about the vision.
|
The interaction between the artists is intensive and has also
consequenses.
|
 |
A meal with products from Russia, France, Finland, the Netherlands,
Indonesia is symbolic for the open mind and taste of the participants.

In winter 2009-2010 Ilse van den Berk has continued her research of
the rural environment of Haukivuori. The impression
'Finland winter 2009-2010' can be found on Flickr.
