ABOUT THE PROJECT
In the summer of 2014, South into North participated to Pomme de Terre, an experimental art workshop initiated and organised by Malene Ratcliffe. The one-week long workshop brought together four art students with a group two artists, an architect, a designer and a curator in a experimental learning environment, taking place in a sauna in Helsinki. The workshop was supported by HIAP, which provided the living quarters. The unconventional’s school motto was:

Pomme de Terre is not a school yet it is a platform for learning. Pomme de Terre is a fruit describing a vegetable. Here, the rhythm of each media is amplified to a new music. Knowledge is now an extension of us, as the axe once was our extension to cut with

Science / Philosophies / System Materials / Architecture / Design / Art / Politics / Economy / Local / Global / Technology / History / a battle of hierarchies / Food / Space / Scale / Color / Form / Generations / Accumulation / Rhythm / Accident

The core isn’t as valuable as the periphery that defines it.
