HELSINKI.- In an exhibition, visitors are
accustomed to watching, listening and observing art alone and with
others. But
what happens when the role of an observer becomes more active? What kind
of an
event is a set-up? Just like contemporary art itself, the 11th

as to the viewer. It’s a Set-up is about the experiential and
participatory
aspect of art, and considers such themes as time and duration, the
presentation
and staging of artwork, performance and human relationships.
