The theme of the 125% exhibition is the artists’ relationships to their residence or work place, Fiskars. The participating artists have contemplated during their work processes on the significance of their work and the location in Ruukki as well as searched for meaningful places for themselves. For example, the corner of the house, the river, the park bench and the cover of the well are places where the pieces have been born.
The exhibition has sought to find interesting and new places for meetings between art and the environment and aims to create a genuine experience of participation, the real Ruukki and the people behind Ruukki, for example the people behind the Culture of Eden in Finland – Award to the exhibition visitors.
