Critical with Linda Granfors and Aura Hakuri

Design Museum

part of a series on Critical

About the speaker

Take two painting students, add a course in performance art, and what do you get? In this case, 20+ years of creative collaboration, polished with a generous pinch of play. The performance art duo, Linda Granfors and Aura Hakuri, is already stretching their creative muscles to take on this month’s theme, Critical.

Free of self-criticism: not only the perfect starting point for coming up with ideas, but also an apt description of Linda and Aura’s early years as artists. With time, the two have become more critical of what makes it on stage – and learned to let go of ideas. What may first feel dear may turn out to be dispensable.

Critique and feedback: are they two sides of the same coin, or altogether different in tone? Does receiving critical feedback feel different as part of a duo? How does play as a method of artistic practice weave into all of this?

To quench your curiosity and ask further questions bubbling underneath, join Linda and Aura – along with fellow creative folk – on Friday, 26 August at 8:30 am for CreativeMornings/Helsinki, housed inside the welcoming walls of the Design Museum. Coffee, tea. You, me. It’s all meant to be!
