Expodium (Bart Witte & Nikos Doulos) will be giving 2, one-week, workshops for the Sculpture and Time & Space department of the Helsinki University of the Arts, working towards a series of unrealized proposals for a monument in the city.

The goal of the workshop is to highlight artistic doing not only as a matter of form and materiality, but also as a concept driven process followed by contextualization and research in the city itself.

The workshop is divided into two parts. First part will take place from the 19^th till the 22^nd September.
