“Each individually, and yet together.”

Any other sentence than these words, said by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark at the inauguration of the Nordic Embassies in Berlin in autumn 1999, couldn´t formulate better the idea of the exhibition "Out of Context". The idea of togetherness even if being in a separate place seems to be somewhat a basic Nordic experience. This explains why the exhibition "Out of Context" can be part of the 10 year anniversary of Felleshus ("The house of all" of five Nordic embassies) and happen outside of it in an other venue, in the gallery space of General Public. When being "out of context", new contexts are created.

The screening event and exhibition "Out of Context” brings together wide variety of audiovisual works made by FixC members: Rita Jokiranta, Kari Yli-Annala, Seppo Renvall, Maria Duncker, Juha van Ingen and Erkka Nissinen + guests from Berlin: Laura Horelli, Gun Holmström and Mia Mäkelä a.k.a Solu.

General Public is an independent project space run by a group of cultural workers (visual artists, curators, among others) based in Berlin. General Public was founded in Fall 2005 and since produced a number of exhibitions, artist presentations, discussions, film screenings, and performances. Additional to its own program General Public occasionally serves as a host for related external activities and projects.

Out of Context is supported by:
the Finnish Embassy Berlin and AVEK ry
