University of Helsinki, Topelia
Multiple artists: Lantern Park
Adress: Unioninkatu 38
The atmospheric lantern park Lantern Park will come to life this year in the intimate environs of the courtyard of the Topelia Block, located on the grounds of the University of Helsinki. The work will feature over a hundred lanterns: in addition to those familiar from previous years there will be new lanterns prepared by students of art and design. Lighting belonging to the park itself will contribute to the atmosphere.
The Lantern Park will be created in collaboration with Aalto University and the University of the Arts Helsinki. The park will be curated by lighting designer Mia Kivinen.
The work will celebrate the 375th anniversary of the University of Helsinki.
