++++ ROR (Revolutions on Request) from Helsinki, Finland.

++++ An artists’ group founded in 1998, operating by producing art, exhibitions and other related projects, such as touring exhibitions: Terror 2000 (2000) and Utopia (2001). 4 members, Klaus Nyqvist, Jiri Geller, Karoliina Taipale and Panu Puolakka. We do everything by ourselves, from single art works to exhibition architecture and graphic materials. We curate our exhibitions and invite other artists who can ‘ror’. Style is realism, ‘job well done’ is self-evident. ROR works live in symbiosis, contributing, influencing and reinforcing each other. They are high quality handicraft, technical and electric as well as traditional forms of art, paintings and sculptures. The exhibitions are playful and anarchistic, but still include serious messages, comments and visions.
