IHME 2009-2018 - Art in Public X 10 : 10 Times Art in Public

IHME, the Finnish word for "miracle" or "wonder", describes something strange or weird, something that wakens curiosity. The annual IHME Contemporary Art Festival (2009-2018), produced by Pro Arte Foundation Finland, aims to enhance the status, visibility and accessibility of visual art and to promote art as a resource for democratic society, an important part of human life and everyday existence. Now in its tenth year, the festival consists of commissioned work of art in a public space, as well as lectures, discussions, films, and workshops. This publication documents the ten annual commissions, and features conversations with the artists.
