Ptarmigan is no longer operating in Helsinki.

Ptarmigan existed as a project space in Vallila from 2009-2011 and a mobile curatorial/creative platform until 2014. We no longer exist as an organised collective, but this website will continue to serve as an archive of the activities produced as/at Ptarmigan during these years.

Hardcore Metaphor (Denmark)
perjantai 12. elokuuta 2011 - maanantai 26. syyskuuta 2011

For the Ptarmigan residency programme, the collaborative project Hardcore Metaphor (Denmark) will open a pop-up Artist's Café in Tallinn's Pelgulinn neighbourhood.  Café Hardcore Metaphor will be open to the public during the weekends, serving coffee, cake and a special surprise of the day.  The café will host a small library of reference books and self-published artist magazines and serve as a platform for a variety of events, such as The London Urban Gothic Lecture and The Three Day Puzzle Lock-In.
