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.

In Carpe Minuta Prima, Brian Lobel takes to the street and offers stranger's 1€ for 1 minute of their life, in a work that is an interactive, humourous and meditative reflection on how people spend their time. In this workshop, Lobel will explore methods for interactive/interventionist perform...
