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.

Lori Felker
Lori Felker is a film/videomaker, programmer, projectionist, performer and collaborator based in Chicago.  Her work employs multiple formats, styles, and structures, all attempting to make sense of the simultaneous simplicity and chaos of human behavior.   She is enamored with awkwardness, ineloquence, frustration, searching, trying and falling.  Lori is currently faculty and staff at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (MFA 2007) and the Festival Coordinator for the Chicago Underground Film Festival.  Her work has screened at festivals such as the Rotterdam International Film Festival; NYFF: Views from the Avant-Garde; VideoEx, Zurich; Festival du Nouveau Cinema, Montreal; and Curtas Vila do Conde Film Festival, Portugal. www.felkercommalori.com
