Taking its starting point from the collection of texts housed by the PUBLICS Library, Pattern Reader explores multiple understandings of “pattern” as a verb – to instruct, arrange, decorate, create rhythm, give texture, make intelligible – and their manifestations within contemporary art practice. The contributions inhabit a space between word, image, and action, giving shape to these various mechanisms of the pattern.
Contributors: Eeva Juuti, Lieven Lahaye, Ville Laurinkoski, Jaakko Pallasvuo, Amanda Ripatti, Samuli Saarinen, Slavs & Tatars’ Pattern Patina, and Jenna Sutela.

Questions of Labour–zine
Lymy, Helsinki, 2021
Editor-in-group
Questions of Labour is a zine publication dealing with contemporary circumstances of labor in the field of arts and culture. It is composed of personal takes on wider economic and social conditions. The questions addressed in the publication touch upon the foundation of contemporary capitalist society from a critical perspective; neoliberalism and self-entrepreneurship, individualism, self-actualization and self-valuation, immaterial labor, the relationship between automation and the future of work as well as sleep and rest in relation to post-industrial society. Questions of Labour is based on a course held at the department of ARTS, Aalto University, in autumn 2020.

Ante Nouveau Magazine was a collectively managed magazine under which we published two issues. We were young creatives, saw brilliant artists around us without a space or platform to show their works, and so the magazine was born.
Whereas Issue 1 was a testing ground, a way to provide a platform for young creatives, Issue 2 was around a discursive theme, BOND, zooming in on the era where our encounters with other people, other species and our environment are in constant change. With Issue 2 we wanted to reflect on communality, contemporaneity and ways to connect.

(Un)seen: In the Dazzle of Infrastructure is a collective curatorial project and exhibition realized by students of Visual Cultures, Curating and Contemporary Art at Aalto University. It features works both by course participants and artists selected through an open call.
Solar fiction is an invitation to consider the imaginative and experiential aspects of solar-fueled societies. It is a departure from the usual environmental, technical, and economic discussions surrounding solar power, focusing instead on asking what cultural, social, as well as psychological manifestations could arise from an infrastructural shift to solar energy. Works exploring different perspectives of solar fiction were collected through an open call. The project showcases works from Petra Aaltola, Sara Blosseville, Outimaija Hakala, Jonna Halli, Heidi Holmström, Eeva, Ala Leresteux, Liisa-Irmelen Liwata, Rasmus Mäkelä, Aarin Purple, Emma Sarpaniemi, Maija Annikki Savolainen and Ferdinand Waas. Solar Fiction is curated by Onerva Heikka, Ronya Hirsma, Miklas Hoggard, Amanda Ripatti and Maikki Siuko.
