Plankko

The cooperative Plankko was founded at the end of last year. The members are mostly artists - the one I talked with most before deciding to join the cooperative was Kirsi Neuvonen. After all the paper works and official background work and such, Plankko is now taking its first steps in the real world, first by organizing and producing exhibitions and later with more innovative approach to art events. Our main aim is to have an own art gallery in Helsinki, one day.

Höyrygalleria

Hoyrygalleria ("Steam Gallery") is the new soon to be opened gallery, which is owned by Emalipuu / Enamelwood owners Ulla Huttunen and Arto Salminen. The gallery will open to the harbour of Korpilahti, Jyväskylä (Finland), in the beginning of June, 2011. The name of the gallery comes from the old steam saw building where the gallery now takes place.

The gallery website is very simple and is based on the logo graphics designed for Hoyrygalleria by Tiina Leino. As any CMS wouldn't have worked and Ulla would like to update the new herself, I used very basic site plan and then implemented some rss feed includes from Höyrygalleria's blog, so that the news always show on the first page. There is also Admarket's flickrSLiDR used in the front page: it makes the photo gallery automaticly of the images uploaded to Flickr.

This is propably only the temporary page - as the gallery starts running and all the smaller things are cleared, we'll propably rock the site - totally!
