At the opening of the Night of the Arts, performance art was provided by Pekka Kainulainen. He has previously often appeared with a pair of horns on his head, now with a flower cane.
"Good Heavens!" - A dance performance lasting approximately 10 minutes.

Inka Uusitalo, a young maiden in white, was found in the park at her spinning wheel, spinning the spiky thread of life with bleeding fingers.

Sugar, water, glass saucers, reindeer horns, springs - is this a recipe for environmental art? Come and see - free entry!
Environmental art works from Rovaniemi, Pyhäselkä, Jyäskylä, Turku, Lahti and the Helsinki region can be found, hidden or not, in Ala-Malmi Park. Humour, imagination and myths flavour the artists' commentary in defence of nature.
