Unknown Cargo is an art gallery of the unknown. The gallery reveals the artists only at the end of each exhibition. Konseptimme on ainutlaatuinen.
(9)

Some of the artists are recognized and acclaimed, others are still unknown to the greater public. Unknown Cargo takes contemporary art out of the regular art galleries. It gives the visitor the opportunity to experience art without context or reference, as a pure and raw encounter. In the summer of 2011 the gallery operated in a old cargo container in the Kalasatama district, an old and unused har

bor area in Helsinki, Finland. In year 2013 Unknown Cargo was located at Teurastamo, an old meat packing distric of Helsinki, and in Vallila at Steep service design agency's office. Summer 2014 Unknown Cargo was at Aleksanterinkatu, center of Helsinki. In the fall of 2015 the gallery was located in Stockholm, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark. www.unknowncargo.com

Unknown Cargo paljastaa kulloisenkin taiteilijansa vasta näyttelyn jälkeen sulkijaisissa. Osa näyttelyiden taitelijoista on suurelle yleisölle tuntemattomia, osa taas kansainvälisestikin tunnettuja suomalaisia kuvataiteilijoita. Kesällä 2011 Unknown Cargo kulki nimellä Tuntemattomien kontti. Kontti sijaitsi Helsingin Kalasataman Konttiaukiolla. Kesällä 2013 galleria toimi Helsingin Teurastamolla ja myöhemmin samana vuonna Vallilassa Steep muotoilutoimiston tiloissa. Kesällä 2014 galleria sijaitsi Helsingin Aleksanterinkadulla. Vuonna 2015 galleria sijaitsi Tukholmassa ja Kööpenhaminassa. www.unknowncargo.com

One thing is certain – street art has become an inevitable integral element of contemporary art. Maybe, then, the question before us is not what street art is, but rather why has it come to be, and more importantly – where can it go from here?

Arvoisat taiteilijat ja muut keillä on hieno työhuone/studio/yms.

Olemme kehittelemässä uutta vaihtamiseen perustuvaa taiteilijaresidenssimallia ja sitä varten tarvitsisimme kehittelyvaihetta varten käyttöömme kuvia hienoista työhuoneista/studioista yms. Voisitko napata siis kivan kuvan tilastasi, kännykkäkuva on erittäin hyvä, ja lahjoittaa sen meille käytettäväksi maksimissaan 6kk ajaksi Artist Residency Swapin FB:ssä ja sivuilla. Valitettavasti emme voi maksaa (toistaiseksi) kuvista, m***a tarjoamme aluksi, lämpimän käden lisäksi, TUPLAnäkyvyyden (huhhuh!). 🤣 Kuvat voi lähettää: [email protected] tai tähän.
