1st Pixelache Festival 2021 Announcement: Oodi site-specific.
6-13 June 2021. Max has been selected for PIXELACHE HELSINKI FESTIVAL. At the festival Max will present a project “PA1N MAP”. Pixelache’s 2020-21 Theme: #Burn___ . #Burn___ is the thematic premise for the next two years of Pixelache’s cultural output as an association, it connects psychological, social and environmental collapse, and how we can survive it, developing resilience.
In the open calls, the festival sought contributors and practices that engage with notions of psychological, social and environmental collapse, and how we can survive or recover from these conditions. For example, we were looking for themes of developing resilience, ecological reconstruction and sharing-economies, but we also appreciated less systemic and more personal oriented works. Site-specificity, process and partnership is the feature of this first festival announcement.
The venue Oodi Central Library was proposed and confirmed in February 2020, however it was closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic that Spring for several months. While connections and links need to be woven together in the festival coming together, it may be said that interfaces, metamorphoses, decomposition but also recovery connect the pieces curated on the festival programme. There will be activities and events with Oodi as a hub, as detailed below, with limited presence, and in some cases a virtual or physically-spaced one, it will be a full week of festival programme.

FEEDBACK 4 “PA1N MAP” PROJECT
M A N I C | The Big Anxiety Festival
15 OCT 2019 – 26 OCT 2019 | SYDNEY AUSTRALIA
In October 2019, Max participated in a festival dedicated to mental health.
At the festival, Max presented a video documentation of “PA1N MAP” project.
*Authorship by curator Ivana Jovanovic.
“Happy to provide you with feedback and interactions people had with your work.
A few key things stood out when we did the screening of the work in the lecture theatre on opening night. I had a few people come up to me who spoke about how brave it was that you shared this project and process of recovery from self harm. A lot of people were interested in the Kombucha skin samples we had displayed, and about the process of making them. A few people found the video very difficult to watch because of the nature of the content, and that it is a very personal work. Many people over all who did experience the video talked to me about how it was a very important to show this kind of work, that although it was challenging, they felt like it was a necessary thing to show in an exhibition that talks about mental health.”
