Open 1.-30.6.2010 Monday-Friday 9 am - 5 pm, Saturday 11 am - 4 pm. Closed 25.-27.6. Free entrance. Voimala is located opposite Riihimäki Railway Station
Inertia, a variation of car theme installation previously examined in Vanishing Point (Korjaamo Helsinki) and Ghost Drive, (Urban studies, Shanghai, China) is exhibited in Voimala, Riihimäki, as a part of Place/Space -exhibition. Inertia installation is strongly connected with Voimala as a unique and vanishing place. Installation is in connection with themes such as movement and stillness, energy and and its disappearence, growth and death. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion. Jukka Korpihete and Tuomas Laitinen have also composed the music heard in the background.
