Notes on Wind<\/i><\/b> is based on the exchange of letters between choreographer and visual artist Anne Naukkarinen<\/b> and visual artist Anatole Chartier<\/b> from May to June 2025. Notes on Wind<\/i> is a poetic greeting between two artists living in different countries who have never met each other. Artists who are unknown to each other write about their shared interest \u2013 the wind.<\/p>\n

The correspondence between the Finnish and French artists was conducted in two different languages, each writing in their own native language. Institut finlandais acted as interpreter for the translations of the poetic messages. The final text is published as a poster designed by graphic designer Lia Pradal <\/b>(Editions Pa\u00efen) and on the Institut finlandais website in Finnish, French and English.<\/p>\n

The concept of Notes on Wind <\/i>stems from Naukkarinen\u2019s work A Book of Dances<\/i>, a collection of choreographies written by seven different artists based in Finland and Sweden, published by Moving in November and TUA (Theatre\u2019s New Base Library). The book explores language as a writing-based approach to choreographic practice. It brings attention to the contradictions, translations, and intimate relationships between dance and language.<\/p>\n

Notes on Wind<\/i> is an artistic project that proposes an alternative to international artist mobility and a responsible way to network in the field of visual art and choreography.<\/p>\n

\nit disturbs my path and shakes my confidence.<\/em><\/p>\n

right now I feel tired, floating.
\nso I entrust my path to the old friend,
\nwho changes stories.

\nmy eyelashes fluttering.<\/em><\/p>\n

today the wind is cold.

sat by the window and opened it

you can breathe? And even whistle!

Anne Naukkarinen<\/b><\/a> (b. 1987) is a Helsinki-based choreographer and visual artist working at the intersections of performance art, choreography, and visual arts. In her artworks, she explores intimate and complex human experiences\u2014emotions, affects, sensations, and thoughts in motion, always in relation to specific situations and environments. Her methods draw from dance and somatic practices, and she is particularly interested in collecting and accumulating material through note-making, correspondence, and recording. Her primary mediums are live performances, publications, and installations.<\/p>\n

Naukkarinen has created artworks for dance, performance, and visual arts contexts, as well as for site-specific locations. Her recent works have been presented at Moving in November, Moderna Dansteatern \u2013 MDT, Mad House Helsinki, Titanik Gallery, SIC Gallery, Kunsthalle Helsinki, and Contemporary Art Space Kutomo. Naukkarinen is currently creating a new site-responsive\u00a0 performance Jousikvartetto\/ String Quartet curated by Riikka Thitz and i dolci.<\/p>\n

She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki (2020), and a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Dance from the Theatre Academy, Helsinki (2015). She also studied at the Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin (HZT) in 2014.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anatole Chartier<\/b><\/a> is a visual artist whose practice explores the interactions between the body, natural elements, and post-technological narratives. Through installations, performances, and speculative objects he calls \u201ctransducers,\u201d he questions our relationship to extra-human forces, such as wind or sand, and imagines scenarios for adapting to a changing world. A 2023 graduate of the EESI in Poitiers, he regularly collaborates with critics and researchers to deepen the theoretical dimensions of his work. His works, often participatory, encourage collective listening and reflection on resilient and alternative ways of life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The project is part of the joint pARTir \u2013 Creating a Cultural Roadmap Towards Responsible International Mobility project by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes and ten Finnish institutes around the world, made possible by the European Union\u2019s NextGenerationEU program.<\/em><\/p>\n
