Renowned Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa will give a talk titled Hitchchock’s Hidden Paintings at Gallery Forum Box. Alfred Hitchcock hid works of art in his films even more thoroughly than his well-known cameos. Although the director didn’t directly talk about it, he was constantly inspired by visual artists: “I would compare myself to an abstract painter” – after all, he was originally a graphic artist.
The Forum Box space used to be a cold storage room until the artists of the cooperative renovated it for gallery use in 1998–99. The renovation was designed by Juhani Pallasmaa.
The event is part of Forum Box’s 25th anniversary celebration program.
