Project description:
Entrotopia 2.0 was the second phase of an international art exchange project initiated by Publikum.sk (Slovakia), the Association of Helsinki Artists (HTS), and curators Ville Laaksonen and Dominika Chrzanová.

The project aimed to connect Finnish and Slovak contemporary art through collaborative exhibitions and artistic dialogue. It explored how cultural contexts, materials, and artistic languages can converge to form shared imaginaries.

The term “Entrotopia” combines utopia, dystopia, and entropy — evoking a state of transformation where order and disorder, aspiration and collapse, coexist. Each participating artist approached this unstable condition from a personal perspective, using diverse materials and methodologies to construct a collective vision of shifting realities.

Entrotopia reflects a broader inquiry into interconnectedness — between nations, artistic practices, and ways of perceiving the world.
