The museum part of the second 3 Inch Canvas exhibition has ended. According to the museum, just under 800 people visited the museum during the exhibtion! Compared to the roughly 100 visitors/week we had for the first exhibition, those numbers make us really happy. A big part of this is due to the fact that last Friday was Jyväskylä day with a lot of people all over the city. Great timing (which was no due to us).
It is now time to thank all those good people in Jyväskylä (and a few down “south” and “west”) who helped us create the exhibition.
First and foremost we want to thank all the artists!
You can find the full list of participants here!
Next in line is the Jyväskylä Art Museum: Thank you for having us.
Then, thanks to the Live Herring team.
The exhibition was part of the Live Herring ’11 event that spanned 6 weeks. This gargantuan project was handled by Päivi Hintsanen and Soile Ollikainen. Thanks also to Sirja Moberg who helped us with graphics design and took pictures of the event that also we have used.
The sponsors
Thanks to Microsoft Oy and Jukka Wallasvaara for loaning us the Windows Mobile 7 phones.
A big thanks also to Arena Interactive in Jyväskylä who set up the “Artwork of the day” service. In particular Partik Nygård and Jan Westin from the Arena Interactive Vaasa office who handled all the tech work related to the “Artwork of the day” -service.
(Remember, the “Artwork of the day” -service is still open until April 8, 2011.)
A few very helpful persons that we want to mention
Teemu Tapanila, from the Aalto University School of Science and Technology, for helping with the Windows Phone 7 programming.
Andreas Jakl, from Nokia, for helping with Qt programming for the Nokia devices used in the installation works.
