Personally this was one of the most memorable things for me during Turku 2011 - European Capital of Culture year. Tobias Rehberger won the Golden Lion as the best artist at The Venice Biennale (Italian: Biennale di Venezia) with his cafeteria installation utilizing the infamous Artek's furniture.
Rehberger continued the collaboration with Artek by creating this wonderful piece of art "Nothing Happens for a Reason" to Logomo (main venue of Turku 2011). This is what Rehberger says on the work:
"I like the idea of creating a visual art project which is about 'not seeing something'. the painting method of battle ships in the first and second world war, the so called dazzle painting, in a way for me perfectly represents this paradox.
The sculpture I created for Turku is based on the same concept as the one in Venice. It applies a completely different pattern to the space, but despite its very different look, it should have the same dazzling effect.'
