X MARKS THE SPOT – Raivoryhmä

In Raivoryhmä’s X Marks the Spot exhibition, X marks a place. It is used to reject, cross out, and deny.
X signifies a target, a mark: who is hit and who is not. X is anonymous, an unknown variable.
In the X Marks the Spot exhibition at Poriginal Gallery, Raivoryhmä presents video works and installations. The exhibition is the collective’s interpretation of targets, being a target, and the selection of targets.

Raivoryhmä is an art collective that draws from rage, where rage is the starting point, not the outcome. We take our rage very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We should be approached with humor, as we also do so ourselves. We interpret the themes of rage and summarize its various forms. The works may not speak in the language of rage, but the feeling is always present, and rage takes on different shapes in different situations. The feeling cannot be erased, but it can be shaped.
