Anssi Kasitonni: New Adventures for These Guys, 2004. Photo: HAM/Yehia Eweis. New Adventures for These Guys Artist Anssi Kasitonni Helsinki Vocational College, Sturenkatu facility, Nilsiänkatu 6, 00510 Helsinki Indoor Sculpture Limited access: the work is available to view for the users of the premises only. Anssi Kasitonni’s (b. 1978, Vilppula) New Adventures for These Guys, installed in Helsinki Vocational College’s Nilsiänkatu 6 facility, is a miniature world cast in resin. Located in a niche near the stairs in the lobby of Vallila Technical College, the sculpture is set on a steel pedestal and lit up. Depicting a disco for squirrels, the piece has objects and stuffed squirrels embedded in the resin. While containing references to Vallila, it aspires towards something more universal. The artist does not wish to provide a definitive interpretation, leaving even its starting point undisclosed. Kasitonni’s nonconformist art liberates the viewer from meanings associated with time and place. The work was produced under the Percent for Art programme, and it belongs to the collection of the City of Helsinki, managed by HAM Helsinki Art Museum. At map
