PROJECT  Visual identity for PISTE, an exhibition by Circle at the Pori Art Museum main hall. The exhibition and its elements were handbuilt by Circle, and the visual identity explores the making-of process behind the exhibition. Spreading across the city of Pori, the posters and the advertisements present snapshots of different stages of the exhibition production, from the wood frame workshop to the test-building of the pentakis dodecahedron in the backyard. As a reference to the exhibition name (piste = dot), the imagery is presented through a uniform raster dot effect.
        PISTE is a sculpture & audio installation created by Circle, a Pori based experimental music group that stretches the boundaries between art forms. PISTE presents Circle’s artistic ethos in a spatial exhibition environment. The main feature in the exhibition space is a large sculpture taking the geometric form of a pentakis dodecahedron. Made of sheet metal and a frame, it resembles the aesthetics of heavy metal music, a notion that is amplified by the seven box-like shapes arranged to ritualistically circle the center sculpture.
