ACHTUNG! Konstens natt performance.

We let the people have a bath in the bathtub, a bath of art and culture. Let the ideas and questions wash over them. Get inspired.












We had a transforming bath. we invited the audience to sacrifice a personal item to the dark wonders of art.






A big thank you to the audience members who sacrificed something personal, items including a bracelet, a pair of shoes and a set of keys.

ACHTUNG! cleaning up the dirt

The culture department in the town of Vasa hired streetartists to make the city niceer.  We choose to understand the wish very literally and therefore cleaned the square. 
It looks very nice now, and it also smells very nice of tallsåpa.

Achtung Fittor arrived in a black BMW, parked on the square, took their buckets, filled them with water from the fountain and tallsåpa, got down on their knees and started the cleaning.










Thanks to Johan Pohjanheimo and Johanna Kull for great pictures!

ACHTUNG! Escaping the city.

ACHTUNG FITTOR are not allowed out of their cage if the temperature exceeds 30 degrees. So instead of preforming in the hot streets, they hit the cool water. But it wasn't all fun and games, we got some serious shit done too.

HOW TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO A TECHNICAL GENIUS

we hope he will have a great day tomorrow at the office, that he finds the fish before the air is gone and that he will be fully aware of that we anyday will accept him as the fourth Fitta, (even if we of course find him very manly).

"Be that no horse at all! Purely a symbol of your scorn, your anger?
Perhaps only to illustrate it carefully for all to see, then to be done with it.
Like an exhale to be presented so that one can inhale so we can discuss the weather."

ACHTUNG: we are off to meet Guerrilla Girls when they visit Helsinki

We think that Guerilla Girls are pretty awesome and what we really love about them is their great humour.
So we pack our black cocktail-dresses, jump into our bathtube and sail away to meet some gorillas.



Guerrila Girls is an anonymous group of radical feminist artists established in New York in 1985. They are working for the end of gender-based discrimination, for  equal access to education, freedom from sexual exploitation and abuse, reproductive rights, and human rights for women everywhere.
They are famous for wearing gorilla masks in public and taking the names of deceased female artists as pseudonyms.

ACHTUNG, the auction

Achtung Fittor made it possible to buy conceptual art for a night, auctioning the 48 answers from the IN BED project, being businesswomen for an evening, proud artists and brave persons. An opening full of energy, excitment and of course great art-bargains. Thank you everybody who took part in the opening, who came to see our performance, and you who bought a piece of art!
The great audience was bidding lively on the answers and in the end of the performance there was only seventeen of them left.

Do you want an answer before they are all gone? Contact us on achtung.fittor@gmail.com !

ACHTUNG STATEMENT

Three artists behind an expensive wind-machine:


We are the goodlooking artists in black evening gowns, we are the brave artists, we are the deep ones, the brilliant ones, the rockstar ones.
We are the naive and sponatnious ones, playing on the edge of art and we are the ones not caring to fit in, but exploring the fun of the artfield and we are the ones creating new fields, the ones painting the new fields black, burning them down, planting them upside down all over again and actually there are no fields but a spaceship.
