Long Play – Goodwin needs a friend

The piece examines claims about friendship, its necessity, and its transformation over time.

Antero Kemppi and Jere Kolehmainen appear in the work both as designers and performers. They hand over control of the work’s audiovisuality and content to the AI.

The duo has known each other for over twenty years. Kemppi discovered old cassette tapes from the early days of their friendship—recordings in which Kolehmainen and Kemppi improvised music together. The material was compelling both for its musical expression and for the friendship that had led them to spend hundreds of hours practicing side by side.

The performance is in English. The recommended age rating for the work is 14 years.

Tickets €20/12/10, advance sales from Biletti, unsold tickets available at the museum ticket office on the evening of the event.
