A two-week takeover of a shipping container in Lasipalatsinaukio, Helsinki, from the 28th of May until the 10th of June 2012. Kontaining is produced by Ptarmigan ry in association with the Arts Council of Uusimaa. Kontaining will host projects by artists that consider the specific site of the container in Kamppi, in the categories of installation, performance and/ or participatory activities. The project is process-oriented, supports experimentation and encourages interactive and site-specific artwork and cross-media exchange.

The Ptarmigan team developing Kontaining is: Amal Laala, James Andean, Marek Pluciennik and Sari Kivinen.
