This post is especially for @celestal and @rrusina. :)
There's a building in Kerava, Finland that just sits there and waits for demolition. Nothing fancy about it. You can find buildings, houses and different structures like that lots from all over the world. But what makes this building a little bit different is that it's no longer just wasted space. No longer only waiting for it's doom forgotten and alone. It's been given to artists so that they can do what they do best. Art. The whole building. Six storeys. Mostly graffiti but not only graffiti.

It's open 'til the end of August and I recommend that if you are in Finland and have not already been there, you should go. And I also recommend that you should go there before three in the afternoon because it might still be really popular so that even though the building closes at five, they do not take more people to the line after three. Because someone else than you might be there too.
Here's their site: http://www.purkutaide.com. Unfortunatly it's only in Finnish.
Also the bear in this post was photographed in the demolition house.

Anyway, I was there in the beginning of July and of course eagerly photographed as much of everything I saw.
Enjoy!

Wow, great art! Just checked that the house is open until end of August, so we are definitely going to visit there, I'm looking forward it. :)
There should be new stuff too because when I was there some of the doors were closed and there was just a sign that said that the room isn't ready yet. Thinking I perhaps should visit there again.
Just a warning though: after going there it's really hard to resist taking interior decoration ideas from there to your own home. 😁
It suddenly makes sense why @tarazkp calls it Funland! 😉😆
That's absolutely brilliant.
I think Funland is the official name. :) If it isn't it should be.
Now, that's an exhibition I would love to see! So many wonderful and cool Graffiti!!! Amazing!
Thanks for the article and lovely photos! 🤗
That really was and is such a great place. And a great idea too. It's a shame that one day it will all just be a memory.
Wow, these look amazing! It's interesting to see how a bit of colour and artwork can bring even the most derelict and abandoned buildings to life. Too bad it's far, far away from me, but at least loads of people are enjoying it :-D
They are! And these were only about one third of all the art that was there. Some of it was geniusly divided so that it was on several walls and continued out to the near trees. So that was impossible to get in to one photo.
Wow, that sounds pretty amazing! I'd so love to see that, but it's a shame that the building is set for demolition.
It is a shame. But then again if it wasn't, originally, the artists would never have had the chance to do pretty much anything they wanted to do there. Legally. And as many of the artists there are graffiti artists originally, I think it's the nature of graffiti to be covered, destroys destroyed or removed after a while.
Ah, that's true, I guess. It's an interesting concept for sure, and it's nice to see a bit of colour every now and then. Hopefully, we'll get to see more of them coming along :-D
Very nice to see some color, especially in Finland, where most people seem to think brown, grey and white is color enough. And in these kind of concrete blocks that started to be very popular in the 1950's and still that seems to be the only building type the city or the developers build because it's cheaper to built than beautiful curves or decorations.
It's always privy to make things cheap, I suppose. It's pretty interesting to learn about these things, and good to know that if buildings appear a bit too bland, there's always talented graffiti artists to liven it up a little bit :-D

STOPWahoo impressive works and what a great initiative to allow artists to show all their talent.
Thanks for sharing all these pics.
It was my pleasure. :)
If I owned a big building in the middle of the city just laying there (uh, what else can buildings do except just lay there...) I would definitely let artists fix it's ambiance with color and cool design.
This is phenomenal artwork! Love this place! 😃
Yes, it really is awesome. :)
