An Echo in the Labyrinth

An Echo in the Labyrinth invites audiences inside a labyrinth populated by multiple and shared voices. For his first exhibition in Finland,  Felipe Vásconez playfully guides us into the intimacy of his creative process. 

The artist revisits the myth of the Minotaur, suggesting each of us inhabits an individual labyrinth within a broader, collective, and societal labyrinth. Felipe's labyrinth is a place to experience his artistic work and, at the same time, his studio space where audiences can participate and engage with drawing. 

Each morning, Felipe dedicates 35 minutes to creating a drawing or finishing the one from the previous day. He commits these grains of time to experimentation, which he documents in several journals. These drawings, sketches, paintings, and collages—which explore the human figure, architecture, literature, and different landscapes—will come together to find a new expression at Myymälä2. 

An Echo in the Labyrinth was originally conceived as part of Each day hides a grain of Sunday, Circus Maximus' 2024 programme curated by Daniela Pascual Esparza. However, the piece could not happen as originally planned due to unforeseen circumstances. In 2025, a lighter version is possible through a collaboration between Myymälä2, Felipe Vásconez, and Circus Maximus.

Exhibition Dates: February 6–16, 2025 Opening Hours: Wednesday–Saturday 12:00–18:00, Sunday 12:00–17:00 Location: Myymälä2, Uudenmaankatu 23 f, 00120 Helsinki
