The work "Bronze Flow 2" was realised using the new plywood, bronze, fire and ash technique that Jaana Partanen and Heikki Lamusuo, together with artist-founders, developed in 2003 and 2004. The two-piece work is a permanent part of the building's architecture. The first part is situated on the second floor of the cinema centre, in the far wall of the balcony. The art piece is plywood that has been worked into a form, and the surface is solidified bronze. The bronze flows like lava down a soft, dark, furrowed plywood surface. The second part of the piece is a plywood slab bench that has undergone the long process of metamorphosis through fire and ash.

Bronze Flow 2, 2004, part two, plywood and bronze, size: 3,9 x 0,45 x 0,45 m.

Bronze Flow 2 musical document
Bronze Flow 2 (Pronssivaluma 2) documents the creation of a public work of art in a music video. The document brings forth how a work of art is implemented as a part of architecture and how it makes the building individualistic, distinguishable and a welcoming part of the environment.
