Wind chime park in Haapavesi
ITE artist Anna Penttilä is implementing the Tuulikellopuisto park in her native Haapavesi. The idea is to make as many wind chimes as possible in the forest during a lifetime. “We’ll disappear in twenty years’ time, maybe I’ll apply for the Guinness Book of Records,” Penttilä ponders.
Anna Penttilä already has the ITE art park Nukkavierumetsä in Kirkkonummi. The wind chime park will also feature ITE art. Every year, during the summer holidays and around Christmas, Penttilä does a bigger and more impressive job there.
Right next to the Wind chime park park, a ten-minute drive away in Maliskylä, Nivala, is the well-known ITE art destination Crazyland.
