Liisa Roberts' Project 'What's the Time in Vyborg?' Explored Between State and Public
Liisa Roberts, born in Paris in 1969 and now residing in Helsinki and St. Petersburg, launched the project 'What's the Time in Vyborg?' to investigate the relationship between public spaces and government. She earned her BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design in the U.S. Roberts started exhibiting internationally in the early '90s, showcasing her work at places like Artists Space in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki. She has also had significant solo shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Miami Art Museum. In January 2004, a piece by Olga Kopenkina about the project was published in ARTMargins Online.
