Adult Life Lab Art Show

Adult Life Lab is a short film and a community-based DIY filmmaking and art project. This multidisciplinary collaboration is about adulting, but the bigger story is how a group of over 70 people in Turku, Finland, Rome, Georgia (US) and now Pittsburgh, are making the story of Henry come alive. Henry, who has never entirely adjusted to adult life, finds company with three co-workers with the same challenges. Together, they form a ‘laboratory’ that invents mostly failing devices to solve their adulting problems, but all they need is one to succeed.

The purpose of the exhibit is to immerse visitors in the culture of DIY community-based invention, filmmaking and art, and to share key aspects of the Adult Life Lab film. See a world of imagination, creativity, and DIY ingenuity featured in photography, video installation, and quirky ‘adulting’ inventions, handcrafted with love from Finland.
