Life on a Leaf is a total artwork by artist Jan-Erik Andersson. The house is an artist and researcher residence, a visitor attraction, and a meeting place. The house was completed in August 2009 in Turku. This unique house was designed by Andersson together with architect Erkki Pitkäranta. The house was part of Andersson's artistic doctoral thesis, which he completed at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. Today, the house serves as an artist residence. Our resident artist in September is the Danish artist and curator Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen.

We recommend using public transport or cycling. Buses 51, 53 and 71 stop nearby, other buses towards Hirvensalo stop a 1.4 km walk from the house. By bike the distance to central Turku is about 6 km. If needed, cars can be parked opposite the house on Vanha Kakskerrantie during the event. We will mark the parking area.
