In August 2025 Forum Box will present Boys Just Want To Have Fun by Israel Aloni & Cast as part of its Perform Europe tour.

Forum Box is a non-profit artist-run co-operative society, which was initiated in 1996 by sculptor Kain Tapper (1930–2004). Its main purpose is to maintain an art space in Helsinki in order to enrich and support the Finnish cultural life. Currently Forum Box co-op has over 100 artist members, all of which are prominent Finland-based artists and actors in the field of contemporary art.

On 8-10 November 2024 Aloni is going to visit Forum Box and other potential collaborators in Helsinki in order to begin the process of specifying the piece to the unique gallery space as well as contextualising some activities in the cultural and social reality of the city in relation to the themes and concepts of Boys Just Want To Have Fun.
