Texts include commissioned exhibition writing, independent essays, artist interviews and contemplations on art.
Silence Full of Meaning
The world stands still in the presence of meaning. Landscapes linger within moments where the seen and the unseen, the real and the dreamt, converge. The viewer is invited to the edge of the undefined.
Temporality In Transformation
Contemplation of terrains and memory
Flowing patterns and temporal imprints
Transformation through time and geological memory, marked by growth, resilience, and emergence
The fragility of ecosystems
Processes of erosion, sedimentation, fossilization, and the movement of water
Layered temporality across both deep time and human experience
The Spirit Persists Against The Winds of Time
Meditating on the fleeting nature of earthly existence and tributing to the 𝒦𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓋𝒶𝓁𝒶 and Finnish mythology, 𝘝𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘴 by Akseli Gallen-Kallela embodies a testament to ever-turning cycle and myths that endure.
Connecting Between Realms
connecting between realms
not to dominate but coexist
being creator as part of the environment
within transitions and cycles
bridging mass and space, the lightness within solid void, present absence, (im)material, earth and sky, time and permanence
emphemerality is gate for passage
Fragments of Existence
Perception constructs meaning arising from the interaction between parts and the whole.
The Passage of Time
Transition and passage between different phases of existence suggest the unknown, evoking a sense of mystery about what lies beyond. What is yet unseen?
Connections – Between conscious and subconscious
A connection is a given by events, the instants of time in a point of space. It allows the flow of things, dialogue, flexibility in change, and concordance, leading to the ability to respond to challenges. How do pieces gather for an entity, what are the links amidst fragments, and where goes the limit of awareness?
Space – Positions and directions
Space is a condition for objects to exist, and it appears only with objects in it. Positions and directions explore the spatiality and its interfaces, the relativity between the objects and their orientations. The farther the thing is, the less it appears to move, and the only common direction in this world is time.
La Morale élastique
Kati Peltola’s glass world La Morale élastique (Engl. Elastic Moral) is a collection of works that explore the elasticity of morality; like ever-flexible human body, morality can adapt and change. Through this exhibition, Peltola aims to cultivate care, respect, and fairness by inviting visitors to explore beyond the binary concepts of good and bad. The works in the exhibition are part of an ongoing project that began in 2021.
Identity in, through and beyond art
All identities are interconnected and exist in relation to others. Artwork can be seen as a continuum of an artist’s identity whereas any interpretation of art is influenced by the spectator’s identity. When looking at an artwork you perceive it through yourself – what do you see?
Hugo Simberg’s dream world (1873–1917)
Hugo Simberg’s work is an enhancement of the senses. He has created a dream world which requires symbolic means to interpret it. He composes metaphors with coherence and continuity. Subtle colours enter a mental landscape where movements are on the border of sleep and consciousness.
Timo Andersson (b. 1989) — Painting and aesthetics in thought process
A visit at Timo Andersson’s studio in Merihaka in October 2021 unveiled how naturally painting can become part of the thought process and a way of life. Violet works in progress around the studio space during the visit created an atmosphere of fairytale magic and nostalgia of childhood.
