Überhund – The Fascinating Dogs of Art
Dogs have been our companions and co-workers for centuries, but also muses and sources of inspiration. It is surprisingly common to find dogs in art, but they are usually so mundane and ordinary that they are not always noticed. The exhibition Überhund brings dogs to the forefront, out of their usual roles and jobs, to the spotlight. The exhibition is curated by the director of the Salo Art Museum, Susanna Luojus. Produced together with the art museums of Salo, Kouvola, Kuopio, and Mikkeli, Überhund is the largest exhibition of ”dogs in art” ever seen in Finland.

Elina Brotherus – Time
The retrospective exhibition by internationally renowned Finnish photographer Elina Brotherus showcases the artist’s work from the early series of the 1990s to her more recent works. Brotherus' work has been alternating between autobiographical and art-historical approaches. Since early works on subjective experiences her works have been dealing with the human figure and the landscape and the relation of the artist and the model. Later on she has revisited Fluxus event scores and other written instructions for performance-oriented art of the 1950s-70s. Recent theme in her practice is architecture. The exhibition is one of a three-part exhibition series produced in collaboration with the Alvar Aalto Museum and Luovake Center for Creative Photography. The other parts of the series are simultaneously on view at the Alvar Aalto Museum and Gallery Ratamo.
Gallery 14.10.2023–4.2.2024
Wilho Sjöström
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of the artist Wilho Sjöström (1873–1944). During his lifetime, Sjöström was one of Finland's best-known painters, a professor and an influential figure in the art world. He is particularly well known as a prolific portrait and landscape painter and was a key figure in the field of Finnish early modernism in the 1910s. Sjöström also had a long influence in Central Finland. To mark his centenary year, the exhibition presents a unique selection of Sjöström's works mainly from a private collection in Central Finland.
