Our upcoming exhibitions
On a Journey with Elsi and Tove - churches from Teuva to Taulumäki
27.9.-8.12.2024
The exhibition Elsi and Tove's Journey brings together the church architecture of Elsi Borg (1893-1958) and the art of Tove Jansson (1914-2001). The inspiration for the exhibition can be found in the 1950s in Ostrobothnia, when Borg's late-period masterpiece, Teuva Church, was completed. The church was crowned with a powerful horizontal altarpiece by Jansson "created using the al secco technique. It remained the only ecclesiastical work of Jansson's career. The exhibition includes a full-size reproduction of this altarpiece with its original altar cloths, giving visitors the opportunity to examine the unique work up close in an imaginary altar space.
Johanna Pisto & Team
09.11.2024 - 19.1.2025
Johanna Pisto and a multidisciplinary team create an interactive art exhibition combining visual art, music, video, design and technology. Based on a research project at the University of Jyväskylä, the sensors developed by Kaikutiim will be applied for the first time to visual art. The works respond to touch while producing sound and moving images.
The exhibition offers visitors functional art, experimental experiences, changing surfaces, colours and soundscapes. The works make use of digital technologies such as laser engraving, plane cutting, uv and sublimation printing.
"Feel the chair, listen to the sound and see how it produces a changing image."
The exhibition is supported by the Central Finland Fund of the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
