Suhduhnle 4.-27.8.2023
Where does the artwork take place and under what conditions? The works in the exhibition explore temporal possibilities and questions related to the materiality of art. The exhibition features nine young artists from various disciplines at the Academy of Fine Arts, including painting, sculpture, and spatial-temporal arts. The exhibition’s organizing team has also invited the Bebetton art initiative formed by Jani Anders Purhonen and Eeva Röngäs to participate in the exhibition.

Anywhere in no-time/Nowhere all the time 4.8–27.8.2023
“Anywhere in no-time/Nowhere all the time” takes shape linguistically and materializes as text itself. In doing so, the text also becomes attached to space and place. This exhibition is a textual event that can be dissected into parts, which in themselves always revert somewhere else.

In the Midst of an Artist Community – Kallio-Kuninkala Then and Now 2.5.-27.8.2023
What is the connection between Kallio-Kuninkala building and the Tuusula lake artist community? What kind of impact has it had on Finnish cultural life, and what is happening there today? The exhibition takes us from the late 19th century, through the experiences of the K.A. and Kerttu Paloheimo family and their lineage, to the present-day activities of the University of the Arts Helsinki’s Järvenpää premises. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Järvenpää Art Museum and the Leonora and Yrjö Paloheimo Foundation, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2023.

Premiered at Kiasma Theatre, Kemi – II Memo of Trees is the second half of professor Tuija Kokkonen’s two-part work. It was preceded by Kemi – Memo of Trees, a Kemi City Theatre production that was set in the Kemi region 100 years in the future. The second installment takes the perspective of young climate activists: the ones who put their futures on the line to stand up for the trees – and have to live with the consequences of ecological crises.
