Taneli Eskola
The Asphalt Gardens – Paradises in the urban structure
Photographs
22.1 2009- 24.5 2009

Taneli Eskola has walked those same paths as many in Helsinki in his everyday routes. Eskola’s exhibition pictures those kind of secret gardens and views which can be seen if you look at the right time beyond established gaze and familiar places.  In the exhibition you can see Eskola’s views from Helsinki during years 1997-98. Taneli Eskola’s and Julia Donner’s book “Exploring Helsinki - places, paths, gardens” will be published same time with the exhibition (Multikustannus).

Markus Renvall: The Doll’s House – A media game
22.1.-8.2.2009

The Doll’s House is media artist Markus Renvall’s combination of installations and workshops for 0-100 year olds. The aim of the media game is to change the relationship with the media of children, young people, adults, educational groups or even working communities. Media-game players are not just passive media consumers, but a community that constructs its own media space. The media game can, for instance, involve ‘sadutus’ (illustrated storytelling) or be a way of developing a working community’s shared learning process.

Markus Renvall will lead a workshop open to all on Saturday 31.1 at 11 a.m. Free entry. Enrolment: erja.salo@fmp.fi. It is also possible to book tailored workshops for special groups. Workshop enquiries and enrolment: Educational Curator Erja Salo, +358-9-6866 3620, erja.salo@fmp.fi.

Axel Straschnoy: Opening
The work is shown at the musem shop Tue-Sun between 11–18, free entry.
22.1.–15.2.2009

Axel Straschnoy was born in Buenos Aires in 1978 and currently lives and works in Helsinki. His works bridges different media and deals with issues of representation, process and the production of the mechanical image. Opening, his first book, takes these into a new medium.

Catarina Ryöppy
Our Inalik – young people’s pictures from Little Diomede Island, Alaska
6.3-5.4.2009

Visual artist Catarina Ryöppy has long been interested in Little Diomede Island, situated at the narrowest point of the Bering Strait, halfway between Alaska and Siberia. In addition to her own photography project, in the summer of 2008, Ryöppy ran a photography workshop for the young people of the island in the city of Inalik. The exhibition combines the young people’s photographs with Catarina Ryöppy’s stories about their lives and about the unique culture of the island.

New Prints – photographs
3.12.2008 – 31.1.2009

The creators of the portfolio New Prints – Kristoffer Albrecht, Taneli Eskola, Timo Kelaranta, Ritva Kovalainen and Pentti Sammallahti have pulled together to showcase their work. Experienced photographers and printers have looked into new photography, which materializes digital image files as pigment prints. Though, the dark room and its sounds of water and smells of chemicals have changed to a clearly lit room and computers, one can discern a fine scale of tones and minute details, as well as the hungry eye and precise perception of the photographer.

The exhibition consists of the portfolio, which includes 15 works. The portfolio has been made in an edition of 15.

Kari Soinio, From Landscape to Place
28.1.-15.3.2009

Kari Soinio's From Landscape to Place is in part a retrospective exhibition, which examines how landscapes and memory are viewed. The images are on the border of landscapes, beyond the reach of the gaze, often on the other side of photographic sharpness. The importance of place for identity is both enhanced as well as questioned.

Marita Liulia: Choosing My Religion
5th floor
13.02.2009 - 19.04.2009

Marita Liulia’s most recent multimedia project views the major religions of the world from multiple perspectives, particularly the female one. Liulia’s work juxtaposes Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Shinto. The exhibition is a visual and experiential whole comprising photographs, paintings, objects and media works.


Ola Kolehmainen: A Building Is Not a Building
4th floor
26.02.2009 - 26.04.2009

Architecture is the subject matter of Berlin-based photographer Ola Kolehmainen’s art.
Instead of merely documenting it, he crops and brings forth interesting and surprising details. The name of the exhibition implies that in Kolehmainen’s photographs a building is not primarily a building but a fabric of colour, light, shapes, surfaces and depth, repetition and composition, an expedition to the image.
