Tense Territories
January 22 - May 24, 2009 The Finnish Museum of Photography Address: Cable Factory, Tallberginkatu 1 G, FIN - 00180 Helsinki Tense Territories is a large exhibition, made up of four solo shows. Mohamed Bourouissa, Sini Pelkki, Carrie Schneider and Sauli Sirviö, each in their own exhibition, consider ways in which the public and the private, or the global and the local, are defined in our lives, regardless of nationality. In Périphérique Mohamed Bourouissa examines his own background and community in the housing estates of Paris. Sini Pelkki’s set of video works Statue-Concealment-Ceremony investigates the relationship between nature and the urban living environment. Carrie Schneider’s Hang on to yourself looks at the interlocking nature of independence and our dependency relationships with other people and our environment. Sauli Sirviö’s The Great Escape is a depiction of the artist’s own life as the story of a subculture. Each of these artists presents their own powerful, individual view of our existence, and proposes alternatives for new discourses of identity. www.fillesducalvaire.com Tense Territories - Mohamed Bourouissa, Sini Pelkki, Carrie Schneider, Sauli Sirviö is curated by Aura Seikkula (Helsinki, Finland) Curator’s Tour and Meet the Artists event, Saturday 7.2.2009 at 14:00.
