Contemporary art exhibition brings together artists from Art School Maa into Myym\u00e4l\u00e42, exhibiting video works and installation. The themes of the exhibition circle around nostalgia, community and long term illness. Unearthed Youtube-videos long for a past time, the loss of one\u2019s functioning body is given motion with dance and the meaning of community and social exclusion is pondered through materials such as wood..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artists of Myym\u00e4l\u00e42:<\/strong> Aleksi H\u00e4iv\u00e4l\u00e4<\/strong> (b. 2004) is an artist based in Helsinki, currently studying contemporary art at Taidekoulu Maa as well as pursuing a craftsman’s qualification in metalwork. In H\u00e4iv\u00e4l\u00e4\u2019s art, folk traditions and a connection to nature intersect with the handling of hard materials. Birds, in particular, serve as a recurring point of departure through which he processes his observations and emotions into artworks. Sculpture is H\u00e4iv\u00e4l\u00e4\u2019s primary form of expression, which he practices by exploring primitive techniques to create something new from the old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ulriika Hyry<\/strong> is a multidisciplinary artist who explores vulnerability, such as the fundamental uncertainty of life and the social narratives and constructions created to protect it. In their art Hyry attempts to reach out to bridge the gap between the fragility of existence and illusions of omnipotence. Hyry uses their daily life with chronic illness as a material starting point for their work. Accumulated materials, such as worn-out bedsheets, phone recorded videos of cinematic moments, frustrating bureaucracy calls and letter sequences found in the Documents folder are taking shape as video installations, performance and poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luukas Pollari<\/strong> is a Helsinki-based artist focused on video, photography and sound. He playfully merges fantasy with uncanny realism through an experimental approach to storytelling and worldbuilding. His practice weaves between dreamlike liminal spaces and memories, blurring the line of amusement with amazement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exhibition open 25.\u201331.8. mon\u2013sat 12\u201318, sun 12\u201317Vernissage and a performance on Thursday 28.8. 18.00 \u2013 20.00Myym\u00e4l\u00e42 Gallery, Uudenmaankatu 23 Helsinki Contemporary art exhibition brings together artists from Art School Maa into Myym\u00e4l\u00e42, exhibiting video works and installation.
