UNDER THE SKY AND OVER THE SEA ZINEB SEDIRA [16.10.2009 - 31.01.2010] Hall, Wing, Hall, Entrance hall Zineb Sedira (b. 1963 in Paris, France) is a London-based artist who works in multicultural cities and on three different continents. She was born in Paris to Algerian parents. Through a combination of documentary tradition and Algerian and French contemporary cinema, Sedira´s work examines the flow of immigration from North Africa to Europe. Using video, short film and photography as her media, Sedira investigates the process whereby immigrants abandon the framework of their original culture and start to build a new identity. An identity which demands that they assimilate a new culture and its language. Zineb Sedira´s personal history and her autobiographical images are transformed into a universal experience that raises economic, ecological, geopolitical and global questions. Sedira´s works embody the powerful oral tradition of storytelling in Arab culture and the characteristic role of women in North Africa as those who pass family stories on to the next generation. Appearing for the first time in Finland, Sedira brings to the Pori Art Museum short films, photographs and video works. In co-operation with: New Art Exchange, Nottingham (UK), Bildmuseet, Umeå, Kunsthallen Nikolaj, Copenhagen. http://www.zinebsedira.com Read more >>

A WALK IN THE CITY AT NIGHT AN EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITION IN THE MAIRE GULLICHSEN AND MODERNISM SERIES. [16.10.2009 - 31.01.2010] Project room An educational exhibition in the Maire Gullichsen and Modernism series. A Walk in the City at Night is a journey of exploration into the collections of the Maire Gullichsen Art Foundation. The paintings and sculptures on view tell the story of a walk through the city and its outskirts at night. The common theme uniting the works is the study of light and dark. The works are interpreted by children, who comment on them and develop their themes further. The journey across the city is a mysterious one. The orange, red and deepening blue tones of the setting sun give way to the electric lights and neons lighting up the night. The paintings are the result of a workshop that encouraged children to immerse themselves in the works, to explore and interpret them freely.

LIFELINES BOB VERSCHUEREN [12.06.2009 - 27.09.2009] HALL, WING, MEDIApoint, Sculpture Yard, Entrance hall The Belgian artist Bob Verschueren is known for his wind and light paintings that he has been making since 1978, but also for vegetable installations that make use of organic, natural materials and which have been the dominant aspect of his work since the mid-1980s. In creating his works, Verschueren always respects nature, listening to the inherent qualities of his material – as if the works were created under the direction of nature herself. For his show in the Pori Art Museum, Verschueren will create installations from organic materials in the main exhibition hall and the wing. The works are reflections upon the cycle of nature in its changing forms of geometry, colour and materials. Verschueren will create the works using organic waste collected from Pori and nearby areas. The exhibition is produced in cooperation with the City of Pori Park Maintenance Department. http://www.bobverschueren.net/ Read more >>

BEN AF SCHULTÉN AND THE TRADITION OF ARTEK [29.05.2009 - 27.09.2009] PROJECT ROOM The interior architect Ben af Schultén was a close friend to Maire Gullichsen. He was the artistic director of Artek from 1976 to 2004.

The exhibition presents Schultén´s work from a period spanning four decades. The exhibition concept is created by the architect Kirsi Gullichsen and it is realised in cooperation with the Maire Gullichsen Art Foundation and the Alvar Aalto Museum. Read more >>

THE SITE OF PAINTING [13.02.2009 - 31.05.2009] HALL, WING, MEDIApoint, Sculpture Yard What is the status of painting in the field of art in the 2000s? The Site of Painting charts the development of painting and the modernist tradition in Finnish contemporary art. Starting from the 1960s, the tradition of international conceptual art and minimalism declared the demise of painting. Painting in general, structural abstract painting in particular, has enjoyed a central, canonised status in Finnish art. Modernism was channelled into non-figurative painting. Postmodern art theory arrived in Finland in the 1980s, and the artforms that had previously been marginal or "new" became mainstream, such as conceptual and environmental art, performance and installation art. This was also reflected in the status of painting. The artists in the exhibition are Terike Haapoja, Toni Hautamäki, Terhi Heino, Aino Kannisto, Jouni Kujansuu, Jaakko Niemelä, Jussi Niva, Miika Nyyssönen, Tarja Pitkänen-Walter, Anssi Pulkkinen, Jukka Rusanen and Tatu Tuominen.

AUTUMN NIGHTS, SUMMER NIGHTS, THESE ARE THE MOODS I SEARCH FOR KAIN TAPPER [13.02.2009 - 25.05.2009] PROJECT ROOM Maire Gullichsen and Modernism series The sculptor Kain Tapper (6 June 1930 – 7 August 2004) was from the 1950s popularly known as a nature lyricist, a Pantheist whose art was down-to-earth and aspired to balance, According to Tapper himself, he thought with a pen, by drawing. But he was first and foremost a sculptor, whose work was characterised by an abstract idiom, a subtle dialogue between the shape of the piece and its material. The exhibition is produced in cooperation with the Maire Gullichsen Art Foundation. Read more >>

UNTO PUSA - THE MONUMENTALITY AND COSMIC SHAPES OF FIGURE [10.10.2008 - 01.02.2009] PROJECT ROOM The Maire Gullichsen and Modernism series Exact and geometric shapes are admired, but only an attentive and sensitive interpreter can give geometrical shapes rhythmically expressive life. Creative art is not limp aesthetics or secretively mumbling enthusiasm. All art is living dynamics, creating and shaping its own environment. So wrote Unto Pusa in his class book Plastillinen sommittelu (Plastic Composition), in which he also discussed the limitations to the teaching of art. The exhibition The Monumentality and Cosmic Shapes of Figure reviews the oeuvre of Unto Pusa, art theorist and master of Finnish monumental painting, through the thematics of the Three Graces, which is typical of Pusa’s art. In collaboration with: the South Karelia Art Museum, Lappeenranta, the Helsinki City Art Museum and the Aine Art Museum, Tornio. Read more >>

‘LIGHTSHADOWCOMPLEX’ MISCHA KUBALL [10.10.2008 - 01.02.2009] HALL, WING, HALL, ENTRANCE HALL The autumn season at Pori Art Museum opens with the exhibition by German media and light artist, Mischa Kuball (b. 1959), a professor at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne. For over 20 years, Kuball has been studying light and the possibilities of using it in various forms, and LightShadowComplex will be his first exhibition in Finland. Kuball is well known for his works for which he reshapes built environments and spaces using light. In 1990, for instance, for his six-week-long project Megazeichen (Megasigns) he directed, after office hours, all the lights on the floors of a skyscraper in Düsseldorf, decorating the cityscape with huge symbols that with mathematical precision were continually changing. At the Pori Art Museum, Kuball combines light with numbers and letters to build a work that unsettles both the viewer’s ability to interpret shapes and his sense of balance. To accompany the exhibition the artist’s work is also presented in a large publication, Mischa Kuball ...in progress, Projects 1980–2007, which will be on sale at the Pori Art Museum shop. The organisations collaborating on this exhibition include: the Kunstverein Hannover, the Sarajevo Center for Contemporary Art, the Beijing Royal Art Museum, the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art and the Centre d’Art Contemporain Passerelle, Brest. Kuball’s space-exploring works will be built at the Hall, Wing and Lobby of the Pori Art Museum. www.mischakuball.com/ Read more >>

PHENOMENA [15.02.2008 - 25.05.2008] HALL, WING Exhibition artists: David Blandy (UK), Hanna Haaslahti (FI), Eva Koch (DK), Tuula Närhinen (FI), Jaana Partanen (FI),Fredrik Raddum (NO), Tuomo Rosenlund (FI), Marika Seidler (DK), Jari Silomäki (FI), David Svensson (SV).The exhibition Phenomena at the Pori Art Museum showcases artists from five different countries. The aim of the exhibition as well as the exhibition publication is to discuss and question a number of phenomena in affluent societies today. The phenomena can be as simple as light, seeing, hearing or as complex as morality, nature or youth. It is characteristic of our time that we have to learn to accept change, but there is also the dichotomy of the importance of national identity and the need for cosmopolitan thinking and global tolerance. People in the welfare societies of the Nordic countries find themselves in a conflict between the Third World on one hand and overflowing wealth on the other. Many questions are being asked. How are we to handle all the phenomena that spring from global warming, new technology and increasing poverty? There is also a lack of understanding of the changes that are taking place in the present. Often enough, seeing things at a close distance is more difficult than being open-minded. We want to know what is happening in our world, but at the same time we struggle with the guilt of our own ineptness. The Phenomena exhibition gives the audience an invisible magnifying glass with which to observe the phenomena around them as well as the effects of those phenomena from various distances.

UNTO PUSA - CUBISM AND NATIONAL ILLUSTRATION - MAIRE GULLICHSEN AND MODERNISM [15.02.2008 - 25.05.2008] PROJECT ROOM Unto Pusa painted his first cubist work entitled Katunäkymä (Street View) in 1949. The painting is also known as Cubist Chevreuse. Pusa had worked in the small town near Paris for a decade and a half, painting canvases in the style of Cézanne, as miniature worlds free of any illusion. For Pusa, Cézanne´s art was not just about the stylistic simplification of form. At its core was an effort to understand the thinking that went into the composition of a painting. In the late 1940s, Pusa visited Fernand Léger’s retrospective in Paris. It made an enduring impression on him. He came to understand that all forms within a composition are equal such that the choice of subject matter no longer occupies a dominant position. Info > Read more >>

IT’S ABOUT THE ART OF OUR TIME - MAIRE GULLICHSEN [27.05.2007 - 30.09.2007] HALL, WING, PROJECT ROOM, MEDIApoint ” Maire Gullichsen (1907-1990) was a legend in her lifetime. She, if any Finnish woman who lived in the 20th century, had the makings of a hero myth, but heroism is understood in male terms, and is thus poorly suited to Gullichsen’s personality.” Tuula Karjalainen in the commemorative book on Maire Gullichsen, 2007 This year marks the centenary of the birth of Maire Gullichsen. The Maire Gullichsen Art Foundation and the Pori Art Museum celebrate the occasion with a special exhibition and the publishing of a catalogue and commemorative book in association with the Central Art Archives of the Finnish National Gallery.

SIGNS [10.11.2006 - 07.01.2007] Wing A sign can evoke its meaning within a tangible environment filled with signs. In the exhibition SIGNS the works could be described by the words: ‘be for me a sign of something’. They move through a profusion of basic symbolism, human facial expressions, sign language and gestures, in which the viewer can find both signs and significance. The basic elements of colour, shape and surface symbolise and create a bridge between the structures of art, philosophy and everyday life. Info > Read more >>

ASIAN PIECES Tero Kiiskinen [10.11.2006 - 07.01.2007] PROJECT ROOM ‘I was given a typewriter to use. As promised, here is the circular of my diary, such as it is, unchanged, with nothing added, with emotions of the moment, some even quite intimate, but let it be.’ (Tero Kiiskinen, in his diary, 1976.) The theme for the autumn season at the Pori Art Museum is the relationship between people and art; art and life. Tero Kiiskinen (1948–1996) was a stage designer who graduated from the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 1974, after which he spent a further year studying at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts in Poland. In 1975 he began making long trips to Asia where, in total, he eventually spent some six years. Info > Read more >>

COLLECTORS EYE [08.09.2006 - 07.01.2007] Hall The autumn theme at the Pori Art Museum is the relationship between art and people. Art records and reflects, builds and describes both itself and the life force of the society in which it is born. When art collectors expand their collections, they build an image not only of art and its development but also of themselves. Like the artist, the collector is both an actor and the object of the action, both the messenger and the recipient. The collector is free to look for new ways of understanding and interaction, but is also bound by a strong tradition, by existing and established forms of interpretation and thinking. Through three collections, the exhibition THE COLLECTOR’S EYE displays three subjective, partly overlapping views of contemporary Finnish and international art. Info> Read more >>

OSCAR MUÑOZ [08.09.2006 - 05.11.2006] WING, PROJECT ROOM Poverty, drugs, crime, political unrest and kidnappings. Three out of every four kidnappings in the world take place in Latin America. Victims of politics, economics and everyday life, people simply vanish – or a ransom is extorted from their families. A person is a means, a victim, a loved one – or, as in the exhibition, a work of art. Info > Read more >>

INTERSECTION - BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE [09.06.2006 - 27.08.2006] HALL, WING, PROJECT ROOM Finnish contemporary art is at the height of popularity today. It is internationally recognised as being interesting and of an exceptionally high standard. The Pori Art Museum will celebrate the museum´s 25th anniversary by preparing a review of topical art in Finland in the spirit of Maire Gullichsen´s collection of art. Intersection – Between Past and Future will consist of three sections. There are ten artists featured in the exhibition: Elina Brotherus, Kyllikki Haavisto, Pertti Kekarainen, Ola Kolehmainen, Lotta Määttänen, Anna Tuori and Marko Vuokola.

CAROLUS ENCKELL [24.03.2006 - 28.05.2006] Wing "Painting is at its purest when it rejects all symbolic and allegorical meanings, positing subjective interpretation in their stead," wrote Carolus Enckell in 1992. Known as a painter and skilful writer, it has been said that art for Enckell is a manifestation of "true," original life in an aesthetic, universal form. In conjunction with the exhibition, the Pori Art Museum will publish a book of essays by Enckell in the museum´s TUTKA series of studies on art. The book is edited by Jorma Hautala and Jaakko Lintinen. Read more >>

CAST VESA-PEKKA RANNIKKO [24.03.2006 - 28.05.2006] PROJECT ROOM Vesa-Pekka Rannikko (born Turku, 1968) usually makes his sculptures with tinted plaster. The basic ingredients of his work are materials and their combinations, and the exploration of light as an element that defines both shape and place. Another topic explored by Rannikko is the essence of colour when it appears in a physical form. In the Pori Art Museum, Rannikko will use the Project Room itself as one element of his installation, disrupting its clinical, unbroken impression. Read more >>

URBAN CREATURES Ulf Aminde, Sergio Belinchon, Shahram Entekhabi, Mathilde ter Heijne, Remy Markowitsch, Bjørn Melhus, Maya Roos, Kai Schiemenz, Michaela Schweiger. [27.01.2006 - 28.05.2006] HALL, PROJECT ROOM The theme of Urban Creatures arises from the phenomena common to modern big cities. Isolation, narcissism, insecurity and fragmented interaction are the flip side of the culture of mass urban societies, where individuals must try to construct an identity for themselves. The interpretation and construction of reality, just as the formation of self-image, take place under the powerful influence of the media and their codifications. The artists of the exhibition all live in Berlin, although they represent six different nationalities. Their sculptures, installations, videos and photos explore the urban matrix as a space of everyday life and as cultural production. The exhibition is curated by Dorothee Bienert, an art historian from Berlin. The artists are Ulf Aminde, Sergio Belinchon, Shahram Entekhabi, Remy Markowitsch, Bjørn Melhus, Olaf Nicolai, Maya Roos, Michaela Schweiger, Mathilde Ter Heijne. Read more >>

ME, MYSELF, NYKARLEBY [THE WORLD] AND I ALBERT BRAUN [27.01.2006 - 19.03.2006] Wing The German-born artist Albert Braun (born Vilseck, 1958) explores the nature of identity, using as an example his Swedish-speaking hometown of Nykarleby in Finland. Braun sees himself as a foreigner who observes his surroundings and life with undisguised interest, critically, narratively and also with humour. His works combine documentary photographic printouts with objects and structures. Braun looks at parochialism and romantic nationality with an ironic twinkle in his eye. Read more >>

FROM DRAWING TO PAINTING TO DRAWING Jonathan Lasker [16.09.2005 - 08.01.2006] HALL From Drawing to Painting to Drawing offers the public an opportunity to get to know the work of American artist Jonathan Lasker. The parameters of art have expanded as developments in photography, video and multimedia have redefined the role of traditional fine art techniques. With the advent of new technology, and the tools it offers for artistic expression, there is renewed interest in the relationship between space, surface, and the expression inherent in line. In this exhibition the emphasis is on drawing. The starting point is drawing as an independent art form and its role in painting. From Drawing to Painting to Drawing. In cooperation with Kunsthallen Brandts Klædefabrik, Odense. Read more >>

COPPERLIGHT E.g. Jyrki Siukonen, Marko Vuokola, Jaakko Thornberg, Mikko Maasalo [16.09.2005 - 20.11.2005] WING The theme of the exhibition is copper (Cu), in all its forms and senses: as a metallic element, a material essential to our daily existence, as a concept, and also as a phenomenon in cultural history. The exhibiting artists have studied and interpreted the possibilities inherent in copper – in terms of material, surface, form, and space.

LISZT-BROUCKE, OUR TRAVELLING CIRCUS LIFE, ODE TO MEGALOMANIA KOEN BROUCKE [16.09.2005 - 20.11.2005] PROJECT ROOM For some years now, the Belgian artist and historian Koen Broucke has been studying the lives of certain famous and forgotten artists, including composers and writers. Liszt-Broucke, Our Travelling Circus Life, Ode to Megalomania is a painting and video art installation based on a series of documented performances given by Broucke on valuable grand pianos in different parts of Central Europe. Broucke painted a series of pictures based on the documentary footage and used these paintings in the creation of his installation. In his piano performances, Broucke imitates the manners of Franz Liszt. The exhibition makes a humorous comment on the myth of the Romantic Artist. Read more >>

WOMEN´S QUESTIONS Jef Geys [10.06.2005 - 11.09.2005] HALL, WING, PROJECT ROOM Women´s Questions. A conceptual artist of the old school, Jef Geys (b. 1935) is one of the foremost figures in Belgian contemporary art. In this exhibition, he uses feminine issues to explore the boundaries and possibilities of European identity and the individual and their manifestations in our culture. Built in the Wing, Geys makes use of works from the collections of the Maire Gullichsen Art Foundation in his installation. The exhibition is produced in co-operation with Kunsthalle Lophem from Belgium.

BRIEFE AUS NIRGENDWO - LETTERS FROM NOWHERE Kimmo Sarje ja Pertti "Lande" Lindfors [08.04.2005 - 25.05.2005] WING Briefe aus Nirgendwo - Letters from Nowhere. Like a prism, Letters from Nowhere reveals the many facets of human ideals and goals, tensions between society and individual and the role of thinking in this process. The theme is addressed visually through a single, ordinary event. What we understand, how we read reality and what happens to documents when they are moved from their original context into a new one. What happens to people, what happens to memories and how stories are renewed as they are retold again and again. The book, published in conjunction with the exhibition, includes articles by Kimmo Sarje, Ph.D., artist and critic; Pertti Lindfors, Ph.D., Docent; Hannu Eerikäinen, media researcher; Pekka Sutela, Docent; Vesa Oittinen, Docent; Raimo Lovio, professor; and Kati Mustola, researcher.

KAI´RO Lara Baladi [18.02.2005 - 29.05.2005] HALL Kai´ro. The works of Lara Baladi (b. 1969 in Beirut, Lebanon) blend Islamic motifs with Barbie kitsch and pop culture. Together Baladi´s photographic collages, installations and videos are like a mosaic whose allusions range from everyday life to the cinema, performance and advertisement imagery. Based in Cairo, Baladi grew up in Paris and London, where she graduated in 1990 with a BA from Richmond University. The show is produced in collaboration with BildMuseet, Umeå, Sweden; Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, Denmark; and LänsMuseet Västernorrland, Härnösand, Sweden. A catalogue in four languages presenting Baladi´s work is published in conjunction with the exhibition. Read more >>

BLACK BUTTERFLY Kiba Lumberg [18.02.2005 - 03.04.2005] WING Black Butterfly. Kiba Lumberg (b. 1956 in Lappeenranta) is known in Finland as a keen observer of the ethnic and cultural dimensions of her own Romani background. Both a writer and an artist, Lumberg characteristically explores the roles of women in her exuberant work. Focusing on one artist, the show extends the overall picture of the Samaa maata – Side by side project and exhibition, produced in 1997 by the Pori Art Museum, that explored ethnic minorities in Finland from the perspective of art. A book with text in Finnish and English is published in conjunction with the exhibition, with articles by Sirkku Dölle, Keeper in the National Museum of Finland; Leena Eräsaari, Ph.D., professor; Leena-Maija Rossi, Ph.D., researcher and critic; and Matti Salakka, MA, media researcher.

FROM CUBISM TO CONCRETISM [01.12.2004 - 30.01.2005] WING Early Norwegian avant-garde. In the artist’s work, the avant-garde art of the early 20th century denoted the replacement of the line by the analysis of the meaning of the surface and the plane. In the last century, Norwegian nonfigurative art had two heydays. In the 1920s and 1930s Norwegian artists got to know Cubism and Purism in Paris. In the 1950s and 1960s Norwegian art rose from the ruins of World War II.

NO NAME MARJA KANERVO [03.09.2003 - 23.11.2003] HALL Marja Kanervo (s.1958) is one of the pioneers of the Finnish installation art. Main theme in her work is the material substance of space as an impulse for aesthetic experience. By reducing, removing and breaking her materials Marja Kanervo brings the everyday space and the space of representation into the sphere of perception and as such makes them a part of her work.

SAARA EKSTRÖM [03.09.2003 - 23.11.2003] WING Saara Ekström (s.1965) often deals with the themes of vulnerability and breakdown in her work. An interest in the human – whether it is our physical or psychical nature – and an ability to transform the private into the public without it losing its fragile intimacy are characteristics of Ekström’s art. She uses organic materials, such as flowers, hair, gastropods or oysters to depict our exposure to life and death, and encounters with suffering and longing. Ekström will realize a new installation for the art museum.

FLIP // TASKUKOKOISIA TARINOITA [03.09.2003 - 23.11.2003] PROJECT ROOM FLIP. Pocket-sized stories Flip-book is a pre-cinematic medium familiar to most of us. When a stack of sheets with succeeding phases of animation is flipped, an impression of moving image is created. The same principle is at work in cinema and is based on the principle of afterimage. Pori Art Museum has asked three artists – Johanna Antinkaapo, Adrianne Gallinari and Jenni Rope – to create their own flip-books. The books are then used as models for a workshop, which focuses on the production of animation with the same technique. The artists take part in the workshop, too.
