THE LEANING AND BLIND (2017)
Sara Pathirane
[17.12.2019 - 16.02.2020]
STAIRCASE

By the Leaning tower of Pisa, an endless choreography goes on. Attempting to catch the iconic shot, people are posing as if holding the tower up. Hundreds of strangers fumble and probe at air, like the blind, finding their way. This creates a shared language of movement, a global game of chinese whispers.

LONG FAREWELLS
OLA VASILJEVA
[20.03.2020 - 30.08.2020]
Hall

Ola Vasiljeva engages with the Pori Museum primarily through its architectural ancestry. Formerly a weigh house, the building in the town port had a transitive, measuring, evaluating function. It was a threshold space, made for the passage of goods, for their transition via a temporary halt, display and estimation.
As if subjected to a similar transition, Vasiljeva's artworks are passersby in this liminal space.

[20.03.2020 - 30.08.2020]

BUILD-UP
Jenni Yppärilä
[20.03.2020 - 30.08.2020]
MEDIApoint

Build-up is a work that explores agglomeration. Compared with Yppärilä's earlier work, it represents a new, more monumental and spatial approach. Instead of separate buildings, the work presents us with a number of façades joined together. Yppärilä creates her works by taking photographs of existing buildings, and over the years she has amassed thousands of these documentary pictures. Build-up features a selection from the archive.

All featured artists address the struggle of being human, of finding an orientation in the here and now. They all bring energy into their art, with few or no compromises. Their determination to embrace both life and art can be seen as a harbinger of a better future.
