RIEN – Is That All?

The extensive joint exhibition by Veli Granö and Tuovi Hippeläinen explores worldviews and life stories through ideas, images, narrations and memories. The exhibition takes up the theme of travel as metaphor of life. The miniature worlds created by the artists offer viewpoints into collective and individual experiences and to different and alternative ways to perceive reality. The exhibition is accompanied by a self-portrait clay workshop at the museum´s sculpture yard. The self-prtraits produced in the workshop will later be put on display in the museum’s lobby as part of the exhibition. The exhibition is produced by Pori Art Museum and is part of the Visual Community Network –project. After Pori the exhibition will travel to project museums BildMuseet in Umeå, Sweden and BALTIC, Gateshead, England during 2004-2005.
