KERÄILIJÄN
KATSE / 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.

from the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 1974, after which

spent some six years.

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.

MIRROR MAKER
FIONA TAN
[26.01.2007 - 20.05.2007]
HALL
The exhibition Mirror Maker by video and film artist Fiona Tan in the Hall and Project Room of the Pori Art Museum is all about observing, about the pictorial world of history and modern times, and about the selective subjectivity of the human gaze.
ÄÄNI-INSTALLAATIO
JUSSI HEIKKILÄ
[26.01.2007 - 25.03.2007]
WING
Jussi Heikkilä creates his first sound installation in The Wing at the Pori Art Museum. The soundscape of the work, which was recorded in Estonia, takes the thought of being free as a bird into a shattering cacophony in which the forces of nature once more demonstrate their might.
