Alabaster – Wels kunsthalle

WHEN
September  2023

WHERE
Wels Kunsthalle, Wels, Austria

WHAT
Curated by: Johannes Kastinger

‘These artworks blend linen artwork called ‘Swamp’ and a sculpture ‘Swamp’s Hideaway’ combining metal and jute. The sculpture’s visible, unfinished welding marks give the impression of a man-made, rushed structure. There are vibrations of rough, violent surfaces, rough jute combined with metal that has almost scar-looking markings. The long jute ropes on the floor resemble roots that can tie a lost animal or human or give protection. ‘

WHAT
Not belonging, not belonging to a place, time, or culture. History and heritage, its loss and rediscovery. 
The installation showcases a postpartum landscape of my childhood in Southern Finland. The landscape showcases the spring, when roots of tulips are stronger than the flowers, they hold the flower upright and provide a stable base. The bridge sculptures, made of concrete and metal, make this bridge with past and present visible.

The name of the exhibition and installation goes back to the play ‘Sirius’ guests’ (1984) written by Arto Meller.
