How to Life (Anna Jensen & Andrea Coyotzi Borja): And that’s how the cookie crumbles ‒ It’s a Precarious System | 9.‒14.4.

director

Asettaessamme odotuksia emme välttämättä halua hyväksyä rajojamme. Kukapa haluaisi? Omien rajojen hyväksyminen on tyytymistä. Tyytymisen sijaan haluamme jatkaa eteenpäin kohti mahdollista putoamista, ilman turvaverkkoa. Kaikki kokeilut eivät ole kivuttomia tai riskittömiä. How to Life -projekti opastaa ymmärtämään, kuinka epäonnistuminen on lopulta ainoa vaihtoehto.

When setting our expectations, we might not be willing to accept our limitations. I mean, who would? Acceptance is only for the settlers, and we are forever moving towards the possibility of failing without a safety net. However, that doesn’t mean that every impact is painless and risk-free. How to Life will guide the audience to understand that eventually you can’t but fail.

Milla Aska: Warmth on a chair | 15.3.‒7.4.2019

director

Kun istahtaa linja-auton lämpimälle penkille, sen vieras hehku on jotenkin epämiellyttävä. Montako pysäkinväliä kuluu, kunnes tunnen sen omakseni? Noustuani jätän sen seuraavalle. Nämä ovat mun ajatuksiani.

When sitting on a bus seat with a foreign warmth to it, the feeling is somewhat unpleasant. How many bus stops must we pass until it becomes my own warmth. As I rise, I leave it for the next person. These are my thoughts.

Oskari Ruuska & Harpa Dís Hákonardóttir: Balance Piece | 22.2.‒10.3.2019

director

“When an object has a logic on its own, it starts to talk of many other things. It’s not that it represents anything, but it represents its own reason to exist, in a way, as material – as clay, terra cotta, in relation with bricks, in relation with the construction, with pottery, with many things and the body.” – Gabriel Orozco

The “creation of man from clay” is a miraculous birth theme that recurs throughout world religions and mythologies. – Wikipedia

Mikko Kuorinki: Coral | 9.11.-2.12.2018

director

Giorgio Agamben has suggested that while philosophy knows its object without possessing it, poetry possesses it without knowing it. More than merely celebrating the craft as a form of knowledge production—it is the hand we should be interested in rather than the eye—the philosopher posits the residual trace of absence at the center of his aesthetic theory; all the music that has not yet been written.

Yamashita, Ikehara, Urata: Moi Moi Konnichiwa | 16.-25.11.2018

director

“Since we arrived in Turku in early October, we have experienced various experiences and encounters. Everything we see, look, hear and listen, such as people, nature, culture, are fresh.”
Through their experiences of being in Turku, the artists are to produce works, referring a local culture and daily life in Turku. Their artworks and existence would draw people’s interest and will revise their perspective of Japanese culture.
We hope that it will bring fruitful communication between two different cultures in this exhibition.
By all members of the See Saw Seeds Effect; Moi Moi Konnichiwa

Corinna Helenelund & Lukas Hoffmann: The Dough | 12.10.-4.11.2018

director

Corinna Helenelund ja Lukas Hoffmann ovat taiteilijoita, jotka työskentelevät yleensä rinnakkain: Corinna kuvanveiston, installaation ja lavastuksen parissa, Lukas yksin ja ryhmissä videon ja objektien parissa. Titanikin The Dough-näyttelyssä he ovat yhdistäneet työskentelynsä tutkivan työhuoneprosessin muotoon, etsien vaikutteita toisistaan, mutta samalla myös heidän väliinsä nousevasta tuntemattomasta.
~~~
Corinna Helenelund and Lukas Hoffmann are two artists usually working next to each other: Corinna with sculpture, installation and stage design, and Lukas with video, objects and in groups. In The Dough, shown at Titanik, they have mixed their practices in a searching studio process, trying to get influenced by each other but also by the unfamiliar that is emerging in between.

Otto Byström & Ville Kallio: We Live in a Society | 20.7.–12.8.2018

director

1900-luvun verkkotietojenkäsittely on maailman kaunein kaapeli kahden paska-spagetti jäteastian välissä. Kaksi täysin erilaista jäteastiaa. Käy ilmi, että riittävän suurella paska-spagetti jäteastialla voit ruokkia maailman. Ja miksi ei kahta?

20th-century network computing is the world’s most beautiful wire, between two dumpsters of shit spaghetti. Two completely different dumpsters. It turns out that with a big enough dumpster of shit spaghetti, you can feed the world. And why not two?
