08/09 – 29/10, Iso Galleria, Kunsthalle Turku | EXHIBITION | Inka Nieminen: Fluviale | Vuolle
The exhibition Fluviale | Vuolle consists of hand-sculpted wooden sculptures and sculpture installations with moving images. The installations combine the ancient tradition of craftsmanship with ecological materials, moving images, and sound. The name of the exhibition refers to the movement, waves and currents of water, and the processing of wood.
Movement is present in various ways throughout the exhibition. Visitors encounter humanoid figures whose movements reveal glimpses of unknown life forms. Movement is evident in the naturally shaped tree trunks used as material in the sculptures. The traces of craftsmanship in the wood make visible the movement of the human body. In the video images, the material moves, creating a sound landscape simultaneously used in the sculpture installations.
The wooden sculptures are made from driftwood from seashores, old sled rails, storm-felled park trees, and deciduous trees felled on ditch slopes. The natural form and origin of the trees play an important role in the artworks.

This is an event where we look at Inka Nieminen’s works and talk about them using the Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) method. The method is an excellent way to slowly immerse oneself in art, and discuss it without pressure. This is not a traditional guided tour. Instead, VTS coach, artist and art educator Salla Keskinen leads the discussion with simple questions. Anyone with an interest in art can participate, no prior knowledge is required.

10/11 – 10/12, Iso Galleria, Kunsthalle Turku | EXHIBITION | Selma Aurora Haro: For a moment I am immortal
“I express experiences of holiness and meaningfulness, the feverish search for them, the anxiety over meaningless days, and the fear of life passing me by. I make visible my experiences of circumstances when the wonder of the world and myself becomes apparent, and circumstances when it disappears and shrinks. My own life, the pursuit of magical moments, depression and recovery, become visible in my works, through which I seek connection with the viewer.”
