The 99th Annual Exhibition has been curated by set designer and puppet theatre artist Johanna Latvala.<\/span><\/p>\n The Turku Artists’ Association’s 99th Annual Exhibition received 151\u00a0work proposals: sculptures, installations, collages, paintings and\u00a0drawings as well as graphics, photography, textile art and\u00a0video works. The subject matters reflected timeless themes, such as portraits, landscapes and abstractions, as well as current topics, such as environmental issues and the war in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n The application for the exhibition was open to all artists and art students living in Southwest Finland. Latvala selected 42 works from the many impressive proposals for the exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n Latvala describes the selection process:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “The works of the exhibition have been created during an exceptional period that challenges people to reflect on their place in the world and \u2013 possibly \u2013 to act in new ways. The exhibition creates a space where one can enjoy enlightening works, contemplate the world right now and humanity with its dead ends, utopias and inspirers. Both on the thought and the material levels, many tones of humour and poetry permeate the works. Many of the works draw attention to the animal and plant kingdoms. Non-human beings have collaborated with some of the artists as well \u2013 there are works in the exhibition that have been produced with the aid of AI and indoor plants.”<\/span><\/p>\n The Turku Artists’ Association’s 99th Annual Exhibition\u2019s artists are:<\/span><\/p>\n Anna Aho, Jesper Dolgov, Fern Orchestra, Jussi Haro, Sini-Meri Hedberg, Rosa Helin, Marjatta Holma, Elisa H\u00e4m\u00e4r\u00e4, Sara Ilveskorpi & Sanna Vainionp\u00e4\u00e4, Kristian Jalava,\u00a0 Maria Kaisto, Mira Kankaanranta, Salla Kemppi, Petriina Kiiskinen, Iida Kilpel\u00e4inen, Jessica Koivistoinen, Lena Kuivisto, Saara Kumpulainen, Lotta-Lucia Laine, Renja Leino, Lotta Leka, Sami Lepp\u00e4nen, Nea Mattila, Eero Merimaa, Annu Mikkil\u00e4, Satu-Maaria M\u00e4kipuro, Mika Natri, Oili Puolitaival, Leena Pylkk\u00f6, Samu Raatikainen, Jarkko Rantanen, Elina Ruohonen, Marianne Saarenvirta, Jaana Saario, Jose Salminen, Silja Selonen, Johanna Sinkkonen, Salla Sillgren, Timo Takala, Henri Tuominen, Siiri Viljakka, Trivial Zero.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Turku Artists’ Association’s 99th Annual Exhibition at Iso Galleria in Kunsthalle Turku, January 13th to February 26th, 2023 The 99th Annual Exhibition has been curated by set designer and puppet theatre artist Johanna Latvala.
