Inside the Arts | Elina Brotherus
September 3 @ 17:00 – 18:00
Join us for another exclusive dip into the Helsinki art scene. This time, Inside the Arts visits the atelier of Finnish artist Elina Brotherus.
Elina Brotherus is one of the most recognized contemporary artists from Scandinavia. Brotherus’ art has been alternating between autobiographical and art historical approaches. Her early series on subjective experiences gave way to works dealing with the human figure and the landscape, the relation of the artist and the model. In her current practice she is revisiting Fluxus event scores and other written instructions for performance-oriented art of the 1950s-70s. Another recent theme is architecture: Brotherus photographs in private houses designed by important architects, taking roles of various imagined characters. Her tranquil presence breaths life into these iconic spaces of architectural heritage.
Join Inside the Arts for an intimate evening in the studio of Elina Brotherus, where we will have the special opportunity to meet the artist herself, hear about her practice as an artist, and engage in open dialogue together.
We welcome you to join us in this unique look into the private studio of Brotherus; situated in Kaapelitehdas. Attendees will receive the exact arrival information closer to the event.
