The name of the exhibition Structural Expressionism comes from an architectural style in which the building’s load-bearing structures and e.g. air conditioning pipes are left visible so that they are part of the building’s architectural look. The artist has applied this idea to his paintings. His paintings are built from dimension lines and auxiliary lines\, which he has integrated into the works. With the help of these lines\, you can understand how the optical illusions of the painting have been created. They not only form the work itself\, but are also its central subject. Together\, the lines also create a grid pattern\, which forms a “grid painting” work. In some of the works\, the artist has left visible traces created during the creation process\, such as the cuts caused by a carpet knife on the surface of the painting. The incisions create a drawing element in the works.

Who’s in? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue: Helsinki Contemporary\, Bulevardi 10\, 00120 Helsinki\n\n\n\nOpen to our members and their guests\n\n\n\nOrganisers: Tanja Vuorela (+358408266103)\, Juliette de Cuzey (+358452105753) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\nHelsinki Contemporary’s second exhibition of the spring season\, titled “Not Enough Room to Swing a Cat\,” features three new artists to the gallery: Anton Alvarez\, Jussi Goman\, and Santeri Lehto. Despite their shared abstract minimalism\, the trio’s approach is far from nostalgic or lukewarm. Their unique styles involve clever and distinctive gestures that reinvent beauty in unexpected ways. \n\n\n\nThe paintings and sculptures in this collective display engage in a subtle and porous dialogue\, challenging preconceived notions and expectations. The artworks collide\, creating a momentous yet elusive experience. The exhibition freezes this dynamic interaction\, showcasing paintings by Lehto with elegant silence\, Goman’s energetic compositions filled with seemingly mismatched elements\, and Alvarez’s sculptures\, which play with shapes and colors in a subtly humorous way. \n\n\n\n“Not Enough Room to Swing a Cat” boldly presents a visual narrative within a historical context. Through contrasts and clashes\, the exhibition reconciles opposites\, embracing a back-and-forth of feminine and masculine expression\, deconstruction\, and creative reconstruction of form. The artworks merge in a riot of color\, forming a dance of sweet misshapenness and misshapen sweetness. \n\n\n\nAfter an inspiring visit\, let’s head to the Winter Garden at St George Hotel for a delightful transition from art to relaxation. Nestled in a haven of sophistication\, this elegant space exudes warmth with a crackling fireplace and iconic Klaus Hapaniemi designs\, among other classical pieces that capture the essence of Finnish aesthetics.

The new name ties together the museum attractions and operations\, including the Observatory and the Art Room. \n\n\n\nThe museum’s name in Finnish is Tiedemuseo Liekki and in Swedish Vetenskapsmuseet Lågan. \n\n\n\nHelsinki University Museum Flame wishes to inspire visitors with the achievements of researchers and artists and to advance scientific literacy. \n\n\n\nThe change in the museum’s name was prompted by its new concept of operations\, which is based on a multidiscplinary and phenomenon-based approach to the exhibition content while drawing on the strengths of the museum collections and venues. \n\n\n\nThe advances of the various fields of scholarship and the University’s societal significance feature at the centre of the museum’s mission of disseminating information. \n\n\n\nAfter the renovation of the University main building\, Helsinki University Museum Flame is accommodated in new street-level exhibition facilities on Fabianinkatu\, which enhances its accessibility.
