SUMMARY:Kohta Teurastamo | Afterwork exhibition & drink
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exploration of contemporary art at Kohta’s latest exhibition\, ‘Figure.’ Afterward\, unwind and discuss the vibrant artworks over drinks at Teurastamo. It promises to be an evening of thought-provoking conversations and hopefully memorable experiences. We look forward to seeing you there! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue: \n\nKohta Gallery Teurastamo inner yard\,Työpajankatu 2 B\, building 7\, 3rd floor00580 Helsinki\, Finland\n\n\n\nA bar will be chosen in Teurastamo\n\n\n\n\n\nLast Day to Sign Up: 16.05.2024\n\n\n\nFree entrance at the gallery.\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\nA few words about the exhibition “Figure” showcasing the work of Maria Taniguchi & Emilia Tanner\n\n\n\n\n\nThe title of Kohta’s new duo exhibition\, “Figure\,” is intentionally ambiguous\, serving as both a noun and a verb\, suggesting both fixity and fiction while avoiding ambitious claims. In classical Latin\, “figura” mirrored the Greek word “schema\,” gathering various meanings like outward appearance\, symbols\, and dream images. \n\n\n\nThe artworks of Taniguchi and Tanner challenge conventional figuration\, resembling monochromes and turning inward rather than outward. Instead of helping viewers understand the world\, the works assert their own presence\, blocking external views. Taniguchi showcases her ongoing ‘brick wall paintings\,’ suggesting constant renewal within a consistent motif. \n\n\n\nTaniguchi’s paintings depict a unified visual grid resembling masonry patterns but also exhibit surface irregularities\, echoing the fluctuations of acrylic medium behavior. Taniguchi’s work will also be featured at the Venice Biennale’s International Pavilion\, reinforcing her thematic exploration of “Foreigners Everywhere.”

SUMMARY:Inside the arts | Kirsti Tuokko's studio
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive visit to the studio of renowned Finnish artist Kirsti Tuokko\, whose works are part of the collections at the Helsinki Art Museum HAM\, the Tampere Art Museum\, the Wihuri Foundation\, and the Saastamoinen Foundation. Known for her innovative approach to painting\, Kirsti explores themes of human behavior\, fashion\, and visual communication through her unique artistic process. \n\n\n\nThis intimate studio visit offers a rare opportunity to witness Kirsti’s creative space and gain insight into the ideas and techniques behind her captivating works. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this chance to delve into the world of an artist who merges bold experimentation with thoughtful reflections on the human experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue: Roihupelto area – precise address will be communicate to the registrants\n\n\n\nLast Day to Sign Up: 17.02.2025\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\nA few words about Kirsti Tuokko\n\n\n\n\n\nHer works are deeply material-driven\, often created on plexiglass\, which she uses in translucent\, opal\, or smoke-toned variations. By painting on the reverse side of the plexiglass without viewing the front during the process\, she embraces the unexpected\, allowing the interplay between material and chance to guide her art. This method not only reflects her fascination with design-oriented creativity but also challenges traditional perceptions of control in painting. \n\n\n\nKirsti Tuokko trained as a visual arts teacher at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki and later took additional graphic and symbolic design courses at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her career as an artist began just before she turned fifty and she is now represented by Forsblom gallery since 2024. \n\n\n\nhttps://kirstituokko.fi/ \n\n\n\nhttps://www.galerieforsblom.com/artists/kirsti-tuokko
