I spend a lot of my life in a dark room with a projector running, watching cinema. With “Bad Boys 2: light and reflection”, I wanted to explore the reactions of light in this space. The video installation is built from two screens, one exhibiting the reactions of the projectors light hitting the cameras [...]

Dear friends, neighbours, colleagues, artists, art lovers and supporters.
The year of SUOMESTA galleria will finish with Jussi Heikkilä and Jyrki Siukonen´s exhibition on [...]
JUSSI HEIKKILÄ&JYRKI SIUKONEN
The art of Jussi Heikkilä often deals with environmental issues. His works in this exhibition are no exception. Time Out, the uncomfortable hourglass formed of two Coca-Cola bottles, contains sand from Sahara Desert. Heikkilä is an ornithologist and birds have always played a part in his work. In his imagination the notation of Ryoanji by John Cage (1985) is offering a resting place for a Japanese bird Bull-headed Shrike (Lanius bucephalus), while the collar and cuffs carved of wood measure the spread wings of Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans). The work Empty Set recalls the story of the now extinct Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius), once the world’s most numerous of bird, as told by the 18th-century Finnish scientist Pehr Calm and the American singer and performer Tom Waits.
Jyrki Siukonen presents three works from three different decades, illustrating changes in his conceptual practice. The earliest, Animal Farm from 1986 reveals his interest in language as a system of silences and negations. Memory Traces from 1996 is a small, poetic installation, typical to Siukonen at the time. He plays with materials and associations of purification, yet refuses to imply any exact meaning for the ritual setting.
Marfa 1970 is a set a found-footage photographs picturing trailers of glider planes at the 1970 World Championships in Marfa, Texas, a small town now better known for the art projects of Donald Judd. The unique 2-wheels constructions for transporting flying apparatuses stand out as strange sculptures. This work from 2011 is the first time Siukonen uses photographic medium
OPENING on Friday 2nd of November at 7 pm!

Vernissage 5.10. 7pm. Live Music by the Artist.
Millions of animals get killed every year at road-kills. In fact, it’s the easiest way to have an encounter with some of these species. I´ve never seen a live badger, but I´ve seen plenty of them dead on the roadside.
Most people are not troubled by encountering dead animals on motorways. It seems to be business as usual. There aren´t many demonstrations against motorways and the deaths they cause. Apparently if driving speeds were reduced to max 80km/h there would be much less roadkills. It´s hard for animals to understand speeds higher than that. But no one so far has seriously suggested the speeds to be reduced, or at least not on the grounds of saving animal’s lives. Saving energy yes, but saving animals no.
As a musician I spend a lot of time at motorways. It seems to me that to drive very fast is completely pointless. Most of the journey anyway is spent at the traffic jams leaving and entering the cities. One could compare it to the style of driving when you speed up to the next red lights, making the engine scream, only to have to brake and wait at the lights. Then the drivers speed up to the next red lights again and brake, and so on.
Cars and traffic are destroying our planet. Roadkills are a side-effect of that. There are more and more people and less space for anything else. On the other hand, the time of human dominance of the earth is a passing era.
All organic molecules are recycled over and over again. Are we that different from a dead bird or even the tarmac where it lies? Oil is made out of fossils and we´ll be fossils one day. Maybe that bird in the photo has literally shared some molecules with myself during our lifetimes.
I started this photo project accidentally. I was on a tour with my band and we stopped to pee. I saw two mummified carcasses of wild dogs next to the road that resembled abstract paintings. To me they were ready-made art pieces. I wanted to take high quality photos of them and print them large as abstract paintings one sees in the art museums. The art in my photos is obviously not abstract, it tells a story. At times the animal remains have been scattered over a wide area and in random order. The compositions are a result of accidental consequence comparable to Cubism.
I use an old wooden large format camera with negative size 13×18cm to capture as much detail as possible. I use hard flash to get an unnatural perception to the photos. At times I use light source from the side to accentuate the relief of the cadavers.
“Visual artist has never been my number one profession. I have always rather wanted to be a rock star. Unfortunately I can’t sing, let alone play any instrument. I’m incompetent in music and too lazy to practice. I’m over 40, which means that I’m about 25 years late to start learning any instrument. That’s a fact. But a few years back I made a surprising discovery from an old c-tape of mine, a song which I have made when I was 16 years old!” (Petri Ala-Maunus)
The Installation A Tribute to Petri Ala-Maunus (2009) is a tribute to every boys dream to release at last one record in his life time and the painting series Popular Culture Postmortem (2012) mimics every boys dream to design a record cover.
Minna Suoniemi is known for her work which discusses different social roles in relation to art history popular culture. Lullaby (2012) is a version of the many mother and child -motives throughout the history of art. In Little Red Riding Hood and Wolf (2012) the girl and the big bad wolf meet in the same character. Miss Kong (2008) shows a body image that focuses in the heavy movement of flesh. In all her work, Suoniemi is interested in human character with his/her flaws and imperfection. Suoniemi’s works examine how one’s own subjectivity is under construction as one simultaneously takes part in the creation of culture through mimicry.
As the woman wrestles with her body image and motherhood, the man plays his recording to a distant love from the faraway youth. Love Songs and Lullabies shows the human struggling in between his/her dreams and brutality.
Herzlich Willkommen zur Vernissage am Samstag 8.9. um 19 Uhr!
Welcome to the opening of Love Songs and Lullabies on Saturday the 8th of September at 7 p.m.
Koelse 101 sequencers finissage with MocTA
Saturday 25th of August from 5 PM to 2 AM.
Potsdamer Straße 91, 10785 Berlin
Koelse 101 Sequencers exhibition at Suomesta Gallery
is celebrating its finissage on Saturday 25th of August with guest performers. This celebration integrates with MocTA – Museum of contempary Trash Art, during the long night of the museums.
Association of Experimental Electronics (Koelse) has built a trasholicious installation inside Suomesta Gallery using electronics that have dropped out of consumer rotation. A space full of noisy lo-fi disturbance sound mayhem is to be expected. This particular concept is part of Koelse’s 10-year anniversary festivities.
Association of experimental electronics is a group of experimental electronics paramours. They gather old consumer-electronics and transform it into sound producing devices.
Koelse have been roaming around the world’s art-centers, galleries, wastelands and squats since 2002. They build installations, play concerts, teach workshops and party around their waste.
The “Lange Nacht der Museen” (Long Night of the Museums), one of the yearly highlights of the Berlin Culture Summer will again be celebrated in 2012. The first and unique Trash Art Museum, founded in 2008 by the Munich artist ADLER A.F. and known as MocTA, Museum of contemporary Trash Art, will also participate.
The Trash Art Museum shows works of art created from recycable materials from USA/Miami/New York, Switzerland, Austria, Taiwan, Poland, Mexico, Berlin, Passau, Kiel, and Munich. Artists from the International Trash Scene show performances, photographs, collages,videos, painting, Trash-Percussion, and installations.

There’s an Invisible Place Far Away
In this minimalistic video installation artist Mikko Lipiäinen
meditates on the 21st century’s encyclopedic knowledge production and
its effect on netizens’ worldview by dramatizing the editing process
of Wikipedia article “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”.
Encyclopedic knowledge is an essential component in modern man’s
worldview. Since Encyclopédie was published during the latter half of
18th century a vast collection of verified facts produced by experts
of knowledge invaded the grounds of earlier forms of storytelling (see
also “The Storyteller” by philosopher and literary critic Walter
Benjamin), thus allowing the producers of new kind of universal common
knowledge – the encyclopedia industry and the encyclopedists – to
control the worldview of the masses around the globe.
Wikipedia continues Enlightenment’s encyclopedia project by offering
us all the tempting opportunity to become online depended
encyclopedists, the user-producers of commonly accepted truths. More
interestingly, as a byproduct it offers a virtualized version of
Benjamin’s storytelling community*, making the battle between the
multitude of unassimilated narratives(or as wikipedians would put it,
fringe believes, original research or POV) and The Established Truth
visible in a very effective way.
Mikko Lipiäinen is an artist/activist who operates in the intersection
of media, performance and socially engaged art. He is interested in
the cross-pollination of the concepts and practices between online and
non-online worlds. In his art practice he wants to have a role of a
participator/facilitator and seldom works as individual. In his recent
works he has focused on the online worlds’ effect on activist
identities.
*Walter Benjamin writes in “The Storyteller”: “The resident master
craftsman and the traveling journeymen worked together in the same
rooms; and every master had been a traveling journeyman before he
settled down in his home town or somewhere else. If peasants and
seamen were past masters of storytelling, the artisan class was its
university. In it was combined the lore of faraway places, such as a
much-traveled man brings home, with the lore of the past, as it best
reveals itself to natives of a place.”

Painting talks with another painting. It also talks about other paintings. Together they talk generally about painting, but what do they talk about painting?
History of painting is long and to re-contextualize painting is similar to the necessity of changing the sauce with your sausages once in a while. In other words painting has been there since the beginning. The first painting was a food recipe, or you could call it a celebration of domestic and social gathering. Caves where the kitchens and homes, people hunted, ate and painted to show and immortalize their moment. The cavemen maybe were not even aware or excited about the idea of immortalizing painting as an object, but as a moment. They for sure didn’t understand the fact, that cave was providing a safe space from the light. But why did they create a painting on the wall? Perhaps as in the Allegory of Cave by Plato, they understood their existence seeing their own shadows created from the fire, while cooking the meat.
In ModernTimesTalking, Marcus Eek, Eemil Karila, Olli Piippo and Janne Räisänen gather together and fill their contemporary cave with their works of art. They all deal with painting in their own ways.

MÄKKELÄ’S TRASH LOUNGE (FIN/D)
Free entrance/Eintrit Frei
Wellcome/Herzlicht Willkommen
Mäkkelä (aka. Mäkkelä’s Trash Lounge), seit dem Jahr 2000 permanent quer durch Europa tourender finnischer Songwriter/Solo-Performer mit Wahlheimat Franken, gehört in der europäischen Singer/Songwriter-Szene zweifelsohne zu den etwas schrägeren Vögeln.
Was Mäkkelä vom traditionellen Singer/Songwriter-Genre unterscheidet ist die Tatsache, dass hier einer zwar durchaus in der klassischen Storyteller-Tradition verwurzelt ist, sich musikalisch aber immer dem typischen “ein Mann und seine Gitarre” verweigert. Da ist immer der Drang zum verqueren Popsong zu hören. Pop im allerweiteste Sinne. Pop vielleicht noch am ehsten im Sinne eines späten Joe Strummer. Hunderte von Konzerten in ganz Europa über die letzten paar Jahre haben da rauhe Songjuwelen geformt, deren Kraft von finnischen Bars am Polarkreis bis zu spanischen Undergound Clubs bis hin zu englischen Pubs bisher jedes Publikum zu begeistern vermochten.
Immer wieder bricht da der für Mäkkelä so charakteristische, von Jahren “on the road” geprägte rauhe Charme des musikalischen Einzelgängers durch der jedes Konzert spielt als wäre es sein letztes… Da entstehen live ganz eigenwillige, von rauher Schönheit geprägte Soundscapes, über denen eine Gesangsstimme liegt, die zwischen bewegender Intensität und kantigem Ausdruck eine ganz eigene Stimmung schafft.
Immer wieder bezieht Mäkkelä seine finnischen Wurzeln mit ein, da wird der musikalische Horizont ein ums andere Mal auch von der Wehmut des finnischen Tangos aufgebrochen…
Im November 2010 erschien mit der Single “Miss Hertfordshire”, ein überraschend folkiges Lebenszeichen, sowie im Oktober 2011dann das ganz akustisch gehaltene Album unter dem Namen Church Of The Blue Nun. Intensivstes Songwriting das man heute so nicht allzu oft findet…
Ob die bislang immer wieder gerne bemühten Vergleiche mit dem finnischen Musiker-Kollegen & Kaurismäki-Darsteller Marko Haavisto, Billy Bragg oder Joe Strummer noch ihre Richtigkeit haben sollte man vielleicht einfach selbst bei einem der Mäkkelä-Konzerte beurteilen – ganz aus der Luft gegriffen sind sie sicherlich nicht. Außer Frage steht allerdings das es sich hierbei um höchst intensive Konzertabende mit vielen, kleinen, sonderbaren Geschichten handelt. Musik zwischen klassischer Storyteller-Tradition, Lofi-Attitüde und zerbrechlichen Popsongs. Immer wieder aufgebrochen durch Mäkkelä’s eigenwillig rauen Gitarrensound mit dem er es versteht atmosphärische Soundlandschaften zu erzeugen.

The video installation Entropy (2004), shows the cooling down of a horse’s body after its death, recorded with an infrared camera. The original recording of 9 hours has been edited to a 25 minutes loop. In the painting-like video the figure of the animal slowly disappears as the body looses its heat.
The solo exhibition in SUOMESTA galleria will show selected video work of finnish artist Terike Haapoja from 2004-2012.
Terike Haapoja (b.1974) is a visual artist, working and living in Helsinki, Finland. Her work consists of videos, installations and performance projects, characterized by the innovative use of new media and new technology. Haapoja’s work deals with human – non-human relations and the clash of subjective experience of the world with objective knowledge of it. Haapoja works extensively with professionals from natural sciences, and different fields of art.
Haapoja’s work has been shown widely in solo –and group exhibitions and festivals both nationally and internationally (Including UM festival, Lisbon, Prague Biennale, L’Art en Europe, Reims, Insitute Finlandais, Paris, Gallery Rekord, Oslo, Rauma Art Museum, Finland, Pori Art Museum, Finland, Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Oulu Art Museum). She also works as a director and visual designer in contemporary performance projects. Haapoja’s articles and essays have been pubished in art journals in Finland and internationally.
She was honoured with Finnish Art Association’s Dukaatti-prize in 2008, with Finland Festivals’ Young Artist of the year –prize in 2007 and was one of the 2011 Ars Fennica Prize candidates. She has received numerous project- and working grants form the Finnish State Art Fund and private foundations since 2001. Haapoja has a MA degree both from the Theater Academy of Finland (dep. of Performance art and -theory) and from the Academy of Fine Arts in Finland. She is currently working on her artistic reasearch PhD in the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. Haapoja is represented by Gallery Kalhama&Piippo Contemporary, Helsinki.

Jari Haanperä uses in his light- and sound installation chairs and music stands, sound and light. The work erases not only the musicians but also the audience. The music stands and the chairs move as shades along the wall reflecting the interactive relation between the auditor and the musicians.
The installation is seen from the outside of the gallery on the street side every evening between the 17th and the 31st of March from 7 pm to 2 am.
Media artist Jari Haanperä has worked since years as a light and sound designer and done light design for concerts, dance performances, theater and opera.

Anxiety / Relief – Neue finnische Animationkunst
Anxiety / Relief is an art exhibition by the Animation Crank Handle collective. The exhibition consists of ten works by ten well-known Finnish animation artists. Artists represented are Jan Andersson (born 1973), Maria Björklund (1970), Tommi Juutilainen (1972), Ami Lindholm (1982), Reetta Neittaanmäki (1974), Kaisa Penttilä (1975), Aiju Salminen (1979), Kristian Simolin (1974), Mark Ståhle (1971) and Niina Suominen (1973). Their works have been seen on many festivals around the world.
The exhibition aims to bridge the gap between animation and fine arts. Works include an interactive painting (Shoo!), a cross stiched, interactive animation, where the motion is created through the viewers own motion (Rushed Through) and a Lilliput, trapped in a small stereoscopic box. The versatile exhibition presents also a short film of a mannequin spending a weekend on the countryside, one of a jogging Herman Göring as well as five other works.
The exhibition has previously been seen at Kerava Art Museum in it’s entirety in fall 2011. Also selected works of the exhibition are exhibited in the art museums of Turku and Pori from November 2011 to January 2012. In Jan-Feb 2012 the exhibition will be seen in its entirety at Suomesta Galleria in Berlin. In March 2012 the exhibition can be seen at TR1 in Tampere during the Tampere Film Festival. The international promotion of the exhibition is supported by Finnish Film Foundation.

Ahdistaa / Helpottaa – Neue finnische Animationskunst
Ahdistaa / Helpottaa beziehungsweise Bedrückt / Erleichtert ist der Titel einer Gruppenausstellung des Vereins Animaation apupyörä ry, an der zehn finnische Animationskünstler beteiligt sind: Jan Andersson (geb. 1973), Maria Björklund (geb. 1970), Tommi Juutilainen (geb. 1972), Ami Lindholm (geb. 1982), Reetta Neittaanmäki (geb. 1974), Kaisa Penttilä (geb. 1975), Aiju Salminen (geb. 1979), Kristian Simolin (geb. 1974), Mark Ståhle (geb. 1971) und Niina Suominen (geb. 1973). Sie alle haben mit ihren Arbeiten an vielen Festivals im In- und Ausland teilgenommen.
Die Ausstellung lässt die Grenzen der Animationskunst näher an die konventionellere bildende Kunst heranrücken. Und umgekehrt. Zu den Exponaten gehören u. a. die interaktive Malerei Husch!, die in Kreuzstichtechnik ausgeführte Arbeit Im Laufschritt erledigt, in der die Bewegung aus der Bewegung des Betrachters heraus entsteht, sowie der in eine kleine stereoskopische Schachtel eingeschlossene Liliputaner. Außerdem werden in der vielseitigen Ausstellung auch Filme – einer mit einer Schaufensterpuppe, die ein traditionelles finnisches Wochenende im Sommerhaus verbringt, und einer mit einem joggenden Hermann Göring – sowie fünf andere, die gewohnten Grenzen durchbrechende Arbeiten gezeigt.
In ihrem vollen Umfang war die Exposition bereits im Herbst 2011 im Kunstmuseum Kerava zu sehen, einige Teile sind gegenwärtig auch in den Kunstmuseen Turku und Pori ausgestellt. Im Januar 2012 wird die gesamte Exposition mit Unterstützung der Finnischen Filmstiftung Suomen Elokuvasäätio in der Galerie SUOMESTA in Berlin gezeigt.
Animaation apupyörä ry ist ein eingetragener Verein mit derzeit etwa 40 Mitgliedern. Zu seinen Zielen gehört es u. a., die Animation als Kunstgattung zu fördern und die fachliche Kompetenz der Animatoren noch weiter zu erhöhen. Der Name des Vereins lässt sich wörtlich mit Animations-Stützrad übersetzen.

Hyperfantastic traces and colours that extend over the boundaries of reality. Be prepared for an adventure, for you are sure to be disappointed. Come quick – the traces have almost disappeared. The exhibition displays drawings and an animation about the side of the thought that there is no words for. Often when working I loose myself and realize that I am merely a passenger that watches the creation of my works. The process behind the origins of an idea never truly reveals itself.

Lotta Hänninen
(b. 1984 in Vantaa, Finland) lives and works in Helsinki.
I work with painting.
I’m interested in observations of an everyday life: make up, gym pants and denim fabrics, patterns and logos as colours and shapes.
As a painter I reduce, add, colour and erase until there is left only the essential.

This exhibition at Suomesta continues the ongoing thread in Leo Koivistoinen’s work of subversion, of the apparent disparity between the familiar and the unfamiliar, of the slight of hand and juxtaposition that upsets this. By making subtle interventions into how the subjects of his pieces are received (the horror film transplanted to neutral ground, the towering pile of books) Koivistoinen reflects on the relationships and distinctions between the dramatic and the mundane, the familiar and the unfamiliar. The direct and personal approach to the audience of Koivistoinen’s work in following these ideas sets up a dialogue that relies on subjective experience, stimulating a sense of the uncanny or of humour.
By choosing to focus on horror and placing it within a context that exudes neutrality, Colour Me Blood Red is firmly located in dealing with the former. The language of minimalism acts as the ground here, representing the neutral, the humdrum, the uniform to horror’s provocation, vitality and heterogeneity.
Whilst the nature of the uncanny experience is key to horror’s success, it relies on the play on our fear of encountering the unfamiliar and unknown within seemingly safe and familiar environments. The enquiry here explores a more complex relationship than this simple dichotomy; the language, both visual and verbal, of horror and of stark and sparse minimalism are at odds with each other. What is being questioned here, to an extent, is our relationship to language. Horror tugs and pulls at our emotions, eking out as much visceral reaction from its audience as it possibly can, employing cheap shots and dirty tricks to build up tension and leave you hanging, or lull you into a false sense of security before springing its trap. By drawing on our basest fears and upsetting conventional relationships horror at its essence relies on our instincts, libidinous drives and humanity to effect us as much as possible.
On the other hand, the neutral ground of the white cube, say, seeks to effect an audience as little as possible, preferring to allow the work that inhabits it to do the talking. This exhibition then sets out to question what happens when the building blocks of the neutral ground are imbued with more visceral forms of communication, when the language of horror is allowed to bleed in to its passive facade. Within this, this apparent neutrality is shown to be as much a conditioner of our response as the drama and spectacle of horror fiction.
Other works within the show similarly look towards the uncanny, where the role of upsetting the familiar and subversion of the everyday is played out in parallel. With Stacked Books, Vacuum and Blocked Door it is our relationship to everyday paraphernalia and how we interact with them that is called into question. Koivistoinen encourages an assessment of our relationship to one’s environment and how this effects the encounter with the art work; how we treat everyday objects and what happens when the distinction between the two poles is blurred.

PREface – stories through the lens
May 8–29, 2010
Opening May 7, 6-9 pm
The exhibition presents three internationally emerging artists from Finland, Elena Näsänen, Pekka Sassi and Rita Jokiranta, all of them working with video art.
Their works are dealing with different ways of narratives and show three aspects to moving images, completing each other. Both similarities and differences are found in their works which often have a starting point in landscape or urban views, but each of them uses his or her own perspectives to create suspense and interpretations. Their methods vary from elements of traditional filmmaking with staged scenes to experimental video, constructed images and found footage, accompanied with movie-like music, digital sound or no audio.
Gallery Open from 18:00 ->
Antti Pussinen, Jari Haanperä and Mimosa Pale improvise a soundtrack to Jari Haanperäs Light projector.
Instruments: Theremin, Musical Saw and digital synthesis.
