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 lens directly, the other consisting of the light-play of reflections in the room resulting from the changes in light on the screen itself. The accompanying sound is created through modified recordings of the projector running. The techniques used to be able to capture this play of light were all in-camera, including use of negative filter, “cartoon look” and varying extreme ISO speeds.

During the two years I`ve been limiting drawing to basic shapes like square, triangle, and circle forms. I have used architecht stencils, templates, where these basic forms repeat in different sizes. I made picture series “Shaped World, Templates”, which consist shaped cities, nature and it`s animals. I bring to the exhibition only few of these sharp line stencil drawings, because I wanted take it forward. I´m loosing it up little bit repeating form-drawings with brushes and inks. In these pictures, I think, still have the same angular look which was my first idea. It is interesting how in every thing people can first build things with basic geometric shapes, or other way around, people can simplify things to these basic forms.

Painting is a form of communication. At best a painting is a thought so well formed that it travels via emotions. I have an interest to assembly a fight of subject vs. painting into a canvas. When i paint I try and apply a strong hand of natural selection in to the process keeping in mind that from a good subject one can make a bad painting and vice versa. Fight at best is a real cultivating process, without a fight there is no evolution.

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 the 22nd of December. New exhibition will open 9th of January 2013.

Before that we want to wish you Merry Xmas and all the best for coming year!

Am 22. Dezember beenden wir unser diesjähriges Ausstellungsprogramm mit der aktuellen Ausstellung von Jussi Heikkilä und Jyrki Siukonen.

Ab dem 9. Januar 2013 wird unsere neue Ausstellung zu sehen sein.

Wir wünschen Ihnen frohe Weihnachten, alles Gute für das kommende Jahr und einen guten Rutsch.

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.
