Waste Compositions and Assortment Portraits

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

We rejoice over big and heavy matters. We are dealing with randomness, chaotism, uselessness, materia floating everywhere and disposability – the problem that can not be solved. The installations, which form as the results of our work, are feelings, flashes and extracts. Those contain natural and artificial resourses and worries. We want to slowly head to the understanding of present moment using magnifying glass and further-looking as our tools.

CONTEMPORARY ART GROUP KYLKIÄINEN

Nykytaideryhmä Kylkiäinen works as a pair of visual artists AMK Katriina Sjöblom and Kati Juurikka. Since 2012, Kylkiäinen has been making neat and aestheticized presentations, performances, sculptures and installations out of junk and trash. The contradiction between the subject and the materials and finished works is meaningful. The collective has chosen a clinical perspective for difficult topics. Things that seem heavy and hopeless appear in works as light and easily approachable, containing unpopular information. The work is content-oriented and its aesthetics are based on practical work in recycling and waste handling.
