Covering the period from the museum\u2019s construction in the 1960s to the present day, the collection exhibition Primal Force \u2013 Works from the Turku City Art Collection<\/em> brings together sculptures by W\u00e4in\u00f6 Aaltonen alongside other key works from the collection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The exhibition takes its title from Aaltonen\u2019s miniature sculpture Primal Force<\/em> (1915), which depicts a forcefully advancing human figure toppling classical marble columns. The work reflects Aaltonen\u2019s view of art as a means of renewal and a challenge to tradition. Visitors can also explore the artist\u2019s life and work through a new audio play produced specifically for the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exhibition also includes recent acquisitions to the collection, such as works by Saara Ekstr\u00f6m<\/strong> and Tommi Toija<\/strong>. It is curated by Eveliina Tammi<\/strong> and Riina Tiainen<\/strong> of WAM Museum of Contemporary Art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Works from the Turku City Art Collection Covering the period from the museum\u2019s construction in the 1960s to the present day, the collection exhibition Primal Force \u2013 Works from the Turku City Art Collection brings together sculptures by W\u00e4in\u00f6 Aaltonen alongside other key works from the collection.
