On 22 November 2019, WAMX will open the video installation Lichen Hunting in the Lillomarka<\/em> by British visual artist Rebecca Birch (b. 1978).

It narrates personal and landscape histories, traced via lichens found growing in the Lillomarka forest in Oslo, in Lancashire, UK and the West Coast of Scotland. The installation explores how we become more intimate with our surroundings, and ultimately ourselves, through long-term actions to protect and conserve. In focus are two groups of women, one retrieving and performing traditional Scottish folk songs sung during the waulking of tweed; the other involved in a protest against shale gas extraction in a field outside Blackpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This photographic exhibition captures prison interiors in Israel, Germany and the former Soviet Union.

Jukka Rusanen<\/strong> 10.06.\u201314.08.2005
The exhibition is a thesis project by Rusanen, a graduating student from the Visual Arts programme at Turku UAS. Through large-scale paintings, he depicts his recent emotional states and their peaks.

Experimental Animation \u2013 Katerina Athanasopoulou, Simon Goulet, Adriaan Lokman <\/strong>29.4.\u201329.5.2005 
The three animations on display, Agronautica, O\u00ceO and Barcode, evoke strong associations through their imagery, with the absence of a narrative being a central feature. As is common with abstract animation, actively experiencing the work offers a more meaningful encounter with art than passive observation alone.

Thematically, the exhibition explores an individual\u2019s relationship with both space and other people. In the exhibition, the imaginative and the ordinary converge through sculptures, photographs, writings and a real-time internet connection.

Miina \u00c4kkijyrkk\u00e4 \u2013 My Betlehem <\/strong>23.11.2001\u201313.1.2002 
W\u00e4in\u00f6 Aaltonen Museum\u2019s Christmas exhibition features both brand new and slightly older sculptures by \u00c4kkijyrkk\u00e4. The most recent works emphasise the use of ecological materials, joy and optimism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AnalogueTV: Screensaver<\/strong> 5.10.\u201318.11.2001
The exhibition, compiled by Estonian curators H\u00e4rm and Soans, centres on the concept of the television screen as a \u2018window into capitalism\u2019, which Finnish TV provided to the residents of Tallinn in the 1980s. The new exhibition examines the topic and the Estonian lifestyle from a politically fresh and alternative perspective.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featured artists: Darius Miksys, Eriks Bozis, Anders H\u00e4rm, Hanno Soans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saara Ekstr\u00f6m \u2013 Nursery<\/strong> 17.8.\u201330.9.2001 
The photographs and videos created specifically for the exhibition explore themes of guilt, healing and atonement through children\u2019s play. In these works, flowers are initially subjected to rough handling, only to be tenderly cared for by a child thereafter, almost as if they were patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Miettinen & Marita Mikkonen \u2013 The House <\/strong>8.6.\u201312.8.2001
The joint exhibition by two Turku-based printmakers explores the symbolic dimensions of the house through prints and Mikkonen\u2019s sculptures. The house is depicted not only as a home and a provider of shelter and accommodation, but also as a symbol of the self and the inner world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Wir\u00e9n \u2013 Inner Dogs <\/strong>27.4\u20133.6.2001 
The thesis exhibition by Wir\u00e9n, a graduating student of the Arts Academy at Turku UAS, centres around drawings of dogs and horses, a subject she confesses she ultimately surrendered to. When planning her \u201cactual\u201d thesis, the artist was sketching animals for personal enjoyment. Over time, these sketches evolved into her formal thesis project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heta Riina Saarelainen \u2013 And Suddenly It Is Evening <\/strong>9.3.\u201322.4.2001 
With their intense colours evoking a sense of depth, these large-scale artworks emerged from reflections on death. The technique of using acrylic and stains demands rapid execution, which, in turn, emphasises the transient nature of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arto Korhonen \u2013 The Teddy Bears’ Picnic<\/strong> 19.1.\u20134.3.2001
Based on coincidence, the video installation exudes lightness and playfulness, especially when the visual narrative occasionally aligns with the lyrics of the song, The Teddy Bears\u2019 Picnic<\/em>. The slides, projected onto the ceiling and depicting the performers in the video, metaphorically emphasise this lightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10th Anniversary of J\u00f6\u00f6tti Association at W\u00e4in\u00f6 Aaltonen Museum <\/strong>3.12.\u20137.1.2001 
Anniversary exhibition of the Turku-based bronze casting pioneer J\u00f6\u00f6tti Association. Alongside classic bronze pieces, sculptures made from a variety of materials are showcased, embodying a range of styles from Surrealism to Concretism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featured artists: B\u00e9la Czitrom, Veikko Karskela, Sinikka M\u00e4ki-Lertola, Erik M\u00e4kinen, Umppa Niinivaara, Maarit Nissil\u00e4, Merja Pitk\u00e4nen, Aarno Rankka, Jani R\u00e4tty\u00e4, Hasan Fuat Sari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hreinn Fridfinnsson \u2013 Ars Fennica<\/strong> 2000 <\/strong>6.10.\u201326.11.2000 
The exhibition presents the conceptual art of Hreinn Fridfinnsson, sometimes described as visual poetry. Fridfinnsson was awarded the Ars Fennica Prize in 2000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WAM Recommends \u2013 Simo Helenius – Kaisu Koivisto – Heli M\u00e4ki-Arvela – Ann Sundholm<\/strong> 28.7.\u201324.9.2000
The exhibition brings together four recognised artists, each playing a significant role in the visual arts scene of their respective regions. On display are newly created sculptures, drawings, paintings and installations made especially for the exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso \u2013 Young and Old <\/strong>12.4.\u201316.7.2000 
Picasso\u2019s concern with the fate of individuals is reflected in his drawings, watercolours, paintings, pastels and prints depicting youth and old age. In addition to Picasso\u2019s works, the exhibition includes photographs of the artist taken by renowned photographers. The exhibition was produced in collaboration with the Ludwig Museum in Cologne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hilma af Klint \u2013 Paintings for the Temple <\/strong>28.1.\u201326.3.2000 
Inspired by spirituality and spiritualism, Paintings for the Temple stand out in Hilma af Klint\u2019s production due to their figurative approach. The exhibition includes nearly 200 works by af Klint, widely regarded as a pioneer of abstract art, with several pieces being shown to the public for the first time. Produced in collaboration with Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm, the exhibition features works from the collection of the Hilma af Klint Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marjaana Nystr\u00f6m \u2013 Teddy Bears\u2019 Christmas <\/strong>24.11.2000\u201314.1.2001
The exhibition, suitable for the whole family, leads up to the Christmas season. It features a selection of antique teddy bears from the extensive collection of Marjaana Nystr\u00f6m, a Turku-based artisan, collector, and bear maker.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janne Laurila<\/strong> 6.10.\u201319.11.2000 
The exhibition presents Laurila\u2019s subdued colour palette \u2013 black, white and various shades of grey \u2013 alongside his clean, geometric forms. The untitled paintings subtly evoke urban landscapes or their details, abstracted from their original contexts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jussi Lepist\u00f6 \u2013 Men <\/strong>5.5.\u201311.6.2000 
The thesis exhibition by Lepist\u00f6, a graduating student of the Arts Academy at Turku UAS, captures the spirit of the times by juxtaposing plastic Lego figures with traditional cone cows crafted by earlier generations, encouraging playfulness among both children and adults.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miika Karttunen \u2013 PLUS=MIINUS<\/strong> 16.6.\u201316.7.2000
The spatial installation consists of nine sculptures depicting boys, crafted from mirrors and placed right below the roof windows. The reflective surfaces invite interaction, enabling viewers to see their own faces in the artwork.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marje Pellinen \u2013 Holy Cow! <\/strong>17.3.\u201330.4.2000 
Pellinen\u2019s artworks feature cow imagery printed on aluminium, fabric and plexiglass. The theme is emphasised in the exhibition hall, where feed intended for cattle is hung on the walls as part of the display.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiina Vainio \u2013 Everyday Talismans <\/strong>28.1.\u201312.3.2000 
The exhibition serves as a commentary and a counterbalance to Hilma af Klint\u2019s Paintings for the Temple, filling the museum\u2019s main halls. Vainio\u2019s stylised paintings draw inspiration from everyday mysticism and items charged with personal meaning and memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
