Kuvan Kevät 2024 showcases works of up to 51 fine arts students. The exhibition will be spread across the Kuva/Tila gallery, other floors of the Mylly building and outdoor spaces around the Sörnäinen campus: the massive empty lot next on Haapaniemenkatu will create an exceptional exhibition space for land art, installations, and performances.
Works are arranged in the gallery space to engage in conversation with each other, while forming thematic ensembles. The viewer is taken through abstract visual expression, to the intersections of science, art, and technology, through memory and trauma, towards a speculative future, encounters between species and finally to the warm spirit of humanism.
Lecturer and visual artist Tuomo Rainio is in charge of Kuvan Kevät 2024. He has been a lecturer in art and technology at the Academy of Fine Arts since 2017. His work is based on the idea of art as a dialogue – a multivoiced conversation that takes place between artists, works, spaces and audiences.
Events
There will be performances, presentations, and guided tours throughout the duration of the exhibition. On the Event Day, Saturday 18 May, we will be hosting a number of performances – welcome! No pre-registration is required and all events are free to attend.
