Visual art of five Finnish artists

Exhibiting artists:

Nina Backman

Ulrika Ferm

Ola Kolehmainen

Jukka Korkeila and

Mirka Raito

Curator: Professor Mika Hannula, Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki

The exhibits range on a continuum of identity (Nina Backman’s photo series with women from her family and Jukka Korkeila’s drawings with representations of nascent sexuality) and existence strategies (Ulrika Ferm’s photographs which allow contemplation on the significance of place and situation, Ola Kolehmainen’s photographs with accentuated details of architectonic surfaces and Mirka Raito’s very individual and intimate paintings).

Another unifying factor is, most of all, the desire to do a group exhibition together – with the aim of creating a challenging and amusing visual whole which is hopefully more than just the sum of its parts.
