Finland, art and the Loop

What's up Sea?

 

Finland is an art-favourite of mine. Their art summers where anything can happen in large exhibitions in areas outside the large cities are not to be missed. One can go to Mänttä to experience the Finnish art scene of today in the Mänttä Art Festival which is shown in the Honkahovi Art Centre and other places close. The villa by the lake is in itself a work of art. The festival has been arranged annually since 1999 and before that it was a biennial. The festival shows almost 50 artists this summer.

 

Rauma Biennale Balticum is another fantastic exhibition with artists from the Baltic countries. Every second year the director Janne Koski and curator Henna Paunu merge artists under one theme. This summer theme is What's up Sea? And don’t forget the wooden city of Rauma.

Take the chance to see “the Loop” by Julita Wojcik, where she is the captain of a passengers ferry for a moment and creates a sublime loop on the sea in between Poland and Sweden.  See photos and read more under “Utställningar” – “Sy ihop/Zszywanie/Sew together” on the Artland website. There is also English text although titles on my web is in Swedish only unfortunately.
