A duo exhibition with Olli Keränen at Gallery Titanik, Turku, Finland. 

 

The exhibition Clue Binder brings together the fabric of observations created through various material experiments. Both artists are interested in leaving open an aspect of their contribution and to see if the other artist could be careful enough in their observations to be able to take turns finding the missing part to add to the other’s work. In the exhibition, the artists can be seen building on each other’s work, forming a stratification which neither could have accomplished without the other’s mind and preferences. Authorship and the dissolution of objects from the finished through the suspicious into crumbs is a way for both authors to perceive and converse with the circle of life around us. In their exhibition, the artists want to ask themselves the question: Can the unusability of a work of art create an opportunity for the viewer to perceive the fragmentation of the conflicting goals created by modern life? And from each other, could they be whole together or separately, or should they be something else and if so is change, profound change possible? In other words, can an object that scratches itself because it has set desires inside that it cannot and does not want to fulfill serve as some kind of healing or, on the other hand, a warning example to its experiencer? Clue Binder is the result of a search, alternatively brisk and at times fumbling.
