Art Exhibition Opening Event: Statuomania

On Friday 24th of January at 5pm to 8pm

Opening event of the group exhibition Statuomania will take place at the exhibition space Halli of the Kunsthalle Seinäjoki. On the same day, we will celebrate Kalevan Navetta’s Winter Day Event in the building. You are warmly welcome! The event is free for everyone.

In the Statuomania exhibition curated by Porin kulttuurisäätö, the nature of memorials and the processes involved are being reflected: Who can claim the right to celebrated and immortalized memories and visibility? Whose memories are entitled to be heard and taken into account? Who is in charge of urban space and under what conditions can these regulations be breached? Public art reflects society’s values, but also shows the limits of its imagination.

The artists in the exhibition are Sarah-Mecca Abdourahman (CA), Henri Airo (FIN), Benjamin Orlow (FIN/GB), Oskari Ruuska (FIN), Enni Vekkeli (FIN), and Valreza Collective (Tekla Vály and Tereza Holubová, FIN).
