In Between, the title of Bo Haglund´s latest exhibition makes reference to a state of mind where people find themselves in an interstitial or in-between space.
Bo Haglund´s exhibition comprises a series of oil portraits and three-dimensional installations. The characters in the portraits observe the gallery space from their vantage point on the wall through a number of obstacles, including bubble wrap, chicken wire and tissue. In terms of their thought process, they … Read more

In picture books and animations visual expressions are as important and meaningful as texts. Finnish illustrators create new pictures for children every day. The legacy of Tove Jansson is still alive, but at the same time today’s illustrators form a new generation of image creators. This exhibition, aiming at a playful dialogue with the visitor, highlights nine Finnish illustrators. In BY, the visitor may step into the world of Finnish illustration… Read more

Tässä näyttelyssä uudenlainen akvarelli kohtaa perinteisen monin yllättävin tavoin. Siitä huolehtivat 30 suomalaista nykytaiteilijaa, joiden teokset antavat kuvan alati uudistuvasta välineestä ja suomalaisesta taiteesta laajemminkin.
Taiteilijat ovat: Kaisu Aro, Ville Andersson, Gisela Beyer-Salminen, Saara Ekström, Carolus Enckell, Bo Haglund, Marjatta Hanhijoki, Outi Heiskanen ja Markus Jäntti, Petri Hytönen, Elina… Read more

New works by Bo Haglund and Markus Rissanen in Gallery Heino.
03.09.–31.12.2012
Helmikuusta asti Tiedekulman päätilassa asiakkaita tervehtinyt jättikäsi korvattiin kuvataiteilija Bo Haglundin uusimmalla taideteoksella, jonka nimi on vielä tekijälleenkin arvoitus. ”Mikä se on?” oli ensimmäinen kysymys monen asiakkaan huulilla, kun he huomasivat päätilan taideteoksen vaihtuneen. Vaikka Haglundin luomuksella ei ole vielä varsinaista nimeä, taiteilija itse puhuu majan rakentamisesta ja puumajasta,… Read more

Suomalaisen nykytaiteen näyttely tukeutuu antiikin filosofi Platonin kuuluun luolavertaukseen, joka on saanut erilaisia merkitykisä aina sen mukaan minkälaisessa historian kiertoliikkeen vaiheessa eletään. Tyko Sallisen ja kumppaneiden sadan vuoden taikainen murrosvaihe rinnastuu nyt Retretin luolaston uumenissa tämän päivän suomalaiseen taiteeseen. Näyttelyn taiteilijat kiinnittävät uusilla näkökulmillaan huomion… Read more

Exhibition project in the home of national poet J.L. Runeberg, Porvoo, 03.12.2011-29.01.2012
Some works from my painting series Stubbhuvu Arboretum (2011) and a video installation will be showed in the home museum. I´m interested in exploring how contemporary art will interfere and communicate with old art, furnitures and things in the museum. In a way my paintings look old, like botanical illustrations from the past. I will remake a video installation for the exhibition.… Read more

Teemanamme on ollut säähavainto-ajatus, jota jokainen meistä on voinut lähestyä omasta näkökulmastaan ja haluamallaan välineellä. Tietyllä tapaahan “säähavainto” voi olla mikä tahansa havainto, huomio tai tunnetila, ja näyttelyteosten mahdollinen kantaaottavuus onkin luettavissa ehkä vihjeinä… Read more

Das Album
On tarve luoda tarinoita, ymmärtää nykyisyyttä ja omaa historiaansa mutta samalla taipumus unohtaa menneisyyttään. Olen valinnut valokuvia perhealbumeista, mm. perheestäni, vanhemmistani sekä koululuokasta, ankkuroidakseni työt nykyhetkeen ja todellisuuteen joka ympäröi minua. Das Albumissa olen käyttänyt hyväkseni valokuvamateriaalia luodakseni monikerroksisia… Read more
A building project in our garden in Östersundom, Helsinki, august-september 2010
In august I started with my 8-year old son to build a tree house in our garden. The house became a dream job for me, because I never built tree houses as a child. We had really fun planning and building it. It wasn´t easy to find wooden shingles (transl. päreitä / pärtor), but finally I bought some from a man in Hämeenlinna. My friend photographer Yehia Eweis photographed the house.… Read more
