website offers tips on concerts, exhibitions, films and theatre performances.<br />
Eeva-Leena Eklund’s paintings always have<br />

talented creators of performances with<br />
long international careers.<br />

Ekström &<br />
Tammi: Biblion •<br />
SAARA Ekström and Eero<br />
Tammi’s new video installation<br />
Biblion (2019) will premiere<br />
in the media space of the<br />
Kosketus (Touch) exhibition<br />
this autumn. Biblion examines<br />
the book as a phenomenon<br />
and dives into its hypnotic and<br />
layered substance as a carrier<br />
of ever-changing, growing and<br />
disappearing knowledge. The<br />
weight of the books that end<br />
up in libraries, second-hand<br />
bookshops, storage and landfill<br />
sites is also the weight of our<br />
history, as well as our heritage<br />
– an invaluable treasure for one<br />
person and an unnecessary<br />
burden for another.<br />

Vasara ja<br />
Nauloja ♥<br />
VASARA ja Nauloja (Hammer and<br />
Nails) is an in-depth peek into<br />
musician Göstä Sundqvist’s life<br />
and music. During the performance,<br />
Gösta ponders on his<br />
life: his youth, football, working<br />
as a janitor, how he created his<br />
songs and what’s going on in<br />
the world – flavoured with his<br />
distinctive humour. Gösta is<br />
played by AJ Keskinen, a man<br />
who looks almost identical to<br />
Gösta.<br />

Life as We<br />
Know It ♦<br />
TWO artists imagine six potential<br />
directions that life could take<br />
them. These directions are<br />
bumps in the road coloured<br />
by ideologies and lifestyles:<br />
various routes where wonder<br />
and repetition, coincidences<br />
and choices, fiction and reality<br />
cross paths. Life as We Know It<br />
examines continuous change,<br />
the future and the unexpectedness<br />
of life. The ability to create<br />
something new also requires<br />
the ability to grow and renew<br />
throughout your life. How do<br />
we recognise change, let alone<br />
steer it?<br />
