LINTUKOTO
Näyttely Harakan saaren Kasematti IV -näyttelytilassa
18.8 – 20.8.2017, klo 12:00 – 17:00
Avajaiset 17.8. klo 17 – 19:00. Tervetuloa!

Lintukoto on kolmen taiteilijan, isän ja sisarusten yhteisnäyttely. Kari Yli-Annalalla on ollut Harakan taiteilijatalossa työhuone usean vuoden ajan ja Into ja Rori Vallinharjut ovat viettäneet siellä kesiä lapsesta asti. Saari on oma maailmansa kallioineen, mäkineen ja soppineen. Sieltä katsottuna kaupunki ja tavallinen elämä on yhä lähellä mutta koskemattomissa, merivirran takana. Muuttuuko lapsuuden lintukoto kun sen yllä lentää hävittäjiä? Voiko saari säilyä turvapaikkana yhä turvattomammalta tuntuvassa maailmassa?

KASEMATTI IV: ETUTILA

Into Vallinharju: KIEPIT (2017), 3D-mallinnukset (valokuvatulosteet)
Abstraktit muodot kieppuvat muodot muistuttavat pesän tai suojan ideasta. Niin eläimet kuin linnutkin muotouttavat ympärilleen niitä suojaavia tiloja, ja onhan ihmisilläkin omat pesäkolonsa.

Rori Vallinharju: SAARI (2017), installaatio
Pienoismalli kartoittaa itselle tärkeän paikan, ikuistaa muistot veistokseksi. Suurin osa mallista on rakennettu syksyllä 2016, mutta rakennukset on tehty kesällä 2017 paikan päällä Harakan saaressa. Lattialla oleva lasi on Harakan rannoilta kerättyä meren hiomaa lasia.

KASEMATTI IV: KESKITILA

Kari Yli-Annala: KAHVISAARET (2017), installaatio
Installaatiossa nähdään kaksi toisiaan vastapäätä olevaa tuolia sekä pöytä, jonka elävä pinta muistuttaa merta. Pöydän keskellä on kaksi kahvisaarta sekä kaksi imupilliä. Näytölle pysähtynyt glitch-kuva on Harakan yllä järjestetystä hävittäjien lentonäytöksestä. Teos muistuttaa niistä vaikutuksista jota pieneltä tuntuvilla teoilla puhaltamisesta napin painallukseen on ympäristöön.

KASEMATTI IV: TAKATILA (käynti nurkan takaa ulkoa)
Kari Yli-Annala: PALAVA SYDÄN (2017), maalaus
Näyttelytilan takakäytävässä on lisäksi esillä Yli-Annalan maalausinstallaatio “palava sydän”.

ÄÄNITILA
Näyttelyssä soi Into Vallinharjun äänimaailma, noin viiden minuutin luuppina soiva sävellys, joka heijastelee näyttelyn erilaisia maailmoja.

Poetics of the Real, Politics of the Self

Peter Weiss and experimental cinema, 1949 – 2016

in Harakka island auditorium, Helsinki, 13.8.2017, 12:00 – 22.00

ABOUT THE EVENT

Peter Weiss (1916 – 1982) is best known for his writings and theatre plays, with his novel The Aesthetics of Resistance being one of the major works of German literature of the 20th

century. Weiss, however, started his artistic career as a painter, and in the 1950s he was primarily a filmmaker. His filmic oeuvre comprises experimental and documentary shorts as

well as two feature length films. Marked by personal economical crisis and an exhausting search for artistic expression and recognition, this period in the life of Peter Weiss characterizes the transition from a introspective view inspired by surrealism to the

engagement with social and political reality.

Weiss' interest in film began with writing reviews for Swedish newspapers. His theoretical reflections resulted in the 1956 book Avantgardefilm, which is among the first books of its kind: Through the analysis of a subjective choice of experimental films—from the 1920s to the post-war avant-garde—Weiss elaborates on the poetic power of the medium and its capacity to discover new audiovisual worlds.

Poetics of the Real, Politics of the Self takes Weiss' work with film as a direct and discursive vantage point. By thematizing inner conflict, alienation and family relations, time, space and

social discipline, body and identity as well as modern urban living and resistance, the selection of Swedish and international short films from 1949 to 2016 discusses the relationship between aesthetic and political subjectivity.

Each of the three programs is followed by a conversation with the audience. (F.W.)

……………………………..

Also, we recommend warmly the artist Lydia Moyer’s screening one day before, Saturday 12.8., 14:00-16:00 in the same place!

Lydia Moyer (US):

The Forcing no. 2 (7 min)

Paradise (57 min)

Film screening and interview with the artist.

Harakka Artists’ House, 2nd floor Auditorium. Free entry.

The Forcing no. 2 (7 min)

Begun in the wake of recent (and ongoing) unrest in Ferguson, MO, The Forcing (no. 2) is a meditation on power and the longing for deliverance in contemporary America. It combines original sound and video with appropriated content, observing no hierarchy of image quality or authorship.

Paradise (57 min)

Made over the course of eight years, Paradise is an essay film that examines loss as it is written – or in many cases unwritten – on the land. Weaving between the poetic, the speculative and the personal, its ultimate focus is ownership and community in America and

the tolls those ideas have taken on the places we have made, imagined, and let go.

Lydia Moyer is a visual artist and media maker who lives and works in central Virginia, USA. Her work approaches documentary and journalistic concerns through the lens of art, collecting and manipulating archival, appropriated and original material to investigate the expressive potential of non-fiction. Working between moving images, photographs, and writing over the past ten years, she has produced a feature length video poem, over a dozen

shorts videos, and numerous artist’s books, some of which are collaborations with other writers. She is on the faculty of the art department at the University of Virginia.
