I FEEL, FOR NOW
Art moves us, or not, in ways that we ourselves do not always quite understand, let alone knowing how to put them into words. I feel, for now is Amos Rex’s first exhibition of works from its own collections on this scale, and takes us through the art into emotions. The more than a hundred artworks chosen for the exhibition carry us from isolation to empathy, from ecstasy to nostalgia. The wide-ranging exhibition I feel, for now, will show works from the collection made by more than 70 artists from the 1960s up to the present.
JOSEFINA NELIMARKKA: THE CLOUD OF UN/KNOWING
Josefina Nelimarkka’s The Cloud of Un/knowing lifts our gaze to the heavens. It explores clouds and their essence as part of the Earth’s hydrological cycle. The exhibition consists of new works that change in an instant, materials that stimulate the senses, and atmospheric–data-driven technology. Local weather data and scientific measurements acquired from the Arctic regions in real time are transformed into light, sound, and digital water droplets forming a subtle unity.
KIM SIMONSSON: MOSS GIANTS
Four shimmering green figures have laid down temporary roots in the Lasipalatsikortteli Square and on the terrace of Bio Rex. A haunting mystery surrounds these moss giants, some of the Finnish sculptor Kim Simonsson’s largest works to date. The giants form a fantastical band of travelers, inviting us to question, dream and imagine in the fearless way of children.
