Mutta ennen kaikkea jonain jota ei voi nähdä kuin hetkellisesti ja ohimennen. Joka tarkoittaa lyhytkestoista paljastamista, pitäen sisällään myös eräänlaisen "tuhman" tunnun. Minulle 'näyttely' suomen kielen sanana rinnastuu sanan 'vilauttelu' kanssa. Nyt esillä oleva näyttely on ollut juuri tätä, eli hienovaraista mutta suoraa "asioiden" asettamista nähtäville. Jota taide siis on jonkinlaisessa olemuksellisuudessaan. Tämä kuljettaa ajatteluani kohti näkemystä, että asiat joita asetetaan Alkoviin ovat jonkinlaisia 'näytteitä aineellisesta ajattelusta' - ajattelusta, joka ilmenee materiaalien esille asettamisen tapoina. Joka siis voisi myös tarkoittaa näyte-ikkunaa. Alkovi on taidetila, joka sijaitsee näyteikkunassa. That such forces do not always make their claim on us via human bodies or ethics is no reason to doubt the intensity of vitality of their calls."Īloitetaan tarkastelemalla joitain sanoja. All of this is also the world, also constitutes forces to which one might feel compelled or obliged. Aesthetic care entails caring about other things, such as paper quality, pigment, gravity, oxidization, chance, pattern, the dead, and the unborn. It appears not care directly for others because it doesn't. Maggie Nelson writes in her book 'On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint' (2021)': " aesthetic care is of a different order from other forms of care.
I think highly of artists performing 'aesthetic care'. It's not a resolution but I think it might feel like it. What did I look here if no-thing? Meaning making is also about getting lost in discoveries.īut, here I'll return to the thing 'in place': announcement of the - not culmination - but perhaps ' compilement' of acts done with materials presented in Alkovi by Mikko Kuorinki under the title S/T during the timeframe of mid February 2022 until mid May 2022. You have made them with varying level of intention perhaps, but seeking to solidify the experience they are there.Īn artwork and an exhibition as such provide these solidifications and moments for trying to grasp something because escape from these solidifications also becomes tangible. You can say that everything in essence is a constant movement, but just like returning from a holiday or a trip 'outside' (a walk perhaps) - there has been points of entry and exit. The impossibility of denying the desire for this moment becomes clear when you find yourself faced with the notion of 'termination' - an ending to your process, project or "journey" so to speak. That is the lure of a 'finished work' or an exhibition as well. Found in situations when a statement is to be made to satisfy both the audience and the one looking for a resolution (for a while at least). Proclaiming that something is done, a deed is conducted, is found in the practices seeking closure, even if it might only be some form of a rest (and) stop.

But more so something that is not in full view, nor could be but temporarily seen, in a moment in sight.Īs exhibition builds up so that the 'finished' piece is presented - or in a case when trying to evade that (that the thing in view is constantly being build or reshuffled, becoming temporally performative) - the element of announcement becomes a site of tension and decision. Something that has a hint of sinister in it. "Flashing" maybe in correlating word in English. That is perhaps best translated and described as an act when someone very briefly shows him or herself (or some object) to others/viewer(s). 'Näyttely' which is the Finnish word for 'exhibition' has for me the connotation of 'vilauttelu'. This is what the current 'exhibition' has subtly but directly been, placing "things" on view. This opens for me an avenue into thinking about the things placed inside it as samples of material thinking - thinking in materials as ways of exposure. That in Finnish is 'näyteikkuna' and could literally also be translated as 'a sample window'.
