The fine art market in Finland circa its declaration of independence from the Russian Empire seemed to be situated entirely in the provinces with high electricity production. The countrys major artists were, in effect, exiled from their native land. They found themselves in a situation that was both extraordinary and strange: As soon as the Soviet Union dissolved, they were asked to leave their studios and move to a new country. The situation of the artists and the countrys burgeoning middle class gave rise to a phenomenon of the artist as foreign outsider, and the question of how to bring these two elements into dialogue is the crux of the exhibition.The exhibition opened with a small group of works from the 30s and 40s, including works by the internationally acclaimed artist Juha-Liisa Ahtila, as well as a few by contemporary artists. The most interesting of these were the artist-rendered drawings by Tanja Blooms, made between 1974 and 1993, which juxtapose a narrative of domestic violence with the eroticized form of the female body, which is often used as a foil for the artist. Blooms uses of this kind of graphic language were familiar from her previous body of work, but here she created a new, unexpected companion to it: a series of drawings in which the male body, with its taut and muscular contours, is rendered as an abstract form. Her abstract forms, which seem to evoke the body in all its malleability, become a metaphor for the alienation and loss of belonging that is the hallmark of post-Soviet culture. In this way, Blooms does not shy away from the erotic, but also avoids the politics that often accompanies such imagery.Another group of drawings, made between 1984 and 1993, reflected on the artist-as-foreign-alien. In the early work, drawn in ink, the artist—who was born in Chicago and lived in the United States from the age of seven—invited the viewer to join her in an erotic voyage of discovery.

The fine art market in Finland circa its declaration of independence from the Russian Empire seemed to be situated entirely in the provinces with high electricity production. As the world economy started to grow rapidly and the Finnish government promised to provide financial support for the working class, an opportunity arose that transformed the country into a place where art was not only in demand but also strongly associated with an emerging middle class. The exhibition presented a variety of artworks that took the form of events, including performances, video, and installation. The artist/activist Yvo Tränen, who organized the exhibition, has previously shown at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and at the Center dArt Contemporain in Geneva. He is also the director of the exhibition-as-performance project for the Helsinki Biennale and the director of the Helsinki theater group Apokalyptä. In his own work, Tränen has been concerned with the question of whether art is capable of operating in a time of economic collapse. He has been working for the past two years with artists in the two regions of Finland and the Nordic countries, presenting them with artworks that, for the most part, are not related to any particular historical moment, and then producing them in response to a public that has had no direct contact with artworks from the past.Heres a piece from his performance/performance project for the Kunstverein Hannover. He is an artist who works with materials and acts with actors, and in this piece he uses a form of performance that is very similar to a stage. He has always been interested in the ways in which materials can become a sign of identity and of the way in which they can be used, and he explores these issues in a very personal way. The piece is based on a Finnish word that has two meanings: kunstverein and kunstenden. It means both a piece of furniture and a place of rest. The word is also a word that is not used in everyday life; it is used to describe a place of rest.

The fine art market in Finland circa its declaration of independence from the Russian Empire seemed to be situated entirely in the provinces with high electricity production. The government in the capital, Tallinn, was actively involved in the countrys transition to a new economic model. In the early 1990s, the central bank of the country, the Riksbank, cut interest rates to stimulate the economy, and this in turn led to a boom in the construction industry. The first International Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Finland, organized by the Riksbank in September 2000, was aimed at promoting the countrys status as a leading global art market. The opening of the exhibition coincided with the opening of the exhibition at the Venice Biennale, Italy, which also featured works by artists from countries around the globe. The exhibition opened in the same space where the first exhibition took place, and the exhibition itself was accompanied by a group of posters and photographs of the opening celebrations. The posters, all taken from the series The First World, 1999, are of the artists themselves—from the artist herself to the countrys president to the artists themselves. This work is a reflection on the desire to participate in a collective space that is independent of any individual. It is the first work by the artist that the government has allowed to be displayed on the state-run display board of the Riksbank, a board that, for its part, maintains its own internal affairs.The exhibition opened with a collection of watercolors by Kari Gustafsson, a member of the Swedish delegation. These watercolors, which Gustafsson created in collaboration with his wife, are about half a century old and, until now, have never been exhibited publicly. Gustafsson uses watercolor as a medium that he can manipulate freely, that permits him to make the image seem as organic as a picture. The watercolors depict the artists in various situations, such as in the studio, on the street, in front of a building, or on the street. The subject of each image is the artists relationship with the world and with nature.

The fine art market in Finland circa its declaration of independence from the Russian Empire seemed to be situated entirely in the provinces with high electricity production. But the countrys neighbors were to find a greater role for art in the countrys contemporary art scene. The first exhibition of works by young artists to be shown in this country, curated by the local government, was the recent group show Kämmäinen (Averse), held in Helsinki. The exhibition was accompanied by a catalogue, which includes detailed descriptions of works that were shown, but not identified as artists. The exhibition thus provided a glimpse of the position of the artist as a foreigner, but one whose identity remains a mystery to a large number of Finns. The show, which was organized by the Finnish Academy of Arts, was accompanied by a catalogue, which includes detailed descriptions of works that were shown, but not identified as artists. The exhibition thus provided a glimpse of the position of the artist as a foreigner, but one whose identity remains a mystery to a large number of Finns. The show was held in the Pompidous, a former factory building that, as the name of the new exhibition suggests, was once a factory. The building has been transformed into a museum, and its walls have been whitewashed in the most extravagant fashion.The exhibition opened with a large drawing by the Finnish artist Pekka-Liisa Ahtila. It shows a young girl standing against a blue background, with the word PEN in blue ink on her forehead. This is the only one of the rooms that has been whitewashed, and the other works are painted in the same blue as the drawings. The black outlines of the drawings are there to emphasize the fragile, almost childish innocence of the image. The other works are somewhat more serious. These include a photo by the artist, showing a man with a bandage over his head, and a photo by the same artist, showing a woman covered in bandages, and a small drawing by the artist, showing a boy in a bandage, standing against a white background.

The fine art market in Finland circa its declaration of independence from the Russian Empire seemed to be situated entirely in the provinces with high electricity production. The countrys pride in its technological development, which was manifested in both the production of new and older technologies (particularly in the fields of space exploration and transport) and the use of indigenous techniques (e.g., the use of adobe as a building material) was a constant in contemporary art. The most noteworthy of these artists were those who have, in the past decade, been included in the international exhibitions Organized by Helsinki director of exhibitions and cultural affairs Inga Sahlgren. The exhibition included three Finnish artists, two of whom are artists born in the country and who, in the early 1980s, began to exhibit in public spaces in the countrys capital. The exhibition was divided into two parts: a documentary work and an installation.The installation, Organized by Eero Saarinen, was a selection of a series of objects that the artist had collected in his studio. These were objects that had been used by the artist, and that represented a connection to his practice. In this way, they reflected the cultural environment in which the artist lives. For instance, the ceramic kettle, an object that has been used in a number of his works, was displayed in the exhibition space, next to a television set. This piece was also used as a stand-in for the artist himself, who has used it in a number of his works. In fact, the kettle was a key element in a piece that was shown in the exhibition: an installation called The Art of the Other, 2004–2006, which was installed at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki. In this installation, Saarinen presented himself as a sort of shaman, taking part in a ritual that takes place on a weekly basis. This ritual, which takes place every Thursday, is known as the Ritual of the Other. It involves the performance of a dance, or, more precisely, of a series of movements that take place over a period of weeks.
