DIALOGUES
Group exhibition
EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art
The exhibition features works from the Saastamoinen Foundation art collection that engage in free dialogue with one another, encouraging visitors to compare and draw parallels between them. The exhibition is an invitation to engage in dialogue or conversation, that will hopefully foster myriad interpretations.
Vallasjoki’s (b. 1984) work often engages with the experience of time and the human relationship to space. In Calendar (2024), he explores his personal perception of time and conventions of timekeeping. The installation evolves daily over the course of the exhibition, as museum guards move a symbol from one panel to the next each morning. As its title suggests, Calendar echoes the structure of a traditional calendar, yet its symbols and imagery allude to broader conceptual frameworks beyond just timekeeping.
