Welcome to the opening party Friday 11th of October 18-21!
“Changeful me” is a shared exhibition from artists Rag Elnyg, Siiri Nevalainen and Pilvari Pirtola about personal change in identity from three different perspectives.
Rag Elnyg works with video, drawing, performance and sculpture. Elnyg’s work is anarchistic and focused on gender performativity and the culture of the personal. He interprets gender through different kind of characters whom are repeated through out his works. Elnyg is transgender, originally from France and now based in Finland and working on Master of Arts degree at Kuvataideakatemia (Academy of High Arts Finland).
Siiri Nevalainen is a performance artist who deals with sex, death, oral fixation and ritualistic behaviour in her works. Nevalainen’s installation “Suck Suck Blow (tent series pt.3)” is influenced by camping and rave culture. Nevalainen’s process for the installation began at “Nerojen päivä & Normien yö” – performance festival Friday 4th of October.
Pilvari Pirtola is a multidisciplinary artist who works with painting, video and performance. He is known from his grim, anti-capitalistc paintings and works related to programming, computer and digital culture. In his work the stains of global capitalism are seen in the human body as a personal, comfortless state from where there is no escape. Pirtola is working on his Doctors’ Degree on “demoskene”, a programmed activistic videoart, in Kuvataideakatemia (Academy of High Arts, Finland). Pirtola will bring four self-portaits that were exhibited earlier this year at Pirtola’s private exhibition “40” at 3H+K-gallery in Pori and also a series of videoart.
