Outi Heiskanen
8 October 2021 – 9 January 2022

The arts academician Outi Heiskanen (born 1937) is one of the most famous Finnish artists. Heiskanen is a virtuoso printmaker, but also an experimenter who questions the rules and breaks boundaries. Heiskanen is also known as a pioneer of performance art and land and environmental art.

The exhibition is curated by an expert on Heiskanen’s art and her long-time friend, Tuula Karjalainen PhD, together with the chief curator at the Ateneum, Sointu Fritze.

The exhibition, featuring more than 300 works, presents prints, drawings, paintings and installations, as well as recordings of performances from a period of more than fifty years. The exhibition also features a whole gallery’s worth of joint works by Outi Heiskanen and the artist Janne Laine.

Shedding light on the course of the prolific artist’s life is a rich selection of photographs and moving images, created, for example, by Sakari Viika, Jorma Puranen, Tarja Stranden and Georg Grotenfelt.

Välkommen till presskonferensen för Eero Järnefelt-utställningen på onsdag den 3 april 2024 kl. 10.15.20.3.2024 12:34:53 EET | Tiedote

Presskonferensen för utställningen hålls onsdagen 3.4.2024 kl. 10.15 både på Ateneum och på nätet – noggrannare information nedan. På Konstmuseet Ateneum ses 5.4–25.8.2024 en utställning som omfattar Eero Järnefelts (1863–1937) hela karriär. Järnefelt växte upp i en kosmopolitisk kulturfamilj och var en mästerlig natur- och porträttmålare som i sin konst ständigt sökte känsla och sanning. Den nu aktuella utställningshelheten presenterar hans omfattande produktion och hans betydelse för Finlands konst och för finskheten. De mångsidiga naturskildringarna kan få betraktaren att undra om den natur konstnären skildrade på 1800- och 1900-talen ännu existerar.

Tervetuloa Eero Järnefelt -näyttelyn tiedotustilaisuuteen keskiviikkona 3.4.202420.3.2024 12:34:53 EET | Tiedote

Näyttelyn tiedotustilaisuus on ke 3.4.2024 sekä Ateneumissa että verkossa klo 10.15 – lisätiedot alempana. Ateneumin taidemuseossa nähdään 5.4.–25.8.2024 mestarillisen luonto- ja henkilökuvaajan, tunnetta ja totuutta etsineen Eero Järnefeltin (1863–1937) koko uraa käsittävä näyttely. Kokonaisuus esittelee kosmopoliitin kulttuuriperheen kasvatin mittavaa tuotantoa sekä taiteilijan merkitystä Suomen taiteelle sekä suomalaisuudelle. Monipuoliset luontokuvaukset saavat pohtimaan, onko taiteilijan 1800- ja 1900-luvuilla kuvaamaa luontoa enää olemassa.

Welcome to the Eero Järnefelt exhibition press conference on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at 10:1520.3.2024 12:34:53 EET | Press release

The press conference for the exhibition will be held on Wednesday 3 April 2024 at 10:15, on site at the Ateneum and online. For more information, see below. From 5 April to 25 August 2024, the Ateneum Art Museum will present an exhibition that covers the entire career of Eero Järnefelt (1863–1937). A master depicter of nature and people, Järnefelt always sought emotion and truth. The exhibition will present the extensive oeuvre of Järnefelt, who grew up in a cultured, cosmopolitan family, and it will explore the artist’s significance for Finnish art and Finnishness. The varied nature depictions raise the question of whether the natural environments captured by the artist in the 19th and 20th centuries still exist.
