FIX Arena, Design Museum (1st floor)
Fee: 20/10/0 € or Museum Card
Meet the artist of the FIX: Care and Repair exhibition, Liisa Ryynänen.
Liisa Ryynänen’s work “Inventory” is a collection of furniture and building parts sourced from demolition sites around Helsinki. Ryynänen explores and documents buildings under threat of demolition, which users over time have modified. Should we question the mindset that justifies demolition based on user-made additions?
Discussing the artwork and its background with the artist is Kaisa Karvinen, curator and architect at the Museum of Finnish Architecture and Design Museum. After the discussion and presentation of the artwork, the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions to both the artist and museum representative.
Welcome to meet the artist, artwork, and exhibition! Maximum capacity: 30 participants .
The FIX: Care and Repair exhibition brings together architecture, design, and contemporary art. The exhibition focuses on the repair of objects and buildings, the maintenance of the environment, cleaning, and the aesthetics of dirt and wear. The exhibition presents museums as places of care, where collection management and conservation preserve carefully selected objects.
