"An expanded concept of drawing" Vernissage




måndag 17 november 2014

Cesare Pietroiusti "An expanded concept of drawing" 21.11.2014 - 24.1.2015





























Vernissage / Avajaiset / Opening 20.11 18:00

In Galleri Gro Cesare has worked with a group of students from Fine Art Department/ Novia. The concept of the workshop "An expanded concept of drawing" is to explore and experiment, through a group work, different options and possibilities for conceiving, producing and distributing drawings: repetitive patterns, preterintentional or random ways of crating images, projective interpretations of shapes, playing with the title and/or the signature and/or the caption of the drawing, imagining alternative ways of distribution and drawings made for senses other than visual, inventing specific obstructions or variations on given themes, playing with the invisible, using words or texts as elements, giving value to mistakes etc. 

The first part of the workshop will be dedicated to the exploration of these ideas and sharing information on relevant references. 
The further discussion will bring us to new possibilities, and after that we will start producing big number of drawings. 
The drawings, starting from the day of the opening, will be distributed to the public according to modalities that will be decided during the workshop. The opening itself, on the other end, rather than just a moment of exhibition will be a sort of continuation of the workshop that can be joined by interested members of the public.

Drone



Live Performance
Välkommen! / Tervetuloa!  / Welcome!
Onsdag / keskiviikko / wednesday 5.11 kl: 16:30 - 19:00

Johan Sandås har en examen i bildkonst från Yrkeshögskolan Novia (2013) och har sedan dess ägnat sig åt att utforska ljud genom installationer, performance och inspelningar i Finland och utomlands. Just nu har han ett lärlingsstipendium från Svenska kulturfonden för att fördjupa sig i ljudkonst.

“Drone” är ett ljudkonstverk som byggs upp under utställningens gång. Verkets börjar i ett tomt galleri och rör sig utåt och utforskar världen genom uphittade ljud, ekon och reflektioner. Under den första veckan kommer utställningen att långsamt byggas upp tills hela utrymmet är fyllt med ljud från omgivningen. “Drone” handlar om att lyssna länge och noggrannt, tills vardagliga ljud blir till något helt annat.


Johan Sandås has a degree in visual arts from Novia University of Applied Sciences (2013), and has since then been exploring sound through installations, performances and recordings in Finland and abroad. Right now he has a stipend from Svenska kulturfonden to develpo his skills in sound art.

“Drone” is a sound work that is being constructed during the course of the exhibition. The work starts in an empty gallery and moves outwards and explores the world through found sounds, echoes and reflections. During the first week, the exhibition will be slowly built until the whole space is filled with layers of environmanetal sounds. “Drone” is about listening long and carefully, until everyday sounds turn into something else entirely.
