Titanik:
3 rooms, with combined surface area of 101,5 m2, height 2,6 m Sumu: 1 room, surface area 20 m2, height 2,6 m
Sumu, adjacent to the Gallery Titanik, functions primarily as a studio and exhibition space for the artist-in-residence. At other times there will be exhibitions in the room. Artists can apply for exhibition with a separate application form, and the exhibition slots will be determined by the residency schedule. If no free exhibition slots remain, the room will be in constant residency use.
Spirit Centre Part of the cultural ‘string of pearls’ by the river Aura That’s the Spirit! The versatile entity of the Spirit Centre is based on the idea that it is not only a place for artists’ studios or just a place for events,
but these two together. Spirit Centre would combine these both sides which should guarantee an active and throbbing life for it.
Spirit Centre would be an organisation which springs up naturally and manages on its own. SPIRIT PDF
Anna Vuoria has become familiar with the projects which analize the picture of city life and stress the new point of view, made by the members of the Arte association.
Sometimes the artists have succeeded in paying attention in the buildings that face a condemnation threat.
Wood Workshop at Gallery Titanik from June 19th to July 16th 2006, and
Kevyesti (Lightly) –exhibition on the street Itäinen Rantakatu from 1st to 30th of July 2006
The artists’ association Arte will organise a wood workshop for wood carvers, woodcut artists and all artists interested in, and familiar with, both techniques.
The event is planned by printmaker Sirkku Ketola (member of Arte and of the Turku Printmakers’ Association) and the sculptors Timo O. Nenonen, Suvi Saarainen (member of Arte) and Juha Welling.
The wood workshop will start on Monday, June 19th 2006, and continue until Sunday, 16th of July 2006. In the workshop the participating artists will create art works for the exhibition “Kevyesti” (Lightly) that will take over the trees and pavements of Itäinen Rantakatu, the street on which Gallery Titanik lies. The exhibition opens on the 1st of July 2006, and will expand and reshape itself constantly until the end of the workshop. The theme of the exhibition is wood, which means that the works exhibited will be made of wood. In the case of printmakers, for example, the exhibited works will be the woodblocks used to make prints.
