----------------
Titanik Gallery's fall 2011 theme is 2012.

The theme 2012 leads first of all of course to the question about Turku's future after the European Capital of Culture year 2011. But on a more general level the theme asks how sustainable and durable art is.

The chosen exhibitions will be published in a booklet, in which the theme will be intensively discussed. There will also be guest writers writing about the theme. You can download the latest publication as a pdf-file on

The exhibition rent for a bit more than three weeks is 1200 €. We have ceased to print and send invitation cards.

TOK JA ARTE RY YHTEISTYÖSSÄ HOTELLITAIDEPROJEKTISSA:

ARTE HAMBURGER BÖRSISSÄ VUODEN 2011
TOK:n ja Turku 2011 Euroopan kulttuuripääkaupungin aloitteesta syntynyt yhteistyöhanke ARTE ry:n kanssa käynnistyy Sokos Hotel Hamburger Börsissä perjantaina 14.1. klo 15.00

JUHAN HUONE – A ROOM WITH JOHN on projekti, joka esittelee turkulaista aikalaistaidetta Börs
Bar & Café:ssa sekä tapahtumakohtaisesti muissa hotellin tiloissa. Ohjelmisto on avoin kaikelle visuaaliselle taiteelle mediataiteesta maalauksiin ja live-art esityksiin. Ideana on paitsi esitellä taidetta, myös pysähdyttää, yllättää, hämmentää ja kommentoida kulttuuripääkaupunkivuotta keskellä Turun perinteikkäintä hotelli- ja lobby-bar elämää. Samalla tarjotaan hotellin käyttäjille konkreettisia viipaleita turkulaisesta taidekentästä. Vuoden mittaan projektia on tarkoitus laajentaa myös mm. hotellin info-TV-kanaville.

Tavoitteena on jatkuvaluonteinen ja eräänlainen kulttuuripääkaupunkivuoden mukana elävä taideprojekti, jonka ohjelmistoa kehitetään vuoden mittaan. Näyttelyiden peruskesto on n.5-6 viikkoa, live-art esitykset ovat kertaluonteisia. JUHAN HUONEESSA järjestetään jatkossa myös keskustelutuokioita ajankohtaisten taiteilijoiden kanssa.

Koko kuva – Arte 50 vuotta
29.1.–2.5.2010 >>>

Wäinö Aaltosen museon näyttelyvuosi käynnistyy vireän keski-ikäisen taiteilijaseura Arten 50-vuotisjuhlilla ja näyttelyllä Koko kuva. Näyttely tarkastelee Arten historiaa ja toimintaa viiden vuosikymmenen ajalta. Mukana on liki 200 teosta noin 80 artelaiselta taiteilijalta.

Arte perustettiin vuonna 1960 tilanteessa, jossa turkulaiset kuvataiteilijat olivat turhautuneet Turun Taiteilijaseuran toimintaan. Arten perustajajäsenet kokivat, ettei monia eri taiteenaloja edustanut Turun Taiteilijaseura kyennyt ajamaan kuvataiteen asiaa.

Vuonna 1984 Arte perusti ensimmäisen oman galleriansa Joe’sin Läntiselle Rantakadulle.Galleria toimi puolitoista vuotta. Vuodesta 1988 eteenpäin Arten galleriana on toiminut Galleria Titanik Itäisellä Rantakadulla.

Arte toteutti monia poikkitaiteellisia hankkeita ja taidehankkeet laajenivat ulos gallerioista. Arten 2000-luvun toimintaa ovat leimanneet monet yhteis- ja kaupunkitaideprojektit kuten Polis ja Virasto (2001, 2003). Juhlanäyttelyssä 2000-lukua käsittelevään osaan toteutettu Paketti-installaatio jatkaa näitä Arte ry:n yhdessä tekemisen perinteitä.

Koko kuva -näyttelyn teosvalinnasta vastaavat Arten nimeämät 7 taiteilijakuraattoria Suvi Aarnio, Minna-Maija Lappalainen, Reino Koivula, Harro Koskinen, Kimmo Ojaniemi, Visa Suonpää ja Sanna Syvänen yhteistyössä museon kanssa. Näyttelyn voi nähdä tarkastelevan myös kuratoinnin käsitettä, koska jokainen kuraattoreista on lähestynyt omalla ja toisista hieman poikkeavalla tavalla omaa vuosikymmentään. Anneli Nygren on lisäksi toteuttanut useita videokoosteita Arten historiaan liittyen.

Näyttelyyn liittyy monipuolisesti oheisohjelmaa kuten keskustelutilaisuuksia, performansseja, koko perheen työpajoja ja taiteilijatapaamisia.

Arte’s 50th anniversary exhibition
29.1.-2.5.2010

The Wäinö Aaltonen Museum’s exhibition year starts by celebrating the 50th anniversary of the
active middle-aged art association, Arte, with the exhibition The Big Picture. The exhibition reviews Arte’s history and activities over five decades. There are almost 200 works on display by some 80 Arte members over five decades.

The Big Picture – Arte’s 50th anniversary exhibition 29.1.–2.5.2010

Arte was founded in 1960, in a situation where Turku artists were frustrated with the activities of the local artists’ association, Turun taiteilijaseura. Arte’s founder members felt that the association, which represented many different fields of art, was unable to give sufficient support to the visual arts.

In 1984 Arte founded their first own gallery, Joe’s on Läntinen Rantakatu street. The gallery operated for one and a half years. From 1988 on, Galleria Titanik on Itäinen Rantakatu served as Arte’s gallery.

Arte’s activities in the 2000s have been characterised by many joint and City art projects,
such as Polis and Virasto (2001, 2003). The Paketti (Package) installation, created for the part of the anniversary exhibition covering the first decade of the 21st century, continues Arte’s traditions of cooperation..

Responsible for the choice of works for The Big Picture exhibition are 7 artist-curators appointed by Arte – Suvi Aarnio, Minna-Maija Lappalainen, Reino Koivula, Harro Koskinen, Kimmo Ojaniemi, Visa Suonpää and Sanna Syvänen, cooperating with the Museum. The exhibition can also be seen as examining the concept of curatorship, as each of the curators has approached their own decade from an individual, slightly different angle. In addition, Anneli Nygren has produced ´several video compilations relating to Arte’s history.

In connection with the exhibition there will be a versatile programme of events, including
discussions, performances, workshops for the whole family and meetings with artists.

876 Shades of Darkness
Darkness holds power, intimacy and warmth.

876 Shades of Darkness consists of several smaller undertakings, which portray darkness as a positive Nordic resource. Darkness can also be enjoyed and it can bring one a sense of calm.

The central idea is that culture belongs to everyone and everywhere: culture shall be brought into the streets, the parks and away from the centre. The majority of the events will have no admission charge in order to ensure that anyone and everyone that is interested is able to participate.

The programme involves art, science, theatre, working together and retreating for quiet time on one's own. Each portion of the project emphasises the beauty, special qualities and positive power of darkness and silence. The overall project is divided into three themes: Experiencing darkness, Lighting up the dark and Shadow of darkness.

Artists' Association Arte • Itäinen Rantakatu 8, 20700 Turku, Finland

Artists' Association Arte was founded in 1960. Originally formed as an exhibition group with vigorously expressed opinions, it has turned into an association of professional visual artists operating mostly in the city of Turku, Finland. The main purpose of the association is to promote visual arts in the city as well as to improve the professional, social and economical benefits of the artists living in Turku and the nearby areas. Arte actively takes part in the art discussions and brings up questions which are important for the artists. The social situation of the artists, studio situation in Turku, communal politics and art purchase of the institutions and museum as well as are important matters.

Artists’ Association Arte arranges interesting exhibitions and cultural events. Gallery Titanik,
which Arte has run since 1988, acts as an important centre for the association. In addition to that, the association runs the international media art residency Sumu. Arte organizes many projects, workshops and events, not just in the gallery space but often out in the city as well.

At the moment Arte Association has about 90 members, all professional artists, mostly living in Turku but some as far away as in Vietnam and Australia. Arte consists of e.g. painters, printmakers, sculptors, performance artists, animators, video artists and photographers. Many of Arte’s members are well-known both nationally and internationally, but the association also provides good opportunities for young promising artists to develop their careers. Arte is an active artists’ association, and although it’s already middle aged, its mind is still fresh and young!

Dennis Tan: Splits of Light

Presentation on Thursday
11th of August at 17.00
Opening on Thursday 11th of August at 18.00
Welcome!
'

Being a sound artist, I move between the fields of experimental music to sound art. For me, sound is both material and form. It is ready to be deformed and to be reform. I am interested in the materiality of sound and giving my pieces a physical voicing. For the exhibition Splits of Light, I will present sound sculptures associated to the somatic senses and the human body. Prior to the exhibition opening, I invite you cordially to a presentation of my sound works and music in Titanik Gallery.

Dennis Tan is a sound artist and musician living and working in Germany. He was born in Singapore and moved to Bremen, Germany to study fine arts. As an artist, he works with sound sculptures, installations and creates strategies for performances. As a musician one would describe his music as sine waves mediation, noises and abstract.

Sedan 2006 har konstnärsföreningen ARTE erbjudit residenser i ny media residensen SUMU. SUMUs residens program är menat för internationella konstnärer inom ny media, som arbetar med ny teknologi/samtidskonst. Konstnärerna får till sitt förfogande en ateljé för 1-3 månader. Ateljén finns i samma lokal som föreningens galleri, Titanik, och boende ordnas i Åbo Akademis gästhus, inte långt ifrån residensen. Resor och andra levnadskostnader ingår inte i finansieringen för programmet. Residens konstnärerna har möjlighet att ordna en utställning i samband med residensen, endera i själva SUMU ateljén eller på ARTEs hemsida, och de får ordna flera workshops och allmänna screenings under residensperioden om de så önskar.
