Summer 2015 has been relatively busy: staying on the countryside out of the reach of "modern civilization" (= Internet) has prevnted the updating of this blog! Gardening is, however, a perfect alternative for spending time with PC in the city.
Sorry to say: I have been very inactive in arts from May to August. But the construction of the annual KOPRU exhibition woke me to select five works of my own, one of them even from the year 2000!
Wanha Woimala ("Old Power Plant") served as our exhibition hall again. I cannot image a better site for our works - silent, big windows, not too hot or cool - and all the environment on the Vaajakoski channel area is most interesting.
Hanging of the paintings and drawings usually lasts only 2..3 hours. First to find the works which fit together, then hanging them in the right positions - and that's all. We used numbered stickers beneath the works which refer the printed lists available; this method is easier than to add all information on the works themselves. Thank you, Maija, for this invention!
This Friday, 28.8.2015, was the last day of the exhibition. Well over 900 visitors during August made us very happy. It seems that it isn't too complicated for pedestrians and bikers to step some stairs downwards to the 1st floor of Wanha Woimala and see our works!
- Next, very soon: the retrospective exhibition in Petäjävesi library in September! See you soon...
