Vesivärimaalaus muosikassista / Watercolour painting of a plastic bag |
The Young Artist of the Year 2014 is the artist couple Janne Nabb (b. 1984) and Maria Teeri (b. 1985). Their exhibition " Remains of the Unknown Parties" is featured in Tampere Art Museum for the whole summer. This Young artist of the Year award has been shared in Tampere already for 30 years, and almost all the choices and award-winner´s exhibitions have been successful. This year´s exhibition is a striking experience of haphazardly collected or found objects, rubbish on two floors. On the whole this exhibition is a happy and funny experience. Sea shells, stones, pieces of plastic and glass, abondoned steel shelves and hundreds of other objects make you think about the cycle of life, everything fading out, breaking, and being temporary. The same effect has the living greenhouse erected in the middle of the museum. This vast accumulation of objects is no preserved and stored art work.
Still, part of the exhibition is more traditional art. The series of tens of meticulously done watercolour paintings of plastic bags or cardboard boxes found in the work room of the artists is especially fine (first they took a photograph, then painted the watercolour, and then made an audio file or a list of all the objects in the bags or boxes). Nabb + Teeri sees beauty even in all the coincidentally found objects and material, and there is still additional significance when these objects and material is mixed and matched. In this exhibition there is a lot to be seen and found, beauty, surprises and joy.
