The leisure club MOGADISHNI is pleased to announce "Right now" by
Tiina Ketara.
Ketara has been making bead works that hang from the ceiling and
expand into the room for over two years now. Tiina Ketara has been
working as a visual artist for ten years. Born in Ylivieska, Finland
in 1965, at the turn of the 1990s, she studied simultaneously at
art schools in Paris and Helsinki. One example of her glass pearl
works is the glass bead piece "La Marque du Sang" ("Mark
of Blood") shown in Paris last winter, which reflected the
light, filtering it through its red beads. Its hovering, wave-shaped
mass of beads was like a body, fleshy and flooded with living fluids.
Ketara`s journey to becoming an installation maker has thus been
a long and diverse one, bringing together many of the forms of contemporary
art. There has been the occasional reminder of her fondness for
surrealism, too, for instance, in the autobiographical "Puny"
drawings, whose androgynous young main character acted out everyday
incidents in a highly aphoristic and laconic manner. Ketara also
seemed to be using these straightforward crayon drawings to explore
various forms of communication.
In the leisure club MOGADISHNI, among other things, Tiina Ketara
will display "Stairs" which is a new pearl work made in
2002. "Stairs" consists of stairs made out of pearls floating
in the air. "Stairs" will start in the first gallery room
and continue "through the wall" to the next room.
In 2002 Tiina Ketara was awarded the prize of the Mänttä contemporary
artweeks in Finland.
We welcome you in the gallery.
