Antithetical Time - Serena Morina
3.-19.5.2024
Opening / Avajaiset 3.5.2024 18:30 - 20:30
"Antithetical Time is a contradictory reminder of us living now but who can only refer to the past or to the future which do not exist."
Serena Morina has always been fascinated by the esoteric world and through her art is playing with the notion of time in a dreamlike way.
The exhibition shows Serena's full collection: The first series "Through foreign eyes", marks the beginning of her style as hyperrealism. Telling of her travel, Serena combines the past and the present. Following is the series "Fade", in which you can recognise a change of style and a very powerful sense of mysticism where she represents moments of life in a blurry perspective. As her latest series we find "Metamorphosis", a sequence of paintings that speaks about the soul through the grief which ultimately finds peace and self-consciousness; here Serena is again going back to hyperrealism with a hint of transcendence in a fairly disturbing composition. The artworks are all connected to the time in different ways: Time as evolution. Time as frantic people against the present moment. Time as inescapable prison of thoughts.
Serena works with oil colours on extra-fine texture cotton canvas from Italy. The artworks frame are self built.The latest paintings are framed with ropes, a self taught method which does not have only an aesthetic purpose, but it has got a canvas tension mechanism to be considered integral part of the painting.
"What do you see?"
At the exhibition there is an interactive painting that gives free imagination to the visitors. During the exhibition people are invited to write, on a small notebook, what they see in the painting, opening the doors to creativity and fun!
Part of the exhibition includes artist's self printed tote bags and clothing with her original design.

RAW Relational Art Week 2020
​
10th to 16th of August
every day a different program 16:00 – 20:00
Myymälä2 is proud to present RAW – Relational Art Week.
RAW started in 2019 and it is a part of the yearly activity produced and curated by Myymälä2.
This year’s concept revolves around the challenge of sparing energy in an urban context. During one week our day to day operations and our program will be carried out without the use of electricity. Entering the space the public will meet a surreal atmosphere, oscillating between ancient scenery or perhaps an anticipation of future situations. For the time they are present at the gallery the public will be gently involved in this experiment.
What is the degree of compromise or radicalization one is able to accept?
The program does not pretend to solve the emergency related to waste of energy and its negative impact on the environment, nor does it pretend to set an example for others. It is an attempt to delve into the contradictions of the human condition in an interesting and sometimes hilarious or absurd frame.
Invited artists and schedule:
​
10.8 Koelse
11.8 Jan Lütjohann // Vishnu Vardhani Rajan.
12.8 Ingrid André and Gabriele Goria // SEA Foundation.
13.8 Tomasz Szrama // Irina Mutt.

15.8 Ramina Habibollah.

Edwina Goldstone and Serena Morina present their works on the Process Wall.
​
Free entrance with limited places.

The project of Harrie Liveart is supported by Kone Foundation.
