Aikatallenteita // Skráning Tímans // Recordings of Time by Ívar Ölmu (IS)
The exhibition explores time’s flow through sculpture-like objects in Suomenlinna and the artist´s physical presence, exploring the feelings of the sculptures. The residency has offered space and facilities to experiment with darkroom techniques and explores the interplay between time, materiality, and perception through sculptures that act as temporal records.
Visit Nabo Art Book
The Visit Nabo Artbook is an exhibition that provides a platform for dialogue about democracy, participation, and the opportunities for young people to make their voices heard. Taking young people’s perspectives as the point of departure, the exhibition highlights questions of community, responsibility, and how people – and countries – encounter one another.
The name Nabo comes from an Old Norse word meaning neighbour and is used here as a symbol of togetherness and mutual responsibility in the Nordic Region. In the exhibition, you’ll encounter illustrations by eight Nordic artists who, in different ways, interpret young people’s experiences, voices, and living environments across the Nordics. The images portray joy and boredom, anxiety and hope, frustration and agency – but above all the right to be seen, heard, and taken seriously.
The exhibition is based on a four-year project on young people’s social inclusion carried out by the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society (MUCF). The project’s research reports were compiled into a book, the content of which has here been given a new spatial and visual form. The exhibition is accompanied by educational material in the form of the Nabo Artbook and dialogue cards linked to the exhibition, offering visitors and groups the opportunity to explore the themes and visual worlds in greater depth.
This exhibition is produced by the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society, with funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers.
