Summer School
8.5.–28.7.2013
What is it like to be a photographer, when everyone is a photographer?
The exhibition is a comprehensive overview of works by today's photography students. The exhibited artists are training to become photographers and building their futures on photography in a time that requires and produces more visual communication than ever before. These photographers, who have grown amidst an intense culture of images, challenge the photographers of previous generations. This is what photography and the world as processed through photography look like right now.
Vesa Oja: Finglish
8.5.–28.7.2013
Finglish is the major photographic documentary about Finnish Americans and Finnish Canadians. It reveals the dreams, Utopias and homesickness of the immigrants, and documents their Finnish-flavoured American life.
The eight-year project began in 2004, when the photographer Vesa Oja (b. 1953) left for North America, following in the footsteps of his uncle and aunt. During his many trips, he photographed hundreds of Finnish Americans and Finnish Canadians, their descendants, and places related to their history.

Maanantai Collective: Nine Nameless Mountains
PROJECT SPACE 24.5.-1.9.2013
Nine Nameless Mountains, a work about a trip to the north, is a playful reinterpretation of the road trip genre of photography. It is a poetic and absurd study that uses geographical observations to explore distance and scale, whilst being a celebration of friendship, photography and chance.
