Timo Kelaranta:
Strange love
This spring’s major exhibition focuses on photographic artist Timo Kelaranta’s (b. 1951) long involvement with photography.
As a photographer Kelaranta is a poet, a master of the abstract image and of minimalism, for whom the most important thing in a picture is its form.
The exhibition contains works spanning Kelaranta’s entire career, plus totally new, recently completed photographs.
K-G Roos – Mafia, Marimekko, Mannerheim
The journalist and documentary photographer Karl-Gustav Roos’ (1937–1976) highly individual pictures are treasures of the archive, most of which are now being seen for the first time in an exhibition.
Roos was an uncompromising idealist. He photographed people’s everyday lives in the streets of Helsinki and Sicily. In Sicily in 1959, Roos’ photographic narrative crystallized into decisive moments.
