Etsin-näyttely, kuva: Virve Laustela, Suomen valokuvataiteen museo
The exhibitions in the Angle can complement or comment on the other ongoing exhibitions or present projects or artworks related to our collections - or just the plain everyday work we do with the collections.
The collections of the Finnish Museum of Photography are preserved, conserved, digitized and studied in the Cable Factory, five floors above the exhibition space. The collections include about three million images and thousands of photography-related objects, a paper archive and a library, which can be visited by researchers with a pre-booking.
Exhibitions
In the exhibition Reinterpreting the Frame, new artworks are shown together with their inspirational origins. The roots of these works by five young Finnish artists go back to old archival images from the Museum’s collections.
Exhibitions
Slow Art Moment Exhibition encourages to look art slowly. So give a moment to the art work, breathe deeply, sit down and relax.
Exhibitions
How did the civil war look like for a young female photographer in Helsinki in 1918? Tyyne Böök had a popular photographic studio in a worker’s district to the north of the Pitkäsilta bridge. Elsa Sillman was a medical student and an amateur photographer. When the war erupted, both women grabbed their cameras.
Exhibitions
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the building stock of Helsinki was modernised, as old buildings were frantically torn down to give way to new ones. For a period of two years, the photographer Matti Koivumäki (born 1950) spent time exploring his childhood home district and documented the Puu-Vallila area of wooden buildings, which was threatened with being condemned due to changes in town planning. The photographs in the exhibition are original gelatin silver prints from the years 1974–1976. The exhibition is on view at museum's collection corner Kuvakulma.
