Tanja, the girls and I had a museum date scheduled so we visited the Holvi Art Museum. I usually go to museums with a certain aim to see the respective exhibition but I went here without knowing anything about the exhibition which put a new angle to go how I looked at everything. It was refreshing to read the information pamphlet just before going through the exhibit.
The art arrangement in this museum was all very modern and precise. Helena Hietanin and Jaakko Niemeli named their exhibit "Art work on light and shadow." Helena is a sculptor and Jaako is a visual artist. Together they participated in the Architecture of Lighting course at the Aalto University. I could definitely see the influence of Alvar Aalto in their work - a very rigid yet flowing Scandinavian line.
My two favorite exhibitions was the wall of light and the 60s house. They were a lot of fun to look at, especially the 60s house as it had a whole story of a family in it.
After going through this not-so-large exhibit, I stayed true to the second part of my day (operation stay warm) and made myself a nice hot cup of tea with honey along with a nice big meal. The livin up here sure is difficult ;)
