Rien
Pori Art Museum, Pori
The extensive joint exhibition Rien - Is that all? explores worldviews and life stories filtered through ideas, images, narrations and memories. 'Although the journey is shared, each one of us experiences it differently, looking at it from our own horizon. On the 14th of july 1789, when the French Revolution was already in full swing, Louis XVI wrote in his diary just one word, rien, nothing: the hunting expedition at Versailles had ended with no game bagged. At the very same moment, the revolution rolling through the streets of Paris was sucking up the King's subjective sovereignty and destroying the structures of his power' writes art historian Arja Elovirta in the catalogue of the Veli Grano Tuovi Hippelainen exhibition.

Veli Granö's and Tuovi Hippeläinen's exhibition consisting of a film, photographs, videos and installations adds up to a comprehensive life story. The central elements of the exhibition are a model railway and the movie Island, a real time film shot from a train. In their photographs Granö focuses on everyday life while Hippeläinen is interested in the picturesque. The exhibition includes workshops. The exhibition is produced by Pori Art Museum and is part of the Visual Community Network –project. After Pori the exhibition will tour the cooperating museums during 2004-2005.
The exhibition looks at the ways in wich people construct reality and create meanings around them as well as transition of values and conceptions of the world. Individual and alternative ways to perceive reality are also examined in the exhibition.
