OPENING
Tuesday 21 November at 17 - 19
Eye-Leen fashion show, House of Disappointments.
The opening will feature a fashion performance with the House of Disappointments group. They have created outfits from Eye-Leen silk and cotton fabrics and will present them at the opening. Some of the outfits are on display in the exhibition.
Tatu Vuolteenaho is currently working on Queer Witches paintings, where he paints portraits of spiritual queer people. 30 paintings are displayed in Galleria Aarni's exhibition, and they are hung in a rainbow of colors. The work was financed by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
In addition, Tatu Vuolteenaho brings 6 self-portraits of Eye-Leen to the exhibition, and the exhibition also includes two paintings by Nadja Mikkilä of Tatu's drag personas.
Designer Jani Maunula has designed printed fabrics based on Tatu's Eye-Leen paintings. The exhibition features a magical immersive space made of Eye-Leen cotton fabric. Rope artist Tinttu Henttonen has built additional magic into this installation.
