In The Field of Culture
CURATOR Janne Räisänen (FIN)
ARTIST Matti Kalkamo (FIN)
“My purpose is to make art which, instead of being predigested, is hard to devour and takes a long time to digest. As for materials, I am omnivorous. In addition to bronze and aluminium I accept anything discarded, found and collected. First you take some (pain) spots of the existence or the world and throw in a hefty quantity of biographic matter. Add a good handful of scepticism and positive attitude towards life. Mix in some viewing experience with rapidly changing proportions. A spoonful of absurd humour – and the concoction is about ready!” -Matti Kalkamo, sculptor.
