The art of

A group exhibition bringing together visual art, architecture, and design. Four artists or artist collectives are featured.

L'Esprit de L'Escalier is an international project that began in 2012 at Kultursauna and explores publishing as a creative practice. The anonymous artists present a version of a work they designed for the Architecture Museum's Unbuilt Helsinki exhibition in 2012.

Henrietta Lehtonen is an architect by training who entered the international art scene during the 1990s "relational aesthetics" movement. In her work Nest (reconstruction of a nest I wanted to build 6 years old), she returns to her hybrid installations from that period. Hedy Leung came to visual art through experimental ikebana; her materials often come from places near where she builds installations in front of audiences at openings. Eglė Ridikaitė has developed a technique of spray-painting through stencils and in recent years has reproduced the floors of 19th and 20th-century buildings in Vilna. The triptych Floor of the Great Synagogue of Vilna consists of unstretched canvas and reproduces the terrazzo floors of the synagogue demolished after World War II.
