VERNISSAGE 4.11. 18-21
Dryness of eyes, steaming of glasses, or dirt on the window, blurs the field of vision and transforms what is seen into something out of focus and uncertain.
Blur Experiments II is part of an ongoing series of works by Ida Palojärvi. It explores the way we perceive things, in which the viewing experience is altered by blurring the boundaries between the familiar and the unfamiliar, or challenged by restricting the visibility of objects on display. The first part of the series was shown in 2019 at ID:I Gallery, Stockholm and at Kurant Gallery, Tromso.
Ida Palojärvi (b. 1981) is an artist graduated from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts who lives and works in Helsinki. The on-site installations she constructs investigate the limitations and interferences of our perception and propose new ways of experiencing. She has exhibited e.g. at Turku Art Hall, HAM-Gallery, Galerie Anhava and Huuto-galleria. She is an artist-member and curator at Gallery Oksasenkatu 11 Helsinki.
The exhibition is supported by Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
