Anna Emilia Järvinen ́s (b. -90 in Oulu) and Eetu Kylmälä ́s in collaboratively created exhibition in Yö Gallery (30.10. - 12.11.2013) ”Salonkikelpoista sekamelskaa (Salon-worthy mess)” with mixed media paintings, drawings and sculptures talk to each other present in this time.
The artists noticed that they shared similar feelings and values when getting to know each other a couple of years ago in the eastern Helsinki, and these experiences are primal, collective and universal.
The core of it all is the message of human dignity that everyone automatically has and sentence ”everyone has the same starting point” -is a lie. Modern man ́s strange idea of separateness in relation to nature also comes to the fore.
This unadorned exhibition is full of life ́s contradictions, fear, the constant presence of death and love.

A long-lasting and partially participatory performance that explores the present and listening encounter through physical and non-physical touch. Can we find ways of caring and caring, gestures of acceptance that create bridges? What kind of culture of touching do we need to cultivate in order to have more empathetic encounters in today's world? Can we trust that we want to face each other with care and gentleness?

Yö Kekri Vol.2 is an multi-art festival organized at Yö Galleria, in the center of Helsinki from October 2th to October 29th, 2023. The event brings together different fields of art from visual arts and music to live poetry and from dance to performance art. The theme of Kekri Vol.2 is "Carnival". As a cross-cultural phenomenon carnival is a festival of anarchy, laughter and transgression, a temporary release from social obligations and hierarchies.
21.9.–1.10.2023
MÄKI-NEVALA –MOTTISENKANGAS fill the Yö Galleria with a video installation. The installation of a three-channel documentary is named PastureG28. The artist duo highlights the value of pastoral scenery as attraction. G28 is the technical term of an official road sign pointing to a place of interest.
The landscape opens up as wide open space on a summer night. Grazing livestock roars and birds give a concert. The picture and the sound ruminates and just is there. The artwork neither spells out one question nor one answer.
The subjective artwork, with the authors saying a loving good bye to the landscape of their childhoods. Adaptation is necessary, and the nostalgia is marred by an awareness of the climate crisis.
