Personal City is a group exhibition showcasing 17 artists. Defining the relationship of art or the artist to the urban space, the works in the show open up new perspectives on the urban environment or interact with it. From the MUU gallery, the exhibition expands into the public space, enlivening the everyday experience in streets, shops and business premises.
“The essential thing in a city is not so much the buildings as the people. On the other hand, a specific style of urban planning creates specific conditions for life and interaction. The personal city consists of the lives of countless people which we only see glimpses of in public space.” (Gun Holmström & Petra Martinez)
Produced by the MUU gallery, Personal City features works selected from submissions sent in an open application process by the 600 members of the Artists’ Association MUU. The works were selected by Hanne Ivars, Duncan Juvonen, Varpu Lukka, Timo Soppela and Outi Sunila. The exhibition is part of the programme of the Helsinki Photography Biennial 2012.
Welcome to the opening of the exhibition
on Tuesday 10. April, 5 pm-7 pm.
