Äkkigalleria 31 (eyesore)
This Äkkigalleria campaign from January 2015 went a little under the radar.
The project was organized together with a team of artists and activists from the Jyväskylä region and lasted for about 2 weeks before being dismantled by the owner(?) to make room for more advertisement!
Information about the campaign can be found in Finnish:

The organization team is considering making this an annual event.

Äkkigalleria organized 7 exhibitions this year including one (Äkkigalleria's first) exhibition outside of Jyväskylä in Vancouver Canada. This year focused for the most part on residencies and exchanges. The first exchange was for Äkkigalleria 24 where a biologist worked together with 2 short-film animators from England. Another exchange was through Mexican artist Mazatl who brought a collection of political prints from the Justseeds collective and the La Convergencia Gráfica MALLA. Äkkigalleria collaborated with Vancouver gallerist from inital gallery to bring Finnish art to Vancouver Canada. And finally through our Photoannual residency artist, Carolina Cruz Guimarey, we ended the year with a shortfilm screening organized at the university of Valencia in Spain.

Äkkigalleria 30 - Inner Nature: kansainvälistä lyhytelokuvaa Jyväskylässä
Äkkigallerian
perinteiden mukaan talvipäivän seisauksen aikoihin järjestetään
taideretriitti, joka auttaa rauhoittumaan ja irrottautumaan joulunajan
kiireestä ja kaupallisuudesta.
Tänä vuonna Äkkigalleria esittää kansainvälisen Inner Nature -lyhytelokuvakilpailun tuloksia. Mysticism in a concious body -teemalla järjestetty lyhytelokuvakilpailu keräsi ihmisen ja luonnon suhteeseen liittyviä lyhytelokuvia ympäri maailmaa. Näytökseen valittiin 18 teosta, jotka esitetään Jyväskylän lisäksi muun muassa Espanjassa, Ranskassa ja Chilessä. Inner Nature -kilpailun koordinaattoreina ovat toimineet José Albelda, Chiara Sgaramella ja Estela de Frutos. Ihmiskeho toimii elokuvien lähtökohtana pohdittaessa identiteetin, empatian, riippuvuuden, ympäristöetiikan ja väliaikaisuuden monimutkaisia käsitteitä taiteen suomin keinoin. Kahdeksantoista teosta tarjoilevat lähestymistavoiltaan rikkaan katsauksen näihin elokuvakilpailun teemoihin. |
Näytökseen videoteoksillaan osallistuvat taiteilijat ovat:
Irene Cruz Ria Green Beatriz Ros Cristina Omeñaca Javier Artero Manuel López García Argenis Ibañez Opn Studio Matti Aikio R. Sanchez Y A. Spentsas Ada Kobusiewicz Ruben Fuentes Lucía Loren Judith López Borobio Kun Xiu José Juan Martínez María Ortega Paola Correa Näyttelyssä mukana myös egyptiläisen Mahmoud Khattabin valokuvia. |
Näytökset lauantaina 20.12.2014 klo 16 ja klo 18.
Glögitarjoilu. Tervetuloa!
