Helmi Niemisen<\/a> ja Eero Yli-Vakkurin yhteisn\u00e4yttely HORSEBACK tarkastelee hevosen roolia ja representaatiota kahdesta eri n\u00e4k\u00f6kulmasta.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eero Yli-Vakkurin ennen esitt\u00e4m\u00e4t\u00f6n dokumentaariteos “Hoiva ja kuri” seuraa poliisihevosten el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4 vuosien 2016 ja 2021 v\u00e4lill\u00e4. Dokumentti havainnollistaa kuinka poliisille ty\u00f6skentelev\u00e4t hevoset purkavat ihmisten v\u00e4lisi\u00e4 konflikteja. El\u00e4inten kanssa teht\u00e4v\u00e4 lainvalvontaty\u00f6 on poliisity\u00f6n laajasti kritisoitu osa-alue. Kuvamateriaalia ratsupoliisin arjesta on kuvattu eri puolilla Helsinki\u00e4, esimerkiksi Lou-n\u00e4yttelytilan ulkopuolella Vaasankadulla ja muualla Harjun kaupunginosassa. Dokumenttielokuva on viimeinen osa Yli-Vakkurin (Ore.e Refineries) vuonna 2014 aloittamaa Hevoslinja – projektia<\/a>, joka tutkii nykyhevoskulttuuria.<\/em><\/p>\n

Helmi Nieminen toteuttaa Louhun suuren interaktiivisen hevosveistoksen. Niemisen veistos on ommeltu erilaisista pehmeist\u00e4 tekstiileist\u00e4 ja j\u00e4ttim\u00e4isine sarjakuvasilmineen se muistuttaa valtavaa pehmolelua. Veistos on innoittunut taiteilijan hevos- ja poniaiheisista piirroshahmoista, jotka ovat Niemisen ty\u00f6skentelyss\u00e4 toistuva kuva-aihe. N\u00e4yttelyn hevosveistos assosioituu lapsuuden nostalgiseen ja lohdulliseen kuvastoon, kuten My Little Ponyyn. Yleis\u00f6 on tervetullut istumaan teoksen \u00e4\u00e4relle, ja nojailemaan siihen katsellessaan Yli-Vakkurin elokuvaa.<\/em><\/p>\n

Osana ohjelmaa: Luento hevosista julkisessa tilassa, jota seuraa keskustelu v\u00e4kivaltamonopolista 7.3 Loussa<\/em><\/p>\n

The joint exhibition Horseback brings together works by Helmi Nieminen<\/a> and Eero Yli-Vakkuri. Horseback explores the role and representation of the horse from two seemingly distinct, yet linked perspectives.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eero Yli-Vakkuri\u2019s previously unrepresented documentary work “Care and Control” follows the lives of police horses between 2016 and 2021. The observational documentary shows how horses working for the police de-escalate conflicts between people. Animal-assisted law enforcement is a widely criticized aspect of front line police work. Footage of the mounted police\u2019s everyday life has been filmed in various parts of Helsinki, for example outside Lou-gallery on Vaasankatu and elsewhere in the Harju district. The documentary film is the final part of Yli-Vakkuri\u2019s (Ore.e Refineries) Trans-Horse project<\/a>, which began in 2014 and examines contemporary horse culture.<\/em><\/p>\n

Helmi Nieminen represents a large interactive horse sculpture. Nieminen\u2019s sculpture is sewn from various soft textiles, and with its giant cartoon-like eyes it resembles an enormous plush toy. The sculpture is inspired by the artist\u2019s horse- and pony-themed drawn characters, which are a recurring motif in Nieminen\u2019s practice. The sculpture evokes nostalgic and comforting childhood imagery, such as My Little Pony. The audience is welcome to sit beside the work and lean against it while watching Yli-Vakkuri\u2019s film.<\/em><\/p>\n

Part of the program: A lecture on horses in public spaces followed by a discussion on the monopoly of violence 7th of March at Lou<\/em><\/p>\n
