Maestro Topi Ikäläinen visited the Niirala kindergarten forty years ago and took a picture of an angel figure in a Christmas play – me. I remember well that day. I had got the smallest wings and a real candle to bear. And maybe because of that I was not allowed to sing! Year after year […]
In my doctoral thesis, I studied the semantic relationships between art and old age. The art material brought out a manifold old age, which led me to set a manifold concept of art as the basis of art education as well. My study materials included Jaana Partanen’s artworks of the Sleeping Beauty series. They offered […]

In the presence of eminent witnesses, the day’s coins and newspaper, the façades of the future construction, including the drafts of the “Evolution” artwork, and the groundwork that also relates Partanen & Lamusuo Ldt’s part in the planning of the future […]
The world’s best and most truthful and reassuring, a powerful and wonderful exhibition. (19 November 2011) A fascinating, haunting exhibition!

The next days will see the final sprint before the opening of the Mental alkemi exhibition on the 14th of November at 6 p.m. at the Finnish Institute in Stockholm.

Some ten years ago our daughter was admitted to the Kuopio University Hospital. Morning and evening my architect husband Heikki Lamusuo and I walked through the lobby of the hospital and had both unknowingly pondered the malformation of the space. What should be done to make it more welcoming? The escalator should be removed, the […]
”Blue Wedding”, the final event of the ANTI Contemporary Art Festival that has found its home in Kuopio, sailed in the autumnal nature of Kallavesi with 120 artists from around the world and local public. The adolescent daughters of the artwork A Real Princess (from 2007) dived into the underwater world for hours, taking an […]
Jaana’s Sleeping Beauty exhibition set of the Everyday Alchemy trilogy has been sleeping for years. The exhibition set describes wise and active old women in silverised imaginary portraits. It deals with the frailty of existence, on one hand, and the strength of man, on the other. Tiina Pusa says she sees ”– in the series […]
In the legendary cradle of nightlife, Puikkari of Kuopio, Jaana Partanen with her science-art talk comes on stage as the warm-up to Jukka Poika. Would I ever have believed this!

My friends had driven quite a distance to see the Mental Alchemy media artwork in a summer exhibition at the lovely Piippuhalli in Savolanranta, Savonlinna.

Arjen alkemiaa -trilogia (Tuhkimo, Ruusunen ja Oikea Prinsessa) nähtiin kokonaisuudessaan Suomen Valokuvataiteen museossa 2007. Mielen alkemiaa -trilogia (Harry Potter, Matrix ja Avatar layer) on työnalla ja osittain kiertää jo maailmalla. Avaruuden alkemiaa -trilogia tulee päättämään alkemiaa -aiheisten näyttelykokonaisuuksien sarjan. Entisaikojen alkemistit pyrkivät muuttamaan arvottoman arvokkaaksi. Alkemiaa -trilogia pyrkii samaan tässä ajassa, niin arjen, mielen kuin ideologioiden tasolla.
