The city of Kuopio has several important twin cities around the world. A few years ago Jaana and I presented to a large delegation of Shanghai’s Pudong visiting Kuopio the exhibition we had realised in the Finnish pavilion of the Shanghai world fair in 2010. The exhibition received as many as 5.7 million visitors. In […]
Dance pursuits involve glittering sequins, a touch of glamour and a bit of old tradition. Surely, they also involve good music and pleasant togetherness. If already the training environment includes and makes possible one of those things, everything is almost perfect. PalatsiStudiot, of Suomen Tanssistudiot Oy, in downtown Kuopio is near that perfection for dance enthusiasts. […]
In the early summer, we were in expectant feelings, when the Pa-La team was to participate for the first time in the beach volley competition organised by Trust Kapital. A small idea got wings, when more and more people decided to participate in the competition. The practical implementation of the idea was a bit more […]

It is now exactly five years since we started drafting a proposal for the architectural invitation competition of the Kuopio University Hospital (KUH) main entrance hall and sampling spaces.

”A modern-day Leonardo da Vinci, Jaana Partanen dives inside man in her art.” Karjalainen / Kimmo Nevalainen, 20 April 2013. ”The visually impressive artworks wink at you and enchant you. They are also portraits of the people appearing in them.” Kaleva / Leena Kangas, 27 January 2013. ”Man is as such a miracle and the […]
A couple of years ago I wrote the book Äidin sylissä ja muita kuvakulmia äitiyteen (In mother’s arms and other aspects of motherhood, Atena 2011). In it I examined maternity through the visual arts. It was much easier to find idealised mother images than ordinary ones. To my disappointment, at the time of writing I […]
Places of leisureliness “Baden-Baden” is the opposite of efficiency. It transports the mind into relaxation, and that is exactly what is needed for recuperation. Presence and caring. A physician who has the patience to listen and a patient who can relate are needed in a hospital. Baden-Badens in which you can linger for a moment, […]

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.
