The French visual artist Marie Legros again in Helsinki!

The visual artists, Marie Legros from France, and Tuuli Luukas from Finland will show their works in an exhibition entitled ‘Conversations’ in Galleria Huuto. The two artists have been invited to Galleria Huuto by the gallery and by Centre Culturel Français. The idea of conversation is highly underlined in the exhibition.

Marie Legros and Tuuli Luukas first met in in Paris 1992, in the ENSB-A, one of the oldest and most prestigious fine-arts schools in the world. Over the years, the artists have worked in Finland and France, among other places. This time, they will hold a joint exhibition in Helsinki. Marie Legros has also worked in New York, and her artistic production includes a number of video works.

ESAT ( 'THE ESAS')

Esa and esailla are contemporary Finnish slang words. They refer to things that are confusing, or strange and undefined in a positive way.

I live in a household with teenagers. Their mutual communication is filled with slang words, often innovative and open-minded. I’m following a time in their lives in which life itself includes lots of novelty – it’s an era of free patterns and personal themes.

The installation Voodoo Fruit or Onnea tuottavat esat (’good-luck esas’) is about what I noticed to have learned working with this ”youth material”. The installation is a combination of English nonsense verse and the cheerful character gallery in Brazilian graffiti.

Vaelluspassi (’ramble passport’) portrays the changing light during a fall and a winter of walks. My daily route took me from the parking slot of a population area, where the asphalt and the city ended, to wastelands and teeny slices of forest. To urban Finns, these slices represent Forest or Nature. Small, monthly, layer-painted pictures portraying the light of the wasteland around the parking slot serve as passport stamps for these little rambles.
