”Brainwash”, the sound installation of composer Sami Klemola, in gallery Huuto in Viiskulma.

The interactive installation, composed of electronic sounds and recycled showers, allows the gallery visitors to influence the soundscape resonating in the gallery space. The installation explores the boundaries of surrealism, where the habitual conventions of everyday life no longer apply. Klemola promises that every visitor’s brain will be washed by the resonance of sound, and afterwards the world may sound, and seem, a little different.

Sami Klemola is a composer living and working in Helsinki. He has been studying composing and electronic music in Sibelius-Academy, Amsterdam conservatory and IRCAM in Paris. Brainwash is his first sound installation.

Consept and programming: Sami Klemola.

Electronic planning: Jonte Knif.

Rasa – paintings

Loosely defining Rasa is a Sanskrit world for certain emotions that a work of art produces in it’s viewer. Rasa is an aesthetic theory developed in India in the beginning of western chronology. It is emotive aesthetics which resides not in the artist or the objects produced by him, but in the viewer.

The basis of my work lies in the symbiosis of western abstract art and the traditional Asian arts .I aim to make works of art which invite the viewers imagination to make their own interpretations of what is seen. Hopefully the paintings will lead to some kind of relaxed being or meditation. I believe that a work of art can still shape peoples view of the world and reality.

I would like to thank The Pirkanmaa Regional Fund of the Finnish Cultural Foundation for it’s support.
