Lontoossa asuvan ranskalaisen taiteilijan Marguerite Humeaun näyttely sijaitsee HAMin yläkerrassa, Ars Fennica -näyttelyn vieressä. Tilaa rajaa neliönmuotoinen valkoinen kangas. Mielestäni Humeaun teokset vaativat melko intiimin ja suljetun ympäristön tullakseen esitellyksi parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla. Kangas ympäröi osan teoksista ja ehkä muuttaa karun, korkean näyttelytilan ihmisläheisempään mittakaavaan. Samanlaisessa tarkoituksessa toimivat katonrajassa olevat valopallot, jotka tuovat etäisesti mieleen riisipaperivalaisimet. Tilan äänimaisema on miellyttävä Voit lukea tekstin englanniksi tästä Lattialla seisovia teoksia ei ole eristetty köysillä tai merkitty millään tavalla. Tämä on epäilemättä paras ratkaisu teosten kokemisen kannalta. Ymmärrän toki myös sen, miksi museovahtimestarit kiertelivät tilassa valppaina. Taideteosten materiaalit, usein vaha ja lasi, eivät ole erityisen iskunkestäviä. Humeaun taide vaatii tietynlaista mietiskelyä. Kerrokselliset vahapinnat ja orga...

The exhibition of Marguerite Humeau, a French artist based in London, is located upstairs at HAM, next to the Ars Fennica exhibition. The space is defined by a square-shaped white canvas. In my opinion, Humeau’s works require a fairly intimate and enclosed setting in order to be presented in the best possible way. The canvas encloses some of the pieces and perhaps transforms the stark, lofty exhibition space into something more human in scale. The light globes near the ceiling, somewhat reminiscent of rice paper lamps, serve a similar purpose. The soundscape of the space is pleasant The floor-standing works are not cordoned off with ropes or marked in any way. This is undoubtedly the best solution for how the works are experienced. Of course, I also understand why the museum attendants wandered through the space looking alert. The materials of the artworks, often wax and glass, are not particularly impact-resistant. Humeau’s art requires a certain amount of contemplation. The layer...

Many museums rely solely on the senses of sight and hearing. When walking through an exhibition, we look at objects, which are often inside glass display cases. Auditory experiences are usually provided in the form of a digital audio guide or a guided tour. The Hotel and Restaurant Museum, located at the Cable Factory, is in a good position as a museum because it engages more senses. Taste, scent, and taste memory can emerge, for example, when recalling childhood Christmas foods or grandmother's baking. The potential for an impactful experience is favorable; all of us have some connection and relationship with food and drink, and the memories and experiences associated with them You can read this text in Finnish from here Menu, Pohjanhovi, Rovaniemi, 1947.

 "I started studying in 1966 at Lappeenranta Summer University. Lappeenranta was a charming summer city, and it also had a new, fascinating place to eat: Adriano's bar!
