17.05.24 - 08.09.24 - curator Anna Ruth / Jyväskyla Art Museum

The second part of a series of exhibitions by curator and artist Anna Ruth features five contemporary artists (Samuel Lehikoinen, Anna Ting Möller, Vidha Saumya, Johanna Pöykkö) who reflect on the present moment and its digital influences. Horror films, news feeds and other media are weaved with textures, lines and colours.

“The current of this exhibition, is imbued with digital influence. The works offer a closer look at the present, at the perception of the now. The artists use of the fractionated lines unites them and illustrates the multiplicity of our connections, but also their disappearance. The thread of this exhibition weaves us closer, in our endless search for commonality," says curator Anna Ruth.
