SUMMARY:ARTIST TALK: PEKKA AND TEIJA ISORÄTTYÄ
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk with A Time for Everything Finnish artist duo Pekka and Teija Isorättyä. \nOriginally from Tornio\, Finland\, Pekka and Teija Isorättyä (both b. 1980) are best known for their mechanical sculptures\, robots and installations that explore the human relationship to technology and nature in a poetic manner\, but also with tongue-in-cheek playfulness. The Isorättyäs often use recycled materials\, scrap metals and waste plastic\, as well as bone and animal leather as the starting point for their works\, combining them with technology. \nOver recent years Pekka and Teija have fused their material sensibilities with architecture\, developing large-scale public sculptures and installations for planetariums\, universities\, hospitals\, train stations\, and more\, throughout Finland. In this discussion\, Pekka and Teija will talk about their work “Love Gear”\, in the current exhibition\, A Time for Everything\, and describe other recent projects\, including a Baby Whale for Assi Hospital in Hämeenlinna\, a Raven (“Korppi”) bird hovering over the Tikkurila metro station\, and the beloved BUKO\, a robot tribute to Charles Bukowski. \nPekka and Teija have exhibited internationally\, and have lived and worked in Mexico\, Japan\, New York\, and Berlin. They have received the Lapland Art Award\, the William Thuring Foundation Prize\, Public Choice Awards from the Ars Fennica 2017 exhibition at Kiasma and the 2010 and 2011 Nord Art exhibitions in Germany. In addition to the Turku City Art Collection\, their works are found in the collections of the Finnish National Gallery\, the Aine Art Museum and the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation Collection. \nThe Isorättyäs have previously been featured in Scandinavia House events The Artist Family Isorättyä (Documentary Screening and Discussion)\, The Experimental Lens: Edvard Munch’s Photography\, Virtual Studio Visit: Pekka and Teija Isorättyä\, and LEGO® Hybrid Sculptures with Artists Pekka & Teija Isorättyä \nFollowing the talk\, there will be a panel alongside exhibition curator Emily Stoddart. \nNote: registration link applies to both the 2 PM talk and 3 PM talk; either may be attended upon registration. Attendees of the afternoon talks are also invited to special Open House Party from 4-6 PM.  \nRegister \n  \n
