The Garden of Originalities is a collaboration between Tatu Engeström and Joni Kärkkäinen. The exhibition is an installation of architectural elements the artists collaborated on, and includes solo works as well. The starting point of the collaboration has been both artists' relationship with an ever-changing city. The works are made from materials collected from construction sites and demolition sites, such as blue construction site fence, waste aluminum and abandoned hardwood planks.
Open 5.-21.8. ti-pe 14-19 & la-su 12-17.

Joni Kärkkäinen (s.1988) is about to graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, Department of Sculpture. Ideas from found materials and from the outskirts inspire him to experiment. Joni observes the changes taking place in the material, as time and definitions lose their meaning. Aimless searching, exploring and experimenting are the objective of his work.

Tatu Engeström (s.1984) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki in 2014 with a Master's Degree in Fine Arts. Engeström's works vary from interventions in public spaces to gallery installations. His starting point is often an effort to determine one's own place in—and relationship with—the built environment.
