Mäki-Nevala–Mottisenkangas: LaidunG28

21.9.–1.10.2023
MÄKI-NEVALA –MOTTISENKANGAS fills the Yö Galleria with a video installation.

The installation of a three-channel documentary is named PastureG28. The artist duo highlights the value of pastoral scenery as attraction. G28 is the technical term of an official road sign pointing to a place of interest.

The landscape opens up as wide open space on a summer night. Grazing livestock roars and birds give a concert. The picture and the sound ruminates and just is there. The artwork neither spells out one question nor one answer.

The subjective artwork, with the authors saying a loving good bye to the landscape of their childhoods. Adaptation is necessary, and the nostalgia is marred by an awareness of the climate crisis.
