21012024 Exhibition

Arttu Kuoppala had been interested in exhibiting his own art for quite a long time, but the threshold for publishing his art had become so high over the years that only the best of the best would do. However, as his interest overcame his fear of publication, Arttu set out to create his first exhibition images. The theme of the works became Arttu Kuoppala's brand and the image he created through technically advanced but also experimental works.

On 21 January 2024, Arttu held his first exhibition, where he invited his closest friends to spend quality time together with art, music, and refreshments. The venue was the fifth floor of an abandoned, demolished apartment building at 1:00 a.m., reached via Lahti's Vesijärvenkatu 19 by following a light trail that stretched for dozens of meters. On the way to the fifth floor, the music of the exhibition became clearer and clearer, and the ever-present dust of the demolition building began to fill the air. However, the exhibition waiting on the fifth floor was a feat worth climbing and surviving through the cloud of dust.

On two walls of the seemingly brutal hall, the works of Arttu's exhibition were hung on metallic pulleys, emphasizing the asceticism and simplicity of the space. The viewer was confronted with ten different A3-size works, past which a ribbon of light, starting at the bottom, guided the viewer.
