Aistit : coming to our senses

Tuotetiedot

Avoselkäsidos, pehmeäkantinen. The Finnish Institutes in the Benelux, France, Germany, and the UK and Ireland are proud to invite visual artist Hans Rosenström and curator and choreographer Satu Herrala to reflect on the topic of ‘senses’ (‘aistit’ in Finnish) and their physical, political and technological dimensions today. Bringing together multiple visual and performing artists working across different geographical locations, Aistit / coming to our senses unfolds a fragile world that is interconnected and full of nuances. Aistit/ coming to our senses sets its course in an evolving one-year programme of exhibitions in five European cities to explore the complexity and wonder of our sensory perceptions and how they shape us as human beings. This book brings together the documentation of this sensorial exploration through diverse artistic practices across Europe, and a series of essays appearing together here for the first time, that engage the senses from a diverse array of perspectives.
