During
the past year, the value and state of art has aroused a lot of
conversation and maybe it’s time to wrap things up a bit:
Image
has suffered an inflation. Cameras are cheap, everyone knows how to
use one and the enormous amount of visual irritants in our cityscape
is more than overwhelming. The hectic, effusive level of image and
information builds an atmosphere where the most important thing is to
make your time count and maximize profits. The jammed mind might find
it hard to hold still, reflect, ponder and face feelings and so often
these needs are neglected.
Maybe
instead of setting expectations that must be fulfilled before we can
accept something as art, we should face it as it is and see what it
has to say. After all, the need to experience and produce art has
existed as long humankind and the role of art as the mirror of its
time and society wont change.
Roll
Up! Art to Tampere- project believes that the role of art in culture
and the city of Tampere is inevitable. The people of Tampere get a

Satakunnankatu. The graduating Fine Art program students and local
business Anetcom orchestrated the project, where Anetcom picked the
top three works and now the final winner is up for voting on the
Aamulehti webpage.
