Follow a Curved Line to Completion and You Make a Circle⭕

" Much of Lahde’s work is rooted in geometry. For this work, she borrows an idea from one of Yoko Ono’s instruction paintings, which asks the viewer to consider a straight line drawn on a wall and imagine it as a segment of a very large circle. It is a model for how a very simple gesture can become a poetic reminder of the relationship between an artist, the artwork and the viewer.

In this new iteration of Lahde’s 2020 installation, hundreds of circular found objects are arranged into twelve concentric arcs that radiate outward from the bottom corner of the gallery wall. Lahde’s title encourages the viewer to take a step into their own imagination and to visualize the completion of the arcs of found objects that are tacked to the wall. This piece activates the gallery walls so that one can imagine these as segments of circles rippling out infinitely from the center. " - excerpt from curator Jeff Nye's exhibition essay on Emergent Geometries

Come check out our latest exhibition - Emergent Geometries!🌟

Kristiina Lahde’s art practice is anchored in everyday encounters with familiar objects: objects that are used to organise, order, or measure. Out of subtle repurposing, ordinary things are elevated into objects of contemplation. Through careful and considered alteration and repetition, new meanings arise. What emerges from her artworks is unexpected, magical, and poetic.

In Emergent Geometries straight pins are reimagined as monumental architecture, discarded library catalogue cards become galactic spirals, and knickknacks are transformed into installations that interweave the everyday and the infinite.
