Foreign Matters
With Foreign Matters Karina Puuffin, Alexandra Subota, Lau Man Pan and Erik Aardema set out to create an exhibition which draws upon the logic of the immune system and allergic processes, exploring various aspects of allergy and its implications: othering, exclusion and contrasts between feeling out of place and embeddedness. Reflecting on underlying structures and […]
In the Silence of this Forest
This project begins with a dream. Sleep feels like the most intimate space of our inner life, private, ungovernable, our own. Yet in times of war, conflict, and technological threat, certain nightmares stop belonging to us alone. They become shared, collective imprints of a political reality larger than any single life. Drawing on the Sleep […]
You Are Here
You Are Here is visual artist Kaija Hinkula’s new solo exhibition at Ama Gallery. The exhibition is built around imaginary guide signs and systems of navigation, using them as points of departure for works that explore structures designed to measure, direct, and organise the world—yet gradually begin to take on a life of their own. Their […]
Blame the Machine?
Today, artificial intelligence, automation, and digital systems shape everyday life — how we work, communicate, think, and imagine the future. Herbert Marcuse argued that technology is never politically neutral; that is, it develops within economic and institutional structures that shape our behavior. And this perception of technology often seems natural and inevitable to us. In […]
ENMESHED

Original Simulations
What does it take for an artwork to be considered an original? What happens to this status when an image is copied, digitised, forged — or quantum teleported? In Original Simulations, mathematical simulations of quantum-teleportation principles transfer the information of an artwork onto its own forgery. Through the process of measurement, the first version is […]

“unequaled roast” (clash of motifs)
19:20 onto a dark oak table, polished with the patina of foreign juices, falls a roasted pig. It seems to have landed directly on a flat shape which, from a certain angle, resembles a map of the world. The grain of the wood stretched from side to side, forming a calm surface for the event […]
delivery system
To the Plasticine Anton Before my friend turned plasticine, he was simply human: flesh of flesh. Then he found a block of clay — and everything followed. Now he’s known by every dog. Perhaps that’s why he loves to render them so much? Let me be clear: I’m joking. But nothing much will change. Not […]
