Art in Supermarket

Feed your appetite for culture!

In the beginning of the summer 2011, an everyday shopping routine might turn into an art experience. Turku based artist Jouna Karsi (b. 1980) has created a set of sculptures, which will be exhibited among other sale articles in the Prisma-markets / Turun Osuuskauppa.

A wish to bring art closer to the people has guided the artistic work. When works of art are presented in an every day environment, they become involved in fulfilling the basic needs. Karsi's miniature worlds are compact in size, like other items in the supermarket shelf.

Exhibition Schedule:

  • Prisma, Itäharju (Kalevantie 41, 20520 Turku ) in May 2011
  • Prisma, Tampereentie (Vanha Tampereentie 108, 20300 Turku ) in June 2011.


More info: Jouna Karsi's website.

The project is part of the collaboration between Artist as Neighbour, Turku 2011 and Turun Osuuskauppa.

Artist as neighbour -exhibition
What colours would you use, if you could decide the colours of the building? What places around your neighbourhood would you show to a visitor? Could a snake seen in the forest become a souvenir?
