Verneri Salonen talks us through his solo exhibition Timeless Racing in Project Room gallery in Helsinki, and gives us a peak into the world of motorcycle-enthusiasts. We talk about growing up in the Finnish countryside and driving a moped from the age of 5, maturing and realising that you ideals have outgrown your passion, and using art as a farewell tribute when closing a chapter of your life. <a href="https://www.vernerisalonen.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Verneri's website</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/ExhibitionLaboratoryProjectRoom/1047356995323182/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Project Room's Facebook page</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.

// Autumn update: new episodes coming soonish! // Xenia Ramm, a Danish artist educated at The Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, interviews creative colleagues in different locations such as galleries, a darkroom or an old water reservoir. We talk about all kinds of creative and cultural work, from conceptual thinking to practical techniques and industry-specific insights. We bring the listeners with us into the space, via ambient sound recordings and verbal descriptions of the places we are in and the artworks we are talking about. Every episode features different guests and topics, with terms and technical details explained in a way that all conversations can be enjoyed by fellow artisans or without previous knowledge on the subject. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
