<\/span><\/span>Okko P\u00f6yli\u00f6n Mika<\/i> (2021) kutsuu katsojan tavanomaiseen tilanteeseen, jossa keskustellaan tuntemattoman miehen kanssa. Pian keskustelu saa outoja piirteit\u00e4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mika<\/i> jatkaa vuodesta 2014 alkanutta Novelleja<\/i>-n\u00e4yttelyiden sarjaa. Nykytaidetta ja sarjakuvaa yhdistelev\u00e4t teokset rakentavat tilanteita, jossa katsoja asettuu osaksi tarinan tapahtumia. Suhde katsojaan konkretisoituu suoralla puhuttelulla ja katsekontaktin k\u00e4yt\u00f6ll\u00e4. Per\u00e4ti 29 yksitt\u00e4isest\u00e4 lyijykyn\u00e4piirroksesta muodostuva Mika<\/i> on P\u00f6yli\u00f6n suurin teossarja t\u00e4h\u00e4n menness\u00e4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Teos kyseenalaistaa perinteisen katsoja-teos -asetelman. Katse politisoituu eik\u00e4 katsoja voi en\u00e4\u00e4 seurata passiivisena sivusta, ottamatta kantaa. H\u00e4nest\u00e4 tulee katseen ja halun kohde. Objektisoimalla katsojan, teos asettaa kyseenalaiseksi katsojan itsem\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4\u00e4misoikeuden ja pakottaa m\u00e4\u00e4rittelem\u00e4\u00e4n henkil\u00f6kohtaiset rajat. Ylitettiink\u00f6 n\u00e4m\u00e4 rajat, miss\u00e4 kohtaa se tapahtui ja kenen katseella on valta?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dOn vaikea avata kattavasti sit\u00e4, kuinka ideat teoksiin syntyv\u00e4t ja varsinkin t\u00e4m\u00e4n teoksen kohdalla reitti on ollut monitahoinen. Er\u00e4s k\u00e4\u00e4nnekohta oli se, kun luin Ylen teett\u00e4m\u00e4n kyselytutkimuksen, jossa eri ik\u00e4ryhm\u00e4t m\u00e4\u00e4ritteliv\u00e4t sit\u00e4 mink\u00e4 toiminnan he k\u00e4sitt\u00e4v\u00e4t seksuaaliseksi h\u00e4irinn\u00e4ksi. T\u00e4st\u00e4 teos sai muodon, jossa tilanne etenee aste asteelta vakavampaan h\u00e4irint\u00e4\u00e4n ja kukin katsoja voi henkil\u00f6kohtaisesti arvioida miss\u00e4 kohtaa k\u00e4yt\u00f6s ylitt\u00e4\u00e4 h\u00e4nen rajansa.\u201d P\u00f6yli\u00f6 kuvailee teoksen syntyprosessia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vuonna 2017 julkistetun Tasa-arvobarometrin mukaan seksuaalista h\u00e4irint\u00e4\u00e4 oli kokenut 39 prosenttia naisista ja 17 prosenttia miehist\u00e4. T\u00e4n\u00e4 p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4 toteutettuna tulos on varmasti suurempi, sill\u00e4 viime vuosien aikana keskusteluilmapiiri on muuttunut voimakkaasti. Voidaan kuitenkin sanoa, ett\u00e4 jokainen tuntee jonkun, jota on h\u00e4iritty seksuaalisesti. N\u00e4in ollen jokainen tuntee my\u00f6s jonkun, joka on seksuaalisesti h\u00e4irinnyt.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Teos k\u00e4sittelee seksuaalista h\u00e4irint\u00e4\u00e4 esitt\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4 ainoastaan tekij\u00e4n. Teon kohde voi olla kuka tahansa. Jos ei kykene asettamaan itse\u00e4\u00e4n teoksen tapahtumien kohteeksi voi siihen kuvitella jonkun l\u00e4heisen, yst\u00e4v\u00e4n, ty\u00f6kaverin tai perheenj\u00e4senen. P\u00f6yli\u00f6 k\u00e4sittelee teoksissaan niin yksil\u00f6tason kriisej\u00e4 kuin yhteiskunnallisia kipupisteit\u00e4 ja uskoo ett\u00e4 piirrosten kautta hankalia aiheita on helpompi l\u00e4hesty\u00e4. Antamalla moraalikysymyksille kasvot teokset tarjoavat menetelmi\u00e4 omien arvojen tarkasteluun ja uudelleenm\u00e4\u00e4rittelyyn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Okko P\u00f6yli\u00f6 valmistui kuvataiteilijaksi Turun Taideakatemiasta 2014. Novelleja<\/i>-teoksia on ollut aiemmin esill\u00e4 laajalti Suomessa mm. Lahden, Hyvink\u00e4\u00e4n ja Rovaniemen taidemuseoissa sek\u00e4 ulkomailla, Saksassa ja Kreikassa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

N\u00e4yttely\u00e4 ja ty\u00f6skentely\u00e4 ovat tukeneet Taiteen edist\u00e4miskeskus ja Suomen Taideyhdistys.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Opening on Thursday 5.8. at 18\u201320. <\/b>Remembering the corona precautions. Welcome!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Okko P\u00f6yli\u00f6\u2019s Mika<\/i> (2021) invites viewers to join a usual situation, involving a discussion with an unknown man. Soon the discussion turns strange.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mika<\/i> is a continuation of the Novelleja<\/i> exhibition series that started in 2014. Combining contemporary art with comics, the works create situations in which the viewer becomes part of what happens in the story. The connection is established by directly addressing the viewer as well as through eye contact. Consisting of 27 individual pencil drawings, Mika<\/i> is P\u00f6yli\u00f6\u2019s largest series of works so far.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They question the traditional set-up of a viewer and a work. The look becomes politicized and the viewer can no longer be a passive bystander, without taking a stand. They become the object of looking and desire. By objectifying the viewer, the works question the viewer\u2019s self-determination and forces one to define their personal boundaries. Were these boundaries crossed, at what point did it happen and whose eyes have the power?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is difficult to comprehensively explain how the ideas for works develop. Especially with this work, the path has been complex. One turning point was reading the results of a Yle survey, in which different age groups defined what kind of behavior they see as harassment. Based on this, the work took a form in which the situation progresses, little by little, towards more serious harassment, and each viewer can personally determine at what point the behaviour crosses their boundaries,\u201d P\u00f6yli\u00f6 describes the process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Gender Equality Barometer published in 2017, 39 percent of women and 17 percent of men had faced sexual harassment. Today the figures are presumably higher, as the climate of discussions has changed significantly. However, it is safe to say that we all know someone who has been sexually harassed. Therefore, we also know someone who has sexually harassed another person.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The work approaches sexual harassment by only portraying the perpetrator. The target of this behavior could be anyone. If you are unable to make yourself the target of the events in the work, you can imagine someone else there, a friend, a co-worker or a family member. In his works, P\u00f6yli\u00f6 examines both individual crises and society\u2019s sore points and he believes that it is easier to approach difficult topics through drawings. By giving moral questions a face, his works offer methods for one to examine and redefine their own values.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Okko P\u00f6yli\u00f6 earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in fine arts from Turku Arts Academy in 2014. His Novelleja<\/i> works have previously been on display at the Lahti, Hyvink\u00e4\u00e4 and Rovaniemi Art Museums as well as abroad in Germany and Greece.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition and the artist\u2019s work have been supported by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland and the Finnish Art Society.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
