Grönlund–Nisunen: Interferences
Artist duo Grönlund–Nisunen are known for their kinetic installations and sculptures that combine space, light and sound. The duo’s professional backgrounds are in architecture and music. The works are often site- or situation-specific in nature.
Grönlund–Nisunen's works are based on everyday observations. They are connected to physical phenomena, including electric currents, radiation, gravity, magnetism and the properties of matter and sound. They are experiments, a form given by the artists.
They focus on the essentials. They do not symbolise or represent anything specific; rather, the observation focuses on the existence of something, or something happening. The minimal aesthetics do not take a position on beauty, instead offering a pathway to a sensory experience.
The duo’s approach is to explore perception through man-made technology and architecture. At the same time, these are put under observation. The exhibition includes works in which a physical experimental situation has been transformed into a spatial work.
Tommi Grönlund (b. Turku) and Petteri Nisunen (b. Helsinki) live and work in Helsinki. Both studied architecture at Tampere University of Technology. Nisunen also studied industrial design and furniture design at the University of Art and Design Helsinki.
