  • new collaborative exhibition -Sojourn in White-

  • installation SPEARED MEMORIES 1 in the attic of Behrouz Rae created in his residence period
    The Iranian artist Behrouz Rae has been in the art centre from February until the end of April. He is very interested in the human history of the place he is staying. He was discovering the attic (by -20) and has found the tracks of the past when Saksala was an old people’s home and some rests of the past of the time Marja de Jong was living in the Netherlands. He has not any idea of the meaning of the objects, but has made an installation SPEARED MEMORIES 1 by making his own memorial history about the tracks. The whole (unused and not renovated) attic is during the period of the installation a special area like the place where archaeologists are carrying out excavations. It will tell every visitor an own story related to the personal relation with the past of Saksala.

    "I feel alone people who never try to escape of their situation.
    Sometimes their energy speared into the space and it's eternal, nobody can touch it till their appear on somebody, promptly they become visible when you are ready to deliver yourself.
    Sometimes you hear old music that you had heard in advance, your feelings become natural and it happened to me when I saw upstairs in Saksalanharju Karhuntie 11.
    Dejavu, no more than it I think somewhere you can do something instead of crying and it called installation I prefer call it something that reborn you for a while.
    It is not seeing some stuffs around you which concerns to past . . . things are waiting for you to rearrange them, approach them, look them at least remove them in the right place, perfect place is the position that you don't  understand you are in -20 degree. You may walk through things several days and do nothing it is enough to be passive with them. 'Nobody can push you to do art' this what enjoy in walking, touching, listening and finding in the place many nurses have lived there many years ago"
    2008 Behrouz Rae
