"Painettua kauneutta" : Kaunis koti -lehden kansikuvat aikansa kuvastajina 1948-1971
2018
Tässä maisterintutkielmassa käsitellään Kaunis koti -sisustuslehden kansikuvia. Kaunis koti -sisustuslehti ilmestyi vuosina 1948–1971, 4–8 kertaa vuodessa ja se oli ensimmäinen ainoastaan sisustukseen keskittyvä aikakauslehti Suomessa. Kansikuvia on kaikkiaan 146, mutta tarkempaan analyysiin on valittu neljätoista kansikuvaa. Kansikuvien analysoinnin pohjustuksena käsittelen suppeasti naislehdistön ja Kaunis koti -lehden historiaa sekä käsittelen taideteollisuuden ja Milanon triennaaleiden merkitystä Suomessa ja maailmalla. Historiallinen aikaperspektiivi auttaa ymmärtämään, millaisessa yhteiskunnassa tulkittavat kansikuvat ovat syntyneet. Analysoitavat kansikuvat valikoituivat sisällönanal…
Religious and spiritual motifs in the art of the patients of Nikkilä Hospital
2021
This article focuses on religiousness and spirituality in the art works of psychiatric patients of Nikkilä Hospital, Finland. The pictures analysed here belong to a collection held at the Helsinki City Museum and they were made during the twentieth century. The theoretical frame of the study is a cultural study of mental health. The collection is approached as presenting a specific kind of imagery which has connections not only to the personal history and diagnoses of the patients; their cultural context and hospital environment is also taken into account. The religiousness and spirituality of the Nikkilä collection are also compared with outsider art and examples of art history internation…

AbstractStudies of material objects in the field of memory studies have followed diverse epistemological and disciplinary trajectories, but their shared characteristic has been the questioning of philosophical assumptions concerning human relations with inanimate things and lower-level organic objects, such as plants, within the Aristotelian hierarchy of beings. Rather than accept at face value their categorizations as passive or deficient in comparison to the human subject, critical scholarship has reformulated the place and role of nonhuman entities in culture. This essay examines the nexus of materiality and memory in the work of the French philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Hube…

Symbol, Munch and creativity: metabolism of visual symbols
2010
In this dissertation the relationship between visual symbols and creative thinking is studied through visual, textual and conceptual analysis. The first part of the work focuses on the concept of symbol, the second part on the imagery of Edvard Munch (1863–1944), and the third part on creative thinking. The problematics of visual symbols is approached through the concept of metabolism by assuming that both perceivable and non-perceivable properties of symbols can transform when symbols are used. Because visual symbols are frequently understood as conventional signs with fixed meanings, their perceivable properties are easily ignored. However, symbols can also be unconventionally used, for e…

Turning Right/Turning Left? : A Neoclassical Socioeconomic Query of the Arts Signaled by Museum and Branding in Finland
2016
ABSTRACTThe Guggenheim Helsinki Plan indicated a wishful turn of the arts and culture in Finland from the socio-democratic tradition of a welfare society towards a further neoliberalism. Following the Finnish historical timeline and from a museological viewpoint, this article reviews how national identity was built through the arts, which later integrated into formal and informal education to enhance human capital. This instrumental view now promotes the idea of useful art to fuel an innovation economy of advanced technology. Considering embarking on the intricate platform of arts, economics, and finance through Guggenheim, rethinking the contemporary art market mechanism may prove to be be…
Näkökulmia taide- ja kulttuurishistorialliseen sanastoon : Ortodoksisten kirkkoesineiden ja ikonien terminologian suomalaistamisesta 1930–80-luvuilla
2017
The article focuses on the development of ecclesiastical and iconographical vocabulary in the Finnish autonomous Orthodox Church from the 1930s to the 1980s. In 1931, Archbishop Herman launched a project which aimed to find Finnish words for Orthodox objects and concepts. In his opinion the mixed use of Greek and Russian loanwords was too confusing. A questionnaire containing 333 Russian words was sent to clergy and some Orthodox teachers, who were asked to suggest Finnish synonyms for them. The answers reveal on the one hand a variety of new, invented words and on the other hand a reluctant attitude towards the Archbishop’s attentions. Some felt that old Russian sayings and words were easy…
