Taanila’s contribution to the show is a single-channel video installation My Silence (2013) and two photograms from the series Black and White Movies (2013).
The single-channel video installation My Silence is part of a group show entitled “My Silence, Hiljaisuuden ääni” (“My Silence, The Sound of Silence”) at Kuopio Art Museum 12.2.–28.5.2016.
The focal point of this exhibition is silence, works of art which are restrained and plain but deep and impressive in their simplicity. How does the silence of art sound?
Exhibition is a cross-section of the works of the contemporary art acquired to Kuopio Art Museum collections in the 2000s. On display are photos and video art, paintings, drawings and sculptures made by artists like Ilkka Halso, Nanna Hänninen, Antti Immonen, Ari Kakkinen, Anne Koskinen, Anni Leppälä, Jaakko Niemelä, Pauno Pohjolainen, Riitta Päiväläinen, Heli Ryhänen, Jaakko Rönkkö, Riitta Rönkkö, Perttu Saksa, Jyrki Siukonen, Anne Tompuri, Mika Taanila ja Jan Kenneth Weckman, among others.
