TIDELINES
Amin Maalouf, Raija Malka, Melek Mazici and Kaija Saariaho
28 Jaunary - 13 March, 2011
The Tidelines exhibition is an interdisciplinary work that moves in both space and time and combines music with pictures and text.
Created by visual artists Raija Malka and Melek Mazici together with composer Kaija Saariaho, the work is inspired by the writings of the Lebanese author Amin Maalouf. The theme of the exhibition is the importance of identity in contemporary culture. According to Maalouf, our humanity is composed of many different identities instead of just a single, extreme one. Maalouf’s texts, Saariaho’s music and the works of Malka and Mazici build up into a single experience with multiple voices, one where interaction is realised through art forms appealing to different senses. 28 Jan – 13 Mar 2011, Kontti.
