SINCERE LIES Projections for an old museum 26.09-1.12.2013 Sinebrychoff Art Museum, Helsinki
Exhibition project by Hanna Haaslahti & Alejandro Montes de Oca Two exhibitions overlap at the museum space, one is selected from the museum's collection of old art and the other is featuring video, sound and technology. The historical imagery is not arranged according to era, style or particular artist – instead it is searching for a continuum with the present moment. Established categories are leaking, and if you follow these leaks they can take you to the outskirts of Great Historical Themes. The outcasts of the collection, copies by unknown artists and reproductions, works in poor condition and those not falling into any particular classification become a starting point for new links with the future. Ghosts start appearing, when the present moment becomes dirty, broken, old-fashioned and sick – like an old house that needs to be demolished. But let's leave old houses alone and deconstruct the spell under which the structures of these works lie.
