Idiorrhythmic Imaginaries research exhibition events
Idiorrhythmic Imaginaries research exhibition presents itself as a platform for knowledge in the making. Experimental modes of curating (performance, discursive events, other rituals of gathering, new modes of delivery and display) are sought that understand the exhibition as a potential mode of inquiry in itself: a research process that negotiates and articulates the assumption of a possible resonance between idiorrhythms and imaginaries in the hybrid environment of an exhibition and an event space.
Events during the exhibition
Throughout the exhibition, a wide range of events will take place in the exhibition space, with some programmes extending into public space.
Jaime Belmonte & Paola Fernanda: Aquatic Universes
Aquatic Universes is a collaboration between composer Jaime Belmonte, visual artist and experimental filmmaker Paola Fernanda and eleven musicians from the Global Music Department of the Sibelius Academy. The aim of the collaboration is to research the liminal spaces of composition and installation art, creating a transdisciplinary work that questions the traditional boundaries between artistic methodologies and disciplinary paradigms. Drawing upon the exploration of personal relationships with bodies of water, the group constructs a collective imaginary that depicts a multifocal conception of what is water. The collaborative process, guided by the ontological turn as a method of artistic research, involves a constant sharing of stories and experiences that shape images, sounds and live interventions. The result is an idiorrhythmic constellation of the aquatic universes that each one of the participants carries within them. All performances at Kuva/Tila.

Kristiina Koskinen: Becoming a Forest
The dance performance by Elina Valtonen (dancer) and Favela Vera Ortiz (choreographer) is a part of Kristiina Koskinen’s short film Definition of Forest (2024) in the exhibition. It takes a material stance on one of the film’s research questions: how to bring the idea of human–forest entanglements into audiovisual narration. All performances at Kuva/Tila.

Heidi Hänninen: Mapping Kontula Art School
Welcome to Kontula! Through the street art tours on the site in suburb Kontula and documentations in Research catalogue one can have a look inside to KAS! Kontula Art School’s socially engaged public art practice. “Kaupunki on meidän koti” (“City is our home”), the last artistic part of the artistic research by community artist-researcher Heidi Hänninen, includes paintings from 36 KAS community members, both adults and juniors, implemented for the renovated metrostation in Kontula. In my study (street) art practice is the method of working and collecting research material (socially engaged art making practice and ready artworks in the public environment) but it is also an intervention for the (social) change.

Noora Karjalainen, Ursa Minor Ensemble, The Disobedient Rhythm
Throughout history, countless attempts have been made to fix, cure, or integrate deaf people into the ways of the hearing world. What if deaf bodies and lives were seen as already whole, valuable, and complete? Doctoral researcher Noora Karjalainen, a member of Ursa Minor Ensemble, explores with the group how deafness shapes unique rhythms of sensing, knowing, and being, and how these ways of being enact the making of the world. In The Disobedient Rhythm, they bring these reflections to life, performing a score from their research project The Disobedient Gene. The exhibition space displays research in progress, which will be continuously updated throughout the exhibition.
