Kari Cavén’s solo exhibition Syteen / Cavén opens at Aboa Vetus Ars Nova museum in Turku 16 June and runs until 19 November 2023. The exhibition features works from different periods, mixed media and readymade sculptures, some of them now exhibited for the first time. The concept of Cavén’s art is simple yet far from easy: it arises from a deep reflection of the properties and potential of an object or found material. The name of the exhibition is a pun in Finnish, based on the phrase ‘syteen tai saveen’ – ‘come what may’. What is essential in the phrase is the attitude that involves risk-taking and dedication.
