Kari Vehosalo takes part in XXVII Mänttä Art Festival, one of Finland’s leading summer exhibitions of contemporary art. This year’s festival, titled Out of Nowhere, is curated by Minna Suoniemi and Petri Ala-Maunus. On view are works by 36 artists or artist groups. Many of the artworks look for our place in and as a part of nature and our ability to live with different species. From Vehosalo on show are several new paintings, which delve deep into thickets and the dark unknown. XXVII Mänttä Art Festival is open daily until 31 August 2023.
