Tuomas A. Laitinen presented solo exhibition A Porous Share at Helsinki Contemporary, which opened May 5 and is running to June 4.
The installation includes a number of glass sculptures and light boxes that fill the space as well as a new version of ‘Liminal Toxicity Cluster’ (2016) that explores market economies. Through his ongoing research into biopolitics and ecology, energy and matter is explored as it circulates and relates to humankind and how, as Laitinen writes, “big corporations have shaped this communication. This also involves a control that is woven into the very structures, and which affects any bodies that move around in the world.”
The light boxes use chemical processes and bring together “absurd documents and graphs” that are affected by these processes.**
