The Contamination of Time, is a group exhibition curated by Erich Berger. The Contamination of Time displays works from Petri Ala-Maunus (FI), Laura Beloff (FI), Andy Gracie (UK/ES), Katri Naukkarinen (FI) and Aurora Del Rio (IT), Elsa Salonen (FI), Emilia Tikka, Leena and Oula A. Valkeapää (FI).
In The Contamination of Time, you are invited to embark on a journey that unsettles familiar notions of time.

What is to come is always already contaminated by what is at hand.
