BOULDER STAR / Exhibition

Kaija Hinkulas artistic work takes place in the field of expanded painting, where two-dimensional paintings expand into sculptural and spatial experience. New installation Boulder Star plays with expanded materiality and site specific possibitilies in painterly scene featuring installation compiling different materials as video, fabric and readymade.

"The works exhibited, in the artist’s own words, ‘modelling manuals for a new universe’. The artist has also described her previous artistic vision by stating that ‘my works are centered around displacing a place, an observation or a material from its context and transforming it into a new shape, space and action. The works moves somewhere between painting and sculpture, which could be described by using the expression fantastic minimalism."
