PEDA Summer. PROOF – Toni Lehtola and Jenni Uusitalo

In the spring of 2018, artists Toni Lehtola and Jenni Uusitalo created the highly popular PROOF workshop at the art museum. In this workshop, visitors captured self-portraits in a fun way, assisted by a friend, on a transparent wall. The artists spent a week working alongside visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The PEDA Summer exhibition showcases a vibrant selection of these self-portraits.

Toni Lehtola, a graduate of the Kankaanpää Art School, works primarily with performative electromechanical sculpture installations and music.

Jenni Uusitalo, a visual artist (M.A.) who graduated from both Kankaanpää Art School and Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design, and Architecture, focuses on sculpture and installation art.

The PROOF workshop was held in the museum’s innovative audience-oriented space, LIIKEtila. LIIKEtila is a laboratory where various cross-disciplinary working models are explored and assessed. It transforms, continuously searching for and redefining its place within the museum’s exhibition spaces.
