MUU Helsinki Contemporary Art Centre celebrates Gallery Week Friday with extended opening hours, music and refreshments in good company.
The exhibition “The McGurk Effect” by Swedish artists Maria Koolen Hellmin and Johanna Byström Sims is open until 7 PM. The exhibition is an immersive installation created in collaboration with two accordion artists, Maria Kalaniemi and Larisa Ljungkrona-Mönttinen. The accordion masters are responsible for the exhibition’s soundscape.
Refreshments are served to complete the artistic experience, enjoyed in good company to an underscore of music hand-picked by our DJ Tom Backström. To avoid overlap with the exhibitions musical score Tom will deliver a 100 % accordion-free set, exclusively tailored for the occasion.
