4th Pirkanmaa Triennial TRUTH

"Truth" is the name of the current exhibition now on at the Pispala Contemporary Art Center. The event is part of the 4th Pirkanmaa Triennial, which will see events in many of our best art venues in Tampere.

Truth showcases a range of artistic views from across the world. At the opening there will be live music from Frankie Shannon, the play Vaaliralli will be performed and Orgonisaatio will be placing Orgonite Healing Devices and explaining the philosophy of Wilhelm Reich and how it applies to us today.

Points of view from the edges of art and from the margins of the believable: videobridge conversations and free-form lectures from rebel thinkers and doers from near and far. As long ago as 1651, in his book “Leviathan” the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes compared the complex structure of a modern country to that of a sea monster which had grown in size beyond the scope of human understanding. Now in the fourth century after the release of Hobbes ́ book, the monster has grown even more in size and complexity. Bigger than ever before! For many, it is difficult to see oneself as a part of this huge creature. While people are trying to get a grip of it’s complexity, different kinds of theories are born - including those of conspiracies.
