CHART

Persons Project will focus on the 25th anniversary of The Helsinki School, linking to the upcoming exhibition “New Perspectives Through Photography – 25 years of the Helsinki School” in the autumn at Taidehalli, Helsinki. At CHART, we present a selection of new and historic works of artists from all six generations of the Helsinki School. It will highlight unique photographic positions that evolved out of this approach and platform that has been based upon a sustainable contextual dialogue between its students, teachers, and former alumni – and will exemplify how the Helsinki School, through its evolution, has opened new perspectives in how we experience photography.
