notes:

The building of Kiasma with its unique architecture is a home for the contemporary art collection of the Finnish National Gallery. It was built by the american architect Steven Holl in 1998. The concept of Kiasma involves the building’s mass intertwining with the geometry of the city and landscape which are reflected in the shape of the building. The general character of the rooms, which are almost rectangular with one wall curved, allows for a silent yet dramatic backdrop for the exhibition of the contemporary art. The Museum offers exhibitions, interdisciplinary artistic projects, perfomance art, dance, music, media art and films.

nice presentation; disturb a bit light in those windows, but i like... it is good in b/w; regards

Thanks a lot, Mircea! As for light in windows... You see, it's such a special processing... It was speccially lightened to emfasise the forms and the surfaces of the building and to strengthen the contrasts...

Очень графично в черно-белом получилось

Спасибо большое, Наташа! У меня есть и цветной вариант, может быть, он даже и в чем-то лучше, но редкую фотографию можно представить в ЧБ, поэтому я и воспользовалась случаем.

Справа все ж галерею построил... Иначе бы завалилось... smile

Tatyana Savvateeva #21 Tue 23 Sep 2008 19:33

Спасибо большое, Андрей, за столь остроумный комментарий. Наверное, так и есть, все-таки стена наклонно стоит... smile
