Sports Hall Window’s third season opens with Liisa Ryynänen’s Section. Ryynänen has created the work site-specifically, considering the cross-sectional quality of the window display and the conditions through which the exhibition space is perceived. While the sectioned sculpture turns away from the viewer, it simultaneously reveals something new.

Ryynänen plays with scale and representation. In the exhibition, a scale model resembling a Pantheon-like archetype is carried on the back of a life-sized pony. Ryynänen employs recognizable imagery and forms drawn from historical architecture, combining them with industrial materials. The work examines whether these familiar symbols retain their cultural weight, or whether their overabundance has diminished their significance.

Liisa Ryynänen is a Helsinki-based artist working with sculpture and installation. Their pieces are often characterized by site-specificity and the use of architectural methods.
