Guided Tour on Sun, December 21 at 1 PM: 24 fps / Reframing Cinema

Join a guided tour to explore the works and themes of the exhibition 24 fps / Reframing Cinema with a museum guide. In 24 fps / Reframing Cinema paintings come to life and reveal their secrets with the help of moving images.The exhibition presents new cinematic interpretations of some of the most memorable works held in our collection. The original artworks and the short films they inspired will be shown side by side, surrounded by the sets and props. The featured works include Wilho Sjöström’s Portrait of a Dancer (1912), Severin Falkman’s Bride (1878) and Arvo Makkonen’s Ragnar Ekelund Paints (1917).

Hämeenlinna Art Museum and Aalto University’s Department of Film have worked together for many years to bring about this exhibition. As part of the collaboration, students were invited to choose artworks from the museum collection to inspire their own creative practice and worked together in multidisciplinary teams to produce everything from short films and audio works to scripts. The project established a unique space for art-driven learning, experimentation and research, with the students also responsible for designing the exhibition’s visual identity. The exhibition’s immersive, theatrical setting was created as part of a course on exhibition design, run earlier this year at Aalto University.

The guided tour lasts 45 minutes and starts in the lobby of the Engel Building.
