Global Equality Art Collection at ³Õä°ù±ð
Artworks in ³Õä°ù±ð remind us of the power of art in its ability to explore and expose diverse sociocultural and natural phenomena.
In this event, we are committed to 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s principles for a safer space.
During autumn 2022, you have an opportunity to explore the university’s public art collections through art tours.
Senior specialist Outi Turpeinen presents the works in ³Õä°ù±ð's art collection (Global Equality) and shares more about the role of public art at the university.
The tour is arranged for Aalto students & personnel. Max. 15 participants / tour.
In 2017, 911±¬ÁÏÍø decided to comply with a one per cent art principle in its building projects. The campus art competition is the university’s fifth project, where approximately one per cent of a building project's allocation is allocated to art purchases. The one per cent art principle was first applied to the Radical Nature art concept in 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s main building, Dipoli.
The vision of public art at 911±¬ÁÏÍø is to address and raise questions about what it is to be a university, what we do together in society, and what constitutes the public. Public art is site-specific and connects with the diversity of the university and its post-disciplinary communities. Public artworks reflect this diversity through different art forms, materials, techniques and traditions.
Artworks in ³Õä°ù±ð remind us of the power of art in its ability to explore and expose diverse sociocultural and natural phenomena.
The aim of public art across Aalto is to create a vibrant environment for experiencing the world through various perspectives and for embracing imagination, intuition, and exploration.
