JOKAklubi Beauty Contest
As part of the closing event for the exhibition “MORE THAN BEAUTY,” which seeks to redefine the way the female body is viewed, moving beyond its mere aestheticization, the Finnish-German artist collective JOKAklubi turns ist attention to beauty contests. Known for their unpredictable, chaotic and engaging performances, thriving on collegial friendships and remaining loyal to their communal spirit, they have invited guest stars to artistically respond to the long history of rating women based on their physical appearance.
JOKAklubi’s members are visual artists Niina Lehtonen Braun, Tellervo Kalleinen and Mirka Raito.
Finissage
A finissage marks the closing of the “Weirder, Louder, Taller, Uglier – For Weeds To Rewild” exhibition in der Galerie im Körnerpark. Taking weeds as a symbol of resistance and non-conformity, the exhibition features artistic approaches that question the existing order and see disruption as a productive force.
The finissage also marks the completion a nearly year-long, city-wide curatorial project that connected exhibitions and events across multiple Berlin locations.
