Atelier House was established in 1961. The owners of the house are Tampere Artists´ Association and The City of Tampere. In this building there are 10 ateliers for the professional artists living in Tampere. In this book I am going through the main points of the house history during 1961- 2012. I do also represent those artists which are currently living in the house, with their art works. My work is based on archive recearch, interviews and discussions with colleagues. The annual reports of the housing cooperative and the minutes of the board are the main written sources I have used. The interviews of the artists and their relatives, children and neigbours are opening viewpoints to the everyday life in Hälläpyöränkatu.     All the Artist of the Triennal:: Liisa Ahlfors, Anna Alapuro, Jan Anderzen, Markku Arantila, Miia Autio, Bargain-ryhmä, Hanna-Riikka Heikkilä, Jaakko Himanen & Jere Ruotsalainen, Soile Jääskeläinen, Jarmo Kallinen, Mikko Kallio, Jussi Koitela, Sami Kärppä, Janne Laine, Hannamari Matikainen & Krister Gråhn, Merja Miettinen, Katri Mononen, Arto Nurro, One Love (ryhmä), Kaija Papu, Tuukka Peltonen, Sirpa Perä, Antti Pussinen, Osmo Rauhala, Alex Regan, Tomas Regan, Jonna Riihonen, Marjo-Riitta Sasi, Teemu Saukkonen, Skate and Rebuild (ryhmä), Maria Stereo, Tuija Teiska, Marja-Liisa Torniainen, Viggo Wallensköld, Jarno Vesala, Ilkka Väätti ja Zam       Aamulehti | Tampereen keskustan jakokaappien kylkeen laitettiin uudet taideteokset – katso kartta www.aamulehti.fi     press release: POWER BEAUTY – Heart of the City Marja-Liisa Torniainen Photographs and video installation Gallery Ronga 29.5. – 16.6.2011 Rongankatu 1 C 9, 33100 Tampere Open every day 12 – 18 more information: 045-1209 453 / marjatorniainen@gmail.com Press conference 11.00 -12.00, Saturday 28.5.       Jump into the Tammerkoski Rapids! In Gallery Ronga You can make it safely. Exhibition of Marja-Liisa Torniainen consist of digital inkjet prints and two video projections. The material is shot of the Tammerkoski Rapids between the months January – August 2010. This motive so very familiar for every inhabitant of Tampere is now described   by focusing only into the fundamental issue: water, fall and the dam with its´ walls. In this way the picture becomes partly an abstract and generalized vision. The information is still understandable everywhere water power is in use. These works are also linked with the Steampunk and Cyberpunk imagery. All the works are in sale. Press quality pictures: marjatorniainen@gmail.com WELCOME!
