On the Ugly and the Beautiful: Johan Turi, Outi Pieski, and Johanna Minde

On the Ugly and the Beautiful: Johan Turi, Outi Pieski, and Johanna Minde is the first exhibition in over a hundred years featuring drawings by the legendary multi-artist Johan Turi (1854–1936). Alongside Turi’s detailed and lively depictions of Northern Sami traditions, the exhibition presents sculptures, paintings, and photographs by artist Outi Pieski, born in 1973 and based in Ohcejohka/Utsjoki on the Finnish side of Sápmi. Like Turi, her work is closely connected to both Sámi history and contemporary life. The exhibition includes her hanging sculptures with shawl fringes and her research project on ládjogahpir, the female red horned cap. In addition, architect and duojár Johanna Minde’s reinterpretation of a whimsical wooden stool created by Turi and now part of the Nordic Museum’s collections is on display.
