Fine Art graduates' exhibition ERO part two opened TAF

Yes, we are nervous - but only until the speeches are over!
The second half of the ERO graduation show of our Fine Art students had a cheerful, welcoming and international vernissage at TR1 Kunsthalle on Friday, the opening day of Tampere Art Factory (TAF). The first half opened on May 4 at Art Centre Mältinranta. (Read the story)Mediums divide the graduating artists into two rough categories depending on whether they use their hands or machines to create their works. This difference is brought under your eyes by dividing the artworks themselves into two exhibitions according to technique. TR1 Kunshalle shows this year only photography, moving image and media art. Artworks in the fields of painting, drawing and sculpture are on exhibit in Art Center Mältinranta.

Mmmm... which ones to choose?
TR1 Exhibition Manager Virpi Nikkari speaking - she seems to
appreciate - actually love our work!
Great that our programme leader Juha Suonpää gives his speech in English
- there seems to be a lot of international guests here. Minna Suoniemi (on left)
seems to be exited waiting for her turn. Anna Knappe (on right) seems really
calm waiting for her turn.
Now Minna, who so brilliantly supervised us trough the thesis and graduation
show installation process gives her speak. She sounds so convincing telling
how proud she is to have worked with us! Wow! 
Now time for Anna to give the speech on behalf of the graduates - but
surprise surprise! No talk, we all sing together! We are awesome, really!
OK, the roses and the hugs from lecturers and then - we have done it!
The audience can admire our works standing
