Fluff: Contemporary Art from Soft Materials
Fluff is lint, a fuzzy, soft and cotton-like substance that is often shed from textile materials. The works in the exhibition offer a glimpse into the many possibilities of materials and techniques, while releasing some ideological fluff from them.

The students have explored the use of textile materials and techniques in contemporary art through lectures, artist visits and their own artistic work. The works and the theme of the exhibition are based on the ideas of a student group. The teacher of the course is artist and art educator Virpi Vesanen-Laukkanen.
