Hyäryllistä is a group of three visual artists (Sari Koski-Vähälä, Jouko Korkeasaari and Heli Kurunsaari) living and working in Helsinki. The group’s works are multi-material sculptural installations. In the group’s work, making with one’s hands is combined with the cultivation of chance and surprises, and through these, the discovery of something new. Parts and materials from old works are used as a basis for new works, resulting in a cycle of materials, forms and meanings that is characteristic of Hyäryllistä. The group makes the works together, organically interweaving the different perspectives and strengths of the three authors to form a fourth authorship and craft.
The group’s extensive retrospective exhibition was on display at WAM (Wäinö Aaltonen Museum) in Turku in 2020. Other notable exhibitions have included solo shows at Galleria Ama, Helsinki 2020, Aboa Vetus Ars Nova’s Takkahuone in Turku 2017 and Lapua Art Museum 2015. The group’s works are in the collections of the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Fund, the City of Turku and the Finnish Museum of Photography, among others. Each member of the group also has his/her own artistic work to which the projects and phases of the group are intertwined. Hyäryllistä has been working together for over thirty years and is one of the longest-lived groups of artists in Finland.
