  • Porvoon Ja Lohjan Kaupunkien Esityksen Perustelumuistio
    PERUSTELUMUISTIO Porvoon ja Lohjan kaupunkien toiminnallinen suuntautuminen, vuorovaikutus ja yhteys metropolialueeseen MISTÄ PUHUMME, KUN PUHUMME METROPOLIALUEESTA? Hallitus linjasi elokuussa 2013 rakennepoliittisessa ohjelmassaan metropolihallinnon jatkovalmistelun periaatteista. Keskeisenä linjauksena oli se, että perustetaan metropolihallinto, jonka päättävä elin on vaaleilla valittu valtuusto. Metropolihallinto hoitaisi alueen kilpailukyvyn sekä elinkeino- ja innovaatiopolitiikan, maankäytön, asumisen ja liikenteen toteuttamisen sekä segregaatioon, työvoimaan ja maahanmuuttoon liittyvien seudullisten kysymysten ratkaisemisen.1 Valtiovarainministeriö asetti lokakuussa 2013 työryhmän metropolihallintoa koskevan lainsäädännön valmistelua varten. Tehtävä perustui Kataisen hallituksen kuntauudistuslinjauksiin, jossa korostettiin muun muassa metropolialueen kansallista merkitystä ja tarvetta metropolialuetta koskevalle erilliselle lainsäädännölle.2 Työryhmän työtä edelsi seikkaperäinen esiselvitys. Metropolilakityöryhmän väliraportti julkaistiin huhtikuussa 2014. Työryhmä esitti kahta vaihtoista mallia: pakkokuntayhtymää tai itsehallinnollista järjestelmää. Molemmissa malleissa ytimenä oli vaaleilla valittu valtuusto, metropolikaava sekä valtion kanssa tehtävät metropolisopimus. Hallitus linjasi budjettiriihessään elokuussa 2014 periaatteet, joiden pohjalta metropolilakityöryhmä jatkaisi valmistelua. Linjauksen mukaan metropolihallinto kattaisi 14 kuntaa Helsingin seutukunnan 17 kunnasta, mutta linjaukseen liitettiin varaus, että ”Lohja

  • Marianna Uutinen Cv
    L A R S B O H M A N G A L L E R Y Marianna Uutinen Marianna Uutinen has made acrylic works of collage type for over ten years, using them to create a markedly unique idiom. But despite visual and material abundance, Uutinen has always approached her themes and subjects with moderation - thematically her works do not underline things nor do they give the viewer ready-made interpretations. Uutinen says that in the early stages of her career she explicitly tried to find a material that would in a way depict itself and be self-reflective. Through an emphasis on the construction of the work and its materiality, Uutinen’s art approaches what underlies it in our present age. Each brushstroke or mark always means something - there is no such thing as a pure sign. Marianna Uutinen’s works also operate on this principle, as a social sign of surrounding reality. CV Born 1961 in Pieksemäki, Finland. Lives and works in Helsinki. Marianna Uutinen is currently professor at the Art Academy in Helsinki. EDUCATION 1991-92 Institute des Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques, Paris, France 1980-85 The School of Fine Arts Academy of Finland, Helsinki, Finland SELECTED SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2013 Salon Dahlman, Berlin, Germany (together with Anselm Reyle) Carlier-Gebauer, Berlin, Germany Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki, Finland 2012 Lars Bohman Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden 2011 Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki, Finland 2010 Lars Bohman Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden Kalhama-Piippo Contemporary, Helsinki, Finland Vanha Pappila , Pieksämäki, Finland Kouvolan Taidemuseo,Kouvola (Kouvola
