  • A Show of Emotion
    Issue No. 3/2018 A Show of Emotion Interview by Gill Crabbe, FNG Research As the Sinebrychoff Art Museum prepares to stage an exhibition on painting and the theatre, Gill Crabbe meets the show’s curator Laura Gutman, to discuss the research she carried out in order to bring this topic to life Meeting the independent curator Laura Gutman is like meeting a detective. As curator of several shows in Finland, where she moved from Paris 17 years ago, including the recent acclaimed ‘Air de Paris’ exhibition at Helsinki Art Museum (HAM), she has used her research skills and background studying art history under Guy Cogeval at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris in the 1990s to impressive effect in Finland. Not only has she been making intriguing connections between Finnish artists and their European counterparts, but also deepening understanding of European artworks in Finnish collections. It is a busy year for Gutman as she is now in the final stages of preparing a show on theatre and painting from the 17th to early 20th centuries titled ‘Moved to Tears: Staging Emotions’ at the Sinebrychoff Art Museum in Helsinki. The museum is an appropriate setting for such a subject as it is the house of the collector Paul Sinebrychoff, whose wife Fanny Grahn was herself an actress, and their rooms on the first floor are laid out almost as a series of theatrical sets, each reflecting a period from his collection. The theme of the Sinebrychoff exhibition which is held in the galleries on the ground floor, is also a subject close to Gutman’s heart, since at the Ecole du Louvre she studied the theoretical and philosophical background to painting and theatre ‘from David to Degas’.

  • Loan Terms of Finnish National Gallery (Outgoing Loans)
    LOAN TERMS OF FINNISH NATIONAL GALLERY (OUTGOING LOANS) Borrowing works from the collections of the Finnish National Gallery (“FNG”) – Ateneum Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma and Sinebrychoff Art Museum. General terms These terms concern short-term or temporary loans. FNG lends only to museums and exhibition organizers with professional museum staff or a similar level of expertise, as well as appropriately secure and climate-controlled facilities. Loan requests must specify the works to be lent and the loan period, as well as provide an account of the environmental conditions, security and surveillance arrangements in the exhibition galleries. Loan requests must be made in writing to the director of the museum in question – Ateneum Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma or Sinebrychoff Art Museum – at least eight months prior to the loan period for international loans. Each loan request is assessed separately. When deciding on a loan, the things considered include the condition of the work, display conditions particularly in the case of sensitive works, the status of the work in the FNG collections, and other relevant matters such as possible reservations for other exhibitions. Any deviation from these loan terms must be agreed in writing. There is always a loan agreement signed also for media art, whether original works or copies. Insurance Borrowed works of art must be insured against all risks for values determined by FNG. The insurance must run nail to nail, from the moment FNG gives the works over to the Borrower or their representative, up until the moment the works are returned to FNG.
