Who is EU-MAN?
Of course, it is not somebody.
It is short for European Union Migrant Artists Network, a network for professional migrant artists living and working in the European Union area. It was established in Turku, Finland, in January 1997.

ART HARMONIZES THE WORLD |
|
After five months of existence, EU-MAN is ready for its first public event-a nine artists' exhibition in the city of Turku, the place where it all begin. The creator of the network has been working like a dog to get things together, but here it stands with the works of network-members living in different parts of Finland, each one presented by their works. |
|
With one exception, they have been for less than ten years. The exception is the exhibition's only female artist, TAMARA NISKONEN, painter, born in the USSR-now RUSSIA, LENEGRAD-now St. Petersburg, in Finland since 1982. |
|
Most of the artits are painters. AHMED AZIZ SALEM, born in KURDISTAN-IRAQ, has been in the art field since 1936 and has been involved in archaeology as well. He is (almost) fellow conutryman RAHBAR MAMASH in Finland since 1988 stepped into the field about five years later. ZHANG HONG from Beijing-China, who came here five years ago is creating an interesting blend of far eartern-western imagery. |
|
Iraq has given birth to many interesting artists in different fields. AMIR himself-artist-writer, in Finland since 1990- was born there, as well as the now participating painters AL RAMAHI QASSIM and MUHSIN AL AZAWY. |
|
RAED ABOASKAR who came from Palastine, some three years ago works with ceramics and ois. The only one of his kind in this expo. BELA CZITROM from TRANSSLYVANIA, sculptor-painter-drawer, living and working in Turku since 1990, shows strong and expressive reliefs made in an interestingly treated blend of metals. |
|
We hope this exhibition will be followed by many others-in Finland and all around, where there is an EU-MAN. Next here in Turku will be a 28 artitsts expo in August 1998, during that yearly celebrated night when Turku is dedicated to the arts. This exhibition, a bit reduced will later be taken to Denmark and the Netherlands. |
|
But today EU-MAN wishes you welcome to the first exhibition held in ATELJE KÄMPE, in the very heart of Turku. |
