SaunaLab
Four saunas, designed by different artists and constructed in different areas of Turku will invite the public to come and look inside. And to take a sauna, of course. Private sauna reservations can be made during the summer season, with the saunas open for the public at certain times. Four artists have been invited to build their saunas: Jan-Erik Andersson, Heidi Lunabba, Harri Markkula and Hans-Christian Berg.
Sauna culture will also be examined in the project, for example, by considering what people talk about in the sauna, what is sauna etiquette, and what actually is the authentic artistic steam?
As part of SaunaLab, the Museum Centre of Turku will host an exhibition and a series of events related to the theme of sauna, bathing and cleansing.
The Museum Centre of Turku is responsible for turning up the heat.
Finns often define their relationships with other nationalities and their summer cottage neighbours through sauna: Do you have a sauna? That's a steam room, not a sauna! How's the löyly, the heat? Is the sauna made in Finland? What is the brand and quality of the stove? Sauna is the Finnish national shrine. The symbol of cleanliness and a haven for harmony and relaxation. A place and a discussion topic that will definitely keep your feet warm.
