00:00 We are here at Galerie Frostborn from Helsinki and welcome to Münster, Frostborn.
00:07 Yes.
00:08 You are the gallery owner?
00:09 Yes, me and my father. My father started the gallery already in 1977.
00:14 So we have a 30-year anniversary next year.
00:18 So you have a lot of experience in doing art shows of course, but also in the art business.
00:24 Well yes, I mean of course I've been in the business already all my life.
00:33 All my free time I always own it, in that I'm the gallery's owner as well.
00:38 Of course this is a very interesting job, but it's always a hobby.
00:44 You brought some interesting arts to the gallery. Perhaps you can give some names.
00:54 Yes, well we always try to work with Finnish and international artists.
01:04 We brought here for example a Finland, Hosea Väri, and also Tomi Toija, and also a very popular person, a little bit more established, Peetil.
01:24 Hosea Väri is one of the gifted young artists in Finland at the moment.
01:31 We selected actually now a young artist from Finland in 2007 for next year.
01:38 Basically he works through light, he makes sculptures.
01:47 For now he's more concentrated on these acrylic boxes, which they have like a working three-dimensional way.
02:00 You can see the drawing in front and at the same time inside.
02:07 At the same time the people can see themselves with the piece. So it's very interactive.
02:15 Is this plexiglass he uses?
02:17 Yes, it's plexiglass, totally.
02:19 He's not only specializing in plexiglass, he also has other sculptures.
02:25 Yes, he works very much with glass as well.
02:30 Here in our salon in South Entrance you can find his 3-meter high sculpture from glass and stainless steel.
02:39 So he's very much interested in light?
02:43 Yes, absolutely. He tries to sculpt light.
02:50 Is he a young painter?
02:52 No, he's 35 years old. He's pretty much been working for about 10 years.
03:01 We've been showing him internationally for 3 years.
03:10 Are you happy with the flow this year?
03:12 Absolutely, we are very happy.
03:14 They have done a lot of effort to make the fair better.
03:20 I think they are succeeding in the flow.
03:23 We had a lot of visitors yesterday and also today has been quite busy.
03:29 We must say that we are very happy.
03:32 Is there a town show?
03:35 We have no rosette there. It's still going until Sunday.
03:39 Then next week, Friday, we can have a feature hall.
03:42 So thank you very much for the interview.
