The annual Master of Arts exhibition by the Aalto University School of Art and Design is being held in the heart of Helsinki. 90 professionals who have graduated in the fields of art and design will be taking part in the exhibition with their thesis works.

The title of the exhibition is City of Senses, and the main themes are the planning and tuning of the urban environment, and the future prospects for art and design. In the visual arts, ’the slow arts’ will also be on display in addition to the media works: drawing, cartoons and photographs inspired by light and nature.

- The Master of Arts 2010 exhibition is an exciting adventure both for the participants and the public. A shared journey through time will take us to both the history of Helsinki and the future of art and design’, promises the exhibition curator Marita Liulia.

Marita Liulia is media artist who has become internationally renowned particularly as a pioneer of interactive media art. Recently, her exhibitions have been on display exceptionally much in Finland. The Choosing My Religion - Uskontoja jäljittämässä exhibition has been shown in Kiasma, at the Tampere Art Museum and at the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum in Turku. In spring 2010, the exhibition will be on display at the Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art in Vaasa. Liulia’s Tarot exhibition has recently been shown at the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum and at the Salo Art Museum.
