Art Exhibition Opening Event: Jessica Segall: Oddkin

The opening event for the exhibition Oddkin will be held on Friday, January 23, 2026, from 5 to 8 pm in the exhibition space Halli. Kalevan Navetta’s Winter Day event will be held at the same time in the building. Event is free of charge for everyone. You are warmly welcome!

Jessica Segall’s solo exhibition presents multi-channel video works and installations by the American artist. Endangered nature can be hostile to humans. In Segall’s works, vulnerable environments appear attractive, delicate, and dangerous all at the same time. Segall’s works reveal the fantasies and contradictions associated with power relations between humans and nature. The visually striking works in the exhibition get under your skin and resonate in your body.

Program

The exhibition’s opening event is part of Kalevan Navetta’s Winter Day event.
