Abstract
The art theme in the Marsio building (Otakaari 2A) is Sharing Imaginations, which refers to sharing imagination and experiences with others. The theme describes that sharing imagination is necessary in order to be able to discuss, internalise new things, work together, create new things, network with others and function as a community.
The aim of Marsio's public art collection was to make extensive use of Aalto's different disciplines. Especially the art located in the outer areas is especially important for the students of Aalto University. It was also requested that the works would bring out humor. Artist Laura Könönen was chosen to create the outdoor artwork and five paintings by artist Maija Luutonen were chosen to be placed in Marsio's staircases.
Sharing imaginations art collection curation:
Minna Suoniemi, School of Arts, Design and Architecture
