Jonna Kina : BELOW ZERO Art Prize

7 Mar-22 Apr 2018

Overview

Artist in Residence with Beaconsfield January-March 2018 Jonna Kina’s gallery studio is open to the public on Thursdays 2-5pm and Saturdays 2-5pm and by appointment. Emerging from Finland into the international arena, JONNA KINA is the first recipient of BELOW ZERO – a new contemporary art prize for emergent Finnish artists launched in 2017. Stimulated by a relationship between anarchism and the marble industry and a desire to work with sculpture and film, Kina set off to research the quarries of Carrara during the winter of 2017/18. She became fascinated with the structures of this landscape and the techniques of working with stone.
