Bingo-galleriassa on festivaaleilla esillä ruotsalaisen Tusen Serier kollektiivin sarjakuvanteköiden näyttely.
Käyttäen keltaista ja sinistä väriä, Tusen Serier maalaa kuvia kaksinaismoralismistä, ilmiöstä joka on läsnä päivittäin, mutta joskus liian ilmeistä ohitettavaksi.
Kun sanotaan jotain, mutta tehdään jotain muuta. Kun syytetään tai rankaistaan jotakuta jostain mitä itse tekee salaa.
Näyttely on Tusen Serierin taiteilijoiden ja CBK:n yhteistyötä ja siinä tutkitaan kaksinaismoralismin teemaa, sekä sen eri muotoja, yksilöistä politiikkaan. Kollektiivin jäsen Leon Stekla on tavattavissa avajaisissa ja Oulun Sarjakuvafestivaaleilla 3.-6.11.
Näyttely toteutetaan yhteistyössä Tusen Serierin kanssa.
During the festivals, there will be an exhibition from a swedish cartoonists at Bingo-gallery.
With the colours yellow and blue, Tusen Serier paints images of double standards (Dubbelmoral). A phenomenon that exists around us daily but at times becomes too obvious to ignore.
Like times when we are told to not waste energy by choosing low energy light bulbs when they at the same time are made with a planned obsolescence.
Like times when we speak of public safety but more cameras are intruding on our privacy and more police are patrolling the streets.
Like times when politicians say they want to fight racism in society but the next day step up the purge of undocumented immigrants.
To say one thing but do something else. To blame or punish someone for something that you secretly do yourself. This is a collaborative exhibition by some of the artists from Tusen Serier and CBK where together they explore the theme of double standards and its different shapes, from individual to political.
This exhibition is made in collaboration with TusenSerie.
The Oulu Comics Center has panels for every day to look, to read, to borrow, to buy and to draw. In the Comics Library, Sarjasto, you can experience panel filled moments and marvel on the spot or borrow and take home. Street art brings a riot of colors to the streets and fairways. The Oulu Comics Festival fills the city with panels once again in this year. The festival is the largest annual comics event in the arctic region. The capital of Northern Comics is a lively and inspiring meeting place in the field of comics culture. This site offers a lot of information about Oulu region’s, northern Finland’s and Arctic region’s comics.
