But above it all, it has exerted a special influence and developed into a sort of an accomplice for those artists of the outsiders scene. This is not strange at all, since it was from the bottom of the heart of the finnish culture, there, in the deep forests of Karelia, where the Kalevala was brought to life and such special and magical spirit still survives within the national conscience and the outsiders, pure on their artistic intentions and cultural concepts, are, at least in my humble opinion, the most purified heirs of the Kalevala tradition, a tradition by the folk to the folk. So to make an exposition of this nature was a must, with no other speech but that of the very art. I am sure the exhibition will be remarkable curated and not to mention the catalogue, produced by such gifted women. Congratulations to Finland and long live the Kalevala.<br />And Henk, thanks for the link to the Nordic Culture Spot!! =)<br />Receive my best regards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
