For example, elbows have been used to support the pedestal of Nick Cave’s work. The Sara Hildén museum says that it has clarified the signs.
Many visitors have noticed that they have been warned not to get too close to the statues.
Kallio now tells Yle that he couldn’t believe his ears at the show. The man who went before the rock bent down to look at the statues and did not touch them.
– He was told not to cross the line. The man stopped and looked uncertain. What the hell line can’t be crossed?
Kallio also looked at the ground and didn’t see any lines on it, but the seams of the floor tiles.
The staff had replied that the shadow line drawn from the box to the floor must not be crossed. It was the usual shadow on the floor from the ceiling lamps and the desk drawer.
– The man left in a rage and stated that no one can understand that a shadow on the floor means some forbidden area.
A line or string drawn according to the rock would be more understandable. Many social media users say that they have received similar instructions from the line.
– None of the people I saw touched or were any closer than, for example, to the works of similar size upstairs, says Kallio.
Museum: directions clarified
The museum says it has clarified the signs.
– You must not lean on the table. Do not reach over the table. That’s what that line means.
The table refers to the stand on which the works are placed.
NIck Cave’s work has been the exhibition’s most popular shooting target.
– Support has been sought from the elbows. A few (visitors) had to be pointed out.
