Veikkaus, who acquired a huge art collection, sold his works because there is no more room for them – the most valuable was sold for 8,000 euros
Veikkaus’ art sale open to all was a public success. Purchase decisions were discussed in the crowd and art did its business.
Several hundred buyers came to Veikkaus’ first art sale, most of them from the capital region.
The first visitors were already in line at the company’s old headquarters in Vantaa at seven o’clock in the morning, three hours before the start of the event.
Those waiting in line had prepared for the wait by bringing a picnic chair, something to read and by dressing warmly.
– I’m a morning person, so what’s up.
– There is a completely open wall in the kitchen, which should have a painting that looks like someone else’s.

True crime fascinates, but why? Reijo Mäki, Niina Repo and Mikko Kalajoki reflect on the charm of murders – live broadcast underway from the Turku Book Fair
In addition to the murders, the writer trio remembers their favorite childhood books. The theme of the Viikonvaihti fair event, on the other hand, is Fine Art in all its forms.
Murder never gets old, and the interest in murder mysteries is also ancient.
True crime literature about real-life crimes has become particularly popular, both bound or stapled, as audio books and podcasts. And traditional detective stories don’t do badly either.
What is fascinating about violent death? Is there any difference between a made-up detective story and a real murder in terms of the reading experience? Why are many people ashamed to admit that they enjoy murder mysteries?
The author trio Mäki, Repo and Kalajoki also remember their favorite books from their own childhood or youth.
What book made an impact as a teenager, and will it feel the same as an adult? Do they have any reading experiences to recommend for today’s children and young people? Opuses that inspire you to read, or has the whole idea of \u200b\u200breading as an educational experience outlived its time?
Visual arts as the main theme of the book fair
Before the start of the author discussion, we will get to know the Turku Book Fair live broadcast.
The fine arts theme includes different types of painting, sculpture, drawing, illustration, photography, graphic arts and comic art.
About 120 exhibitors and a total of more than 600 performers will participate in the Turku Book Fair. According to the organizers, almost all authors who published a book in 2022 will be seen in the Turku exhibition center.
– We are happy that after years of quiet events, literature can now be seen and heard on a broad front, says program director Huotarinen.

Samae Koskinen moved to the country – the apples rotted on the ground and the deer ate the peas
Samae Koskinen renovated the second home in Kanta-Häme. The warm summer surprised the musician who went to the gig: the cider barrels were rotting on the ground when he returned to his plot.
Busy gigs kept Koskinen away from the garden just as the apple harvest was ripening.
– There were a lot of apples, but they were all on the ground when I returned. I also asked my wife, who works in horticulture, if apple mummy disease can catch me.
Solace was provided by the Annabelle potatoes, which were delicious. Kale and broccoli also produced crops.
– The deer’s Eggheads ate the peas.
The growth of children also sensitizes the bass player
Koskinen has been making music longer than gardening.
Half standing still, he sang the song *You’ll soon get everything* from the new *Viima vie* album, in which a father watches his daughter grow up.
Koskinen has a 9-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter.
– It was cool to turn over this card too. I already know that I will miss these moments when my time is on the cards and there is always a fire to put out.
– There are still not enough singing bassists in the world.
The highlight of the light festival is the piece that sends greetings to Putin in the bunker: \”Welcome to take a selfie with this clown\”
Light artist Matti Jykylä says that some municipalities have canceled new light art events planned for winter due to the energy crisis. Traditional light festivals are organized as usual.
The lights flicker on Wednesday evening in Vantaa’s Koivukylä, when light artworks are tested. The edge of the forest seems to wave when the light sets it in motion. A couple on an evening walk stops to take pictures.
Today, Thursday evening, the public will be able to see all the works, when the light art event Reflektor Vantaa, which lasts until Sunday, starts.
It is a free event in the same way as Lux Helsinki, organized in January, which attracted more than a hundred thousand visitors last year.
However, Finland’s largest light art event Lux Helsinki is being organized as usual at the beginning of January. Similarly, Linnanmäki organizes light carnivals in October.
When talking about saving electricity, is the message of light art wrong in this time? The question clearly frustrates Jykylä.
However, the lighting artist understands why they are the ones who need a view on saving electricity.
– It’s a simple coil: people see light, aha, it takes energy.
Not everyone necessarily knows how much electricity the lighting consumes, continues Jykylä. Thanks to LED technology that has developed in recent years, the electricity consumption of the lights is reasonably low. An experienced light event organizer illustrates the matter with a rough calculation.
– The Mäkelänrinne swimming pool consumes more electricity in a week than the entire Finnish light art field in a whole year.
