Nanna Hänninen awarded with William Thuring Prize 2012

Gallery TAIK is very delighted to announce that the Helsinki School artist Nanna Hänninen was granted with the first price of the William-Thuring prize 2012 endowed with 14.000 €.

Explanatory statement of the jury:
Nanna Hänninen lives and works in Kuopio, Finland, and has held a number of international exhibitions, e.g. in Germany and Spain. Hänninen graduated from the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 2002. She has taken used versatile possibilities of photographic material: like long exposure times, negatives backlinks colors and multiple exposures. In spite of the experimentation, her pictures are combined with a strong and clear analysis. Hänninen has so far been able to renew her career several times (e.g., the series Fear and Security and New Landscapes).
