Hänen teoksensa analysoivat nykykulttuuriamme tilana, jossa inhimillinen olemassaolo määräytyy brändien, kuvien, kulutustuotteiden ja logojen kautta, ja jossa kulutustuotteet ja brändit saavat inhimillisiä piirteitä." - Annamari Vänskä, tutkijatohtori, Tukholman yliopistoSaatavissa ekslusiivisella joulupäällisellä 24.12 asti
”Kaikki avoimin mielin katsomaan, ja itkeä saa!” Näin taiteen keräilijä Seppo Fränti kuvailee kokoelmaansa. Värikkäässä kokoelmassa abstrakti minimalismi kohtaa voimakkaan ekspressiivisen tyylin. Tämä kirja kertoo Seppo Fräntin elämäntarinan hänen kokoelmansa kautta - kuinka hänestä tuli keräilijä ja miten kokoelma on vaikuttanut hänen elämäänsä. Kokoelmassa näkyvät erityisesti keräilijän ja taiteilijoiden läheiset ystävyyssuhteet. Fränti näkee teoksen osana taiteilijaa. ”Täällä sitten syödään ja juodaan, ja tuo matto on se, missä ollaan aika lailla nukuttukin”, Fränti kertoo. Nyt Fräntin rönsyilevän kodin taideaarteet ovat päässeet osaksi Nykytaiteen museon Kiasman kokoelmaa. Hullu rakkaus -kirja esittelee kokoelman suurelle yleisölle. “Come with an open mind. And crying is allowed!” This is how art collector Seppo Fränti introduces his life's work: a colourful art collection, in which abstract minimalism goes hand in hand with powerful expressionism. This book tells Fränti's life story through the art that he has amassed: how he became a collector and how art has affected his life. The collection says much about Fränti's close friendships with the artists, whom he cannot separate from their artworks. “This is where we have eaten and drunk together, and that is the rug on which many have slept,” Fränti reveals.Now treasures from Fränti's sprawling private collection have been donated to the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. Mad Love presents the Seppo Fränti Collection to the public.

Serlachiusten teollisuussuku aloitti taiteen keräilyn runsaat sata vuotta sitten. Nykyisin tuhansia teoksia käsittävän kokoelman ytimenä ovat klassikkoteokset Suomen taiteen kultakaudelta sekä vanhan eurooppalaisen maalaustaiteen arvoteokset 1500-luvulta lähtien. Gösta Serlachiuksen taidesäätiö alkoi kerätä nykytaidetta 2010-luvun alussa, ja se on kartuttanut nykytaidekokoelmaansa suunnitelmallisesti mutta valikoidusti kotimaasta ja maailmalta. Kuusi katsetta kokoelmaan esittelee kokoelmaan kuuluvia nykytaidehankintoja vuosilta 2010-2022. Näitä ovat esimerkiksi Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Riiko Sakkinen, Ville Lenkkeri, Marita Liulia ja Elina Brotherus.

In a wide-ranging 2007 study of Claude Lévi-Strauss's aesthetic thought, Boris Wiseman demonstrates not only its centrality within his oeuvre but also the importance of Levi-Strauss for contemporary aesthetic enquiry. Reconstructing the internal logic of Lévi-Strauss's thinking on aesthetics, and showing how anthropological and aesthetic ideas intertwine at the most elemental levels in the elaboration of his system of thought, Wiseman demonstrates that Lévi-Strauss's aesthetic theory forms an integral part of his approach to Amerindian masks, body decoration and mythology. He reveals the significance of Lévi-Strauss's anthropological analysis of an 'untamed' mode of thinking (pensée sauvage) at work in totemism, classification and myth-making for his conception of art and aesthetic experience. In this way, structural anthropology is shown to lead to ethnoaesthetics. Lévi-Strauss, Anthropology and Aesthetics adopts a broad-ranging approach that combines the different perspectives of anthropology, philosophy, aesthetic theory and literary criticism into an unusual and imaginative whole.
