Free Exhibitions
The Free Exhibitions (Swedish: Den Fria Konstutställningen, Finnish: Vapaat taidenäyttelyt) were art exhibitions organized in Helsinki, Finland in the years 1896, 1898, 1900 and 1903. They were labeled "free" because they did not have a jury to decide whose paintings or sculptures could be on display as other art exhibitions in Finland did at the time. These exhibitions were organized by the artist Sigurd Wettenhovi-Aspa (1870–1946), who also had the largest number of works displayed in all of the Free Exhibitions. The artist Torsten Wasastjerna was also involved in the organization of the first two exhibitions. The exhibitions attracted attention among the press and public and even a few of Finland's most famous artists, including Eero Järnefelt and Walter Runeberg, participated in one of them. However, the exhibitions gradually lost their popularity, and at the last exhibition in 1903, Sigurd Wettenhovi-Aspa and his brother Ragnar Asp were the only two exhibitors.
== Wettenhovi-Aspa as an artist ==
Wettenhovi-Aspa studied art in Denmark, where he was taught by artists such as Kristian Zahrtmann and Peder Severin Krøyer. In 1892, Wettenhovi-Aspa moved to Paris after he was awarded a grant. While living in Paris, Wettenhovi-Aspa took part in the Salon de la Rose + Croix in 1893 with Finnish sculptor Ville Vallgren and in Salon de Champ-de-Mars in 1894. In 1895, he was awarded a gold medal in an art exhibition in St. Etienne, France. Wettenhovi-Aspa had made his debut as a painter in 1891 in the Finnish Art Society's exhibition. He was a regular participant in Finnish art exhibitions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but he also arranged many exhibitions in Finland and other Nordic countries. Throughout his career, Wettenhovi-Aspa was seen in the Finnish press as a person seeking publicity and sensation whose art was at best controversial and amateurish. Wettenhovi-Aspa was a much contested figure in the Finnish art world, but at the same time, he was friends with many famous Finnish creative artists including composer Jean Sibelius and painter Akseli Gallén-Kallela.
