#SOLUspa with Ernest Truely 
May 17–30, 2021
SOLU Space, Luotsikatu 13, Helsinki
Appointments available daily from 9:00h to 21:00h

Welcome to #SOLUspa to experience the transformational power of art and hairdressing! 

During his micro-residency at SOLU Space, artist Ernest Truely offers visitors art school haircuts, hair styling, henna tattoos and other treatments that transform both body and mind. 

Truely, who’s currently based in Helsinki, has been developing his performance art intervention Ernie’s Pop Up Spa in galleries, art festivals and artist residencies in Europe, Russia, and the U.S since 2015. He applies artistic skills and processes to hairdressing - for instance, ways of knowing through feel and intuition. 

In his practice, Truely explores touch, trust, intimacy and transformation through participatory, site-specific relational art. He has deepened his knowledge of hairdressing through professional training in Stadin Ammattiopisto in Helsinki.
