Kun esineen arvostus yhteiskunnassa nousee tai laskee, taiteilija Nina Beierin kiinnostus herää. Kyseessä voi olla vaikkapa käsin kääritty sikari tai vintage-lavuaari, joiden väreille annettiin aikanaan imperialistisia nimiä, kuten Indian ivory tai Bali brown. Veistoksissaan Beier rinnastaa esineitä ja materiaaleja toisiinsa. Uusissa asiayhteyksissä ne saavat jälleen uusia merkityksiä; esimerkiksi teoksessa Plug (2018) paksu sikari sojottaa pastellisen pesualtaan viemäriaukosta. Beierin Osat-niminen näyttely avautuu Kiasmassa perjantaina 22. maaliskuuta.
