Helsingin sanomat, exhibition review 23.7.2014: “Aurinko osuu aaltoihin ja saa ne välkehtimään. Veden ääni on rauhoittava. Rantamaiseman äärelle voisi nukahtaa. Villa Roosan vintille on yksinkertaisin elementein rakennettu vaikuttava installaatio. Pia Männikön teos Kesäyön unelma koostuu pelastuspeitoista ja tuulettimesta. Kuun virkaa tekee hämärän huoneen päädyssä oleva ikkuna. Tällaiset teokset ovat kesänäyttelyiden suola. Tutuksi käynyt tila pystytään pienillä teoilla muuttamaan toiseksi.”
