Metamorphosis, April 5–September 3, 2023 

Metamorphosis is a new exhibition created for EMMA by visual artist Hannaleena Heiska and dancer-choreographer Minna Tervamäki featuring a short film, installation and a series of performances. The title refers to the exhibition’s transformative impact on both the museum space and the two artists’ respective practices through their seamless interdisciplinary collaboration, which now for the first time also assumes the form of an entire exhibition and short film. In a series of performances to be staged in April, May and August, the artists will transform the exhibition space through choreography and painting. The exhibition venue is EMMA Arena, a space designed for new, experimental art. 

During the exhibition, EMMA will host two different performances, Metamorphosis I and Metamorphosis II, each to be staged five times. The performances are included in the price of admission. Kindly note that you must book advance via the exhibition’s website.

Experiments in Concretism at EMMA offers spatial experiences, powerful colours and geometric shapes5.3.2024 10:00:00 EET | Press release

Experiments in Concretism launches the spring season at EMMA by exploring the various forms and experiential nature of concrete art. The exhibition charts the broad spectrum of concretism through a dialogue between different modes of expression, material diversity and playfulness. The exhibition is curated from art in EMMA’s collections and includes works by more than 50 artists from the 1950s to the present day, as well as new commissions. The exhibition also celebrates the centenary of the birth of Lars-Gunnar ‘Nubben’ Nordström (1924–2014), a pioneer of concrete art in Finland.

Konkretismens experiment som öppnar på EMMA erbjuder rumsliga upplevelser samt geometriska formers och färgers kraft5.3.2024 10:00:00 EET | Tiedote

Konkretismens experiment inleder EMMAs utställningsvår genom att lyfta fram den konkreta konstens mångsidighet och upplevelsefylldhet. Utställningen granskar konkretismens breda mångfald i en dialog mellan olika uttrycksformer, materiell variation och lekfullhet. Helheten har kurerats ur EMMAs samlingar och den omfattar verk av mer än 50 konstnärer, från 1950-talet till idag, inklusive nya beställningsverk. Samtidigt är utställningen en hyllning till den finska konkretismens pionjär Lars-Gunnar ”Nubben” Nordström (1924–2014), hans 100-årsjubileum till ära.

EMMAssa avautuva Kokeileva konkretismi tarjoaa tilallisia elämyksiä sekä geometristen muotojen ja värien voimaa5.3.2024 10:00:00 EET | Tiedote

Kokeileva konkretismi käynnistää EMMAn näyttelykevään tuomalla esiin konkretistisen taiteen monimuotoisuutta ja elämyksellisyyttä. Näyttely tarkastelee konkretismin laajaa kirjoa eri ilmaisutapojen, materiaalisen moninaisuuden ja leikillisyyden vuoropuhelussa. Kokonaisuus on kuratoitu EMMAn kokoelmista ja se sisältää teoksia yli 50 taiteilijalta 1950-luvulta tähän päivään, mukaan lukien uusia tilausteoksia. Samalla näyttely juhlistaa suomalaisen konkretismin edelläkävijän, Lars-Gunnar ‘Nubben’ Nordströmin (1924–2014) 100-vuotisjuhlavuotta.
