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.

INBJUDAN för medierna: Esbos Nelli flyttar till Kalajärvi, torsdag 25.5 kl. 1811.5.2023 11:00:00 EEST | Kutsu

Bronsskulpturen Esbos Nelli som Kerttu Horila har designat för esboborna är EMMAs gåva till Esbo som fyller 50 år som stad. Verket avtäcktes på våren 2022 i Gäddvik. Skulpturen har designats för att vara flyttbar, och tanken är att den ska byta omgivning med jämna mellanrum. På det sättet kan den bli en del av vardagen för så många esbobor som möjligt. Nu flyttar Nelli till Saudarkrokurparken i Kalajärvi. Det är Esbo ungdomsfullmäktige som har valt ut platsen.

Espoo's Nelli is a bronze sculpture by Kerttu Horila created for the people of Espoo. It was gifted to the City of Espoo by EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art on the occasion of the city’s 50th anniversary. The sculpture was unveiled in the Espoo district of Haukilahti in spring 2022. The nomadic sculpture will be relocated regularly, bringing joy to the daily lives of as many Espoo residents as possible. Nelli’s new home is Saudarkrokur Park in the district of Kalajärvi. Her new location was chosen by the Espoo Youth Council.
