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 launches the spring season at EMMA by exploring the various forms and experiential nature of concrete art.

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.

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.
