Elmgreen & Dragset: 2020 26 Sep 2020–17 Jan 2021
Elmgreen & Dragset has developed an exhibition concept especially for EMMA and have transformed the museum space into a completely different environment: familiar yet surreal, “like a film you can walk into”. The exhibition is entitled 2020. Running through the presentation of works is an underlying concern for the loss of togetherness in a culture that emphasises the individual. As an exhibition, 2020, may make you, the viewer, feel completely lost. Have we finally reached a juncture where we will have to take stock of the way we lead our lives?

EMMA – Esbo moderna konstmuseum presenterar en länge emotsedd retrospektiv över Howard Smith (1928–2021).
