Aaron Heino: Off Topic 2.6.–12.12.2021

Off Topic highlights new work by Aaron Heino, winner of the 2019 Fine Arts Academy of Finland Prize. Revisiting the visual vocabulary of Pop Art, Heino’s dynamic sculptures play with tensions between masculinity and femininity, combining classical materials such as marble and granite with intriguing fusions of steel, fibreglass, and painted aluminium.

Hesselholdt & Mejlvang: The White Exhibition 2.6.–29.8.2021

Hesselholdt & Mejlvang is a collective formed by the Danish artists Sofie Hesselholdt and Vibeke Mejlvang, who draw our attention to ideologies and their symbols. The White Exhibition looks into the topic of whiteness which, according to the artists, is not neutral but a system we are all part of. Their exhibition at EMMA consists of a new installation activated through daily live performances.

The performance will be staged during the opening day from 1 pm to 6:30 pm.
