Pilvi Takala: Close Watch 1 February – 7 May 2023
Pilvi Takala’s Close Watch (2022) takes a critical look at how power is exercised in public spaces through the private security industry. Premiered at the 59th Venice Biennale at the Pavilion of Finland, the video work now returns to the Finnish context where the work and its research originally emerged.  

At EMMA, Close Watch will be presented in a new display responding to the museum’s architecture, and the exhibition will be accompanied by an indepth public programme. Pilvi Takala is the fifth artistto be featured in InCollection series of collaborative exhibitions between EMMA and Saastamoinen Foundation.
