Magdalena Abakanowicz: Crossing Boundaries
06.05.2026 - 30.08.2026 HAM Helsinki Art Museum
Co-curator with Eulalia Domanowska
Project manager
Crossing Boundaries marks the first solo exhibition of the Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930–2017) in Finland. HAM’s grand arched halls are filled with the artist’s iconic textile sculptures, Abakans, as well as impressive burlap sculptures.
The impressive exhibition is divided into HAM’s two grand arched halls. The first one features the artist’s fibre works from the late 1950s to the late 1970s: early woven pieces, rope works and Abakans, which have been installed as spatial environments according to the artist’s original instructions, forming a spatial unity, a kind of textile forest.
The second part of the exhibition focuses on burlap sculptures, which the artist began making in the early 1970s. The sculptures consist of a series of similar forms, depicting groups of people and various forms from nature. They continue Abakanowicz’s lifelong interest in humanity, nature and all organic matter.
The curator of the exhibition is Eulalia Domanowska, Director of the State Gallery of Art in Sopot.
The exhibition is organised in cooperation with the Marta Magdalena Abakanowicz Kosmowska and Jan Kosmowski Foundation. The exhibition is supported by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland.

Free 90
25.04.2025 - 04.01.2026
HAM Helsinki Art Museum
Curator with Timo Valjakka
Project manager
Free Art School’s 90th anniversary exhibition at HAM is a celebration of painting. The exhibition presents the school’s 90-year history and its significance in the development of Finnish painting and modernism. From the school’s early days to the present, the exhibition highlights the connections between the artists and the special spirit that has run through the Free Art School throughout its nine decades.
The Free Art School was founded in 1935 on the initiative of art world influencer and patron Maire Gullichsen to offer an alternative to academic art education. Modelled after the “free academies” of Paris, the Free Art School was a champion of modern painting in Finland from its very beginning. The school has evolved from concretism and pure abstract colour painting towards the diversity of contemporary painting.
The history of the Free Art School and the artists who studied and taught there are approached through Leonard and Katarina Bäcksbacka’s donated collection, which is the heart of HAM and the City of Helsinki’s art collection. In 1915, the Bäcksbackas established the art gallery Taidesalonki, which showcased the works of several artists involved in the Free Art School – artists whose works the couple also acquired for their collection.
The exhibition is curated by Timo Valjakka and Satu Metsola.
The exhibition is organised in collaboration with the Free Art School.

100th Anniversary Exhibition of the Lallukka Artists' Home Foundation
Exhibition Series “Ateljee”
5 April – 12 June 2025
Curator
Lallukan Ateljee E1
Eteläinen Hesperiankatu 14, 00100 Helsinki
For its residents, the artists' residence is a multifaceted space where home and work, privacy and community, memory and creativity converge. Artists are not solitary creators; they are part of a broader dialogue that emerges through the space itself, the works of fellow artists, and the experiences of visitors. With each of the five exhibitions, the studio space is transformed into an entirely new whole.
The exhibition series celebrates diversity and is in a constant state of change. It is as vibrant and polyphonic as the artists' residence that surrounds it.
The exhibitions have been curated by Satu Metsola.

Nastja Säde Rönkkö: Survival Guide for a Post-Apocalyptic Child
17.05.2024 - 08.09.2024
HAM Helsinki Art Museum
Curator with Kati Kivinen
Project manager
Nastja Säde Rönkkö’s thought-provoking installation invites viewers to reflect on the uncertain future facing humankind and all living beings. At the core of the work, 26 videos examine strategies for crisis survival.
Filling one of HAM’s upstairs grand arched galleries, the videos are narratives about loss, longing and the last moments of civilization as we know it. Proposing strategies for coping with both the physical and emotional challenges of our planet’s impending breakdown, the content of the videos varies from practical nutrition tips for roamers lost in the forest to speculative imagining of worlds on other planets. The material gains personal relevance situated both against today’s global crises and individual emotional experiences.
The installation was originally produced by Lönnström Art Museum as part of the Lönnström Projects series in autumn 2022. Curated by Satu Metsola and Head of Exhibitions Kati Kivinen, the HAM version is rounded out with a new series of sculptures, paintings, and a soundscape by Timo Kaukolampi. The accompanying English-language publication Survival Guide for a Post-Apocalyptic Child is published in collaboration with the artist and Lönnström Art Museum.

Coordinating curator
Part of the curatorial team
Helsinki Biennial 2021 presented 41 international artists or groups of artists from both Finland and around the world. The artists were invited to come to Vallisaari and create new site-specific and temporary artworks or to exhibit existing artworks that will engage in a dialogue with the island.
Helsinki Biennial 2021 was curated by HAM’s head curators Pirkko Siitari and Taru Tappola.
Mutual dependence was the main theme of Helsinki Biennial 2021. Each thing and action has an impact on something else and supports the entirety. The title for the inaugural Helsinki Biennial was The Same Sea.

Paweł Althamer: I (am)
29.03.2019 - 08.09.2019
HAM Helsinki Art Museum
Curator with Pirkko Siitari & Sanna Tuulikangas
Project manager with Sanna Tuulikangas
Internationally acclaimed Polish artist Paweł Althamer’s (b. 1967) extensive solo show in HAM showcases his diverse and surprising work from three decades. Althamer will also create a new collaborative artwork for the show that invites visitors to explore, be inspired and seek freedom of mind, body and soul. Paweł Althamer: I (am) is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the Nordic countries.
The exhibition I (am) introduces museumgoers to Althamer’s extensive array of self-portraits, sculptures, installations, performance documentations as well as miniature worlds. The show includes a slide, originally created in collaboration with children, which child visitors can use.
Althamer will also create a new work for HAM in which he developes his method of creative play with open outcome further. One of the two large second-floor galleries will be converted into a white space where Althamer invites the audience to enter silently, dressed in white, and without their mobile phones. Althamer has likened his new work to the sauna and its purifying effect on mind and body. The white space is designed to purify the senses and the mind of the ever-present flood of external stimuli.

Julian Rosefeldt: Manifesto
19.8. - 15.10.2017
Kunsthalle Helsinki
Project manager
What is the role of the artist today? Julian Rosefeldt’s sensational 13-channel film installation Manifesto (2015) is an homage to the tradition of artist manifestos.
Rosefeldt constructed a collage of historical texts and combined the contents with contemporary contexts. The result was a ‘manifesto of manifestos’: 13 poetic monologues, which relay the voice of the artists, ranging from Dadaists to Situationists, from Kasimir Malevich to Jim Jarmusch. The texts, written with the passion of the youth, tell of a desire to change the world through art.
The Australian movie star Cate Blanchett performs an incredible acting feat by playing 13 different personas – including a teacher, a news anchor and a homeless man – and by breathing new life into both world-famous and less-familiar texts.
Manifesto is part of the Helsinki Festival program.
Me: Self-Portraits Through Time
27.5. - 6.8.2017
Kunsthalle Helsinki
Curator
How do you see yourself? How would you like others to see you? The self-portraits of artists offer glimpses into the innermost side of their makers. The works show artists who are noble and proud, but also plenty of humour and self-irony.
Kunsthalle Helsinki’s summertime exhibition shows more than 160 self-portraits from the end of the 19th century until present day. Among these, there are realistic replicas, eyes peeking from the corner of a mirror, and grotesque role play.
Like the selfies of our time, artist self-portraits have always served the purpose of self-optimisation: many self-portraits look back at us as an embodiment of the mythical artist, as a rare breed above the everyday. Others show an artist with less idealism, with even a gritty intimacy.
The exhibition includes paintings, photography, video, and sculpture works from more than a hundred Finnish artists.
Tom of Finland: The Pleasure of Play
7.5. - 7.8.2016
Kunsthalle Helsinki
Curator of the “The Early Years” with Pirkko Siitari.

In the world of Tom of Finland, everyone is allowed to be themselves – joy and pleasure belong to everyone. Kunsthalle Helsinki’s major exhibition portrays the artist’s work on wider scale than ever seen before.
The Pleasure of Play is the most comprehensive Tom of Finland exhibition to date, spanning six decades to include more than 180 drawings, 1930s childhood paper dolls, the full set of 1940s gouaches along with triptychs, individual drawings, storyboards and over 300 reference pages.
The exhibition was initially seen and conceived for and by Artists Space, New York in Summer 2015 and has been complemented with works and documentation portraying aspects of the personal history of the artist, such as early landscapes and photos lent from family albums.
The exhibition is produced in cooperation with Artists Space, New York.
Anu Pentik: Three Rooms
11.3. - 14.5.2017
Kunsthalle Helsinki
Project manager
The rugged beauty of Nordic nature sets itself in the Kunsthalle in the form of ceramics installations. The exhibition starts a new chapter in the lengthy career of Anu Pentik.
The Three Rooms exhibition highlights Anu Pentik (b. 1942) as an artist and celebrates her long career in the centre of Finnish ceramics. She is the founder of Pentik Ltd. and the artistic director of the company.

Niki de Saint Phalle
20.8. - 20.11.2016
Kunsthalle Helsinki
Curator with Camille Morineau
Project manager
Dancing women, extravagant sculpture parks and wild shooting – Niki de Saint Phalle’s (1930–2002) world is vibrant and humorous, with dark tones. Her radical way of making art and the social message of her work speak directly to our time as well. Kunsthalle’s exhibition presents a large selection of the artist’s iconic work: sculptures full of joie de vivre and curious collages.
The exhibition is a part of Helsinki Festival

Zabludowicz Collection
19.3. - 24.4.2016
Kunsthalle Helsinki
Nature meets contemporary art in Sarvisalo, Pernaja. The Zabludowicz estate hosts an artistic residency for young, international artists, whose work can be seen in different ways on the island. Art has spread to Sarvisalo, but the idyllic seaside venue is only open to public on special occasions so this exhibition offers an exciting opportunity to see works from Sarvisalo in the city.
This exhibition drawn from the Zabludowicz Collection presents contemporary art from nine artists who have visited or been exhibited in Sarvisalo.
Osmo Rauhala – The Book of Life
28.09.2012 – 13.01.2013
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Is everything just chance, or is life governed by some structure or memory which is capable of learning and of guiding us? Memory is a key component of our survival, but how can it be recharged? Can our inability to formulate a universal theory of life be due to the constraints of language?
Osmo Rauhala uses art to explore our ability to understand the reality we live in. In his paintings, Rauhala complements animal and plant symbolism with a pure world of abstract signs, pointing to the way we conceptualise and organise the things we see.
Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller – The Murder of Crows
17.02.2012 – 20.05.2012
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Curator with Pirkko Siitari

Thank You for the Music
20.1.–17.6.2012
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Curator with Kati Kivinen & Arja Miller
Music speaks directly to our emotions. Hearing a song can take us back in time. We copy the dress of our idols, our mood changes with music. Thank You for the Music – How Music Moves Us is an exhibition on how the experiences of listening to music, watching music videos or going to a concert can appear in the life and work of an artist, a music lover, a fan.
Music is present in the featured artworks as a source of inspiration. It can take the form of a soundtrack which supports or challenges the visual aspects of the piece. The central theme in the exhibition is the intense emotional response produced in us by music. Many artists have used the aesthetics of music videos as the starting point for their work, approaching the topic using a variety of media, including video, painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and installation.
The title of the exhibition is taken from a song by the Swedish band ABBA. Indeed, we have music to thank for the pieces in this exhibition.
Cream - Damien Hirst & his Contemporaries
10.9.–28.11.2010
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Curator with Arja Miller
CREAM, Kiasma's main exhibition in 2010 presented the works of Damien Hirst and his contemporaries mainly from private Finnish collections. With Damien Hirst as their most prominent member, the Young British Artists (YBA) group heated up the world's art market in the 1990s and made contemporary art a hot topic shared by the media and general public.
The exhibition shows works by 16 artists, most of whom started their career in London at the beginning of the 1990s. YBA was one of the most famous art phenomena of the era. In the 1990s, young British artists were like rock stars, and their artistic endeavours and personal relationships were followed by the art world and attracted wide media coverage.
The exhibition included installations, paintings, sculptures and videos, mainly from Finnish, but also from British collections. Works by Tracey Emin and Helen Chadwick were included from the Kiasma collection.
The Cream exhibition shows works by Angela Bulloch, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Tracey Emin, Ian Davenport, Mark Francis, Damien Hirst, Gary Hume, Callum Innes, Chantal Joffe, Michael Landy, Sarah Lucas, Jason Martin, Julian Opie, Marc Quinn, Sam Taylor-Wood and Helen Chadwick.
The exhibition curators are Arja Miller and Satu Metsola.
ARS 11
15.4.–27.11.2011
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Part of the curatorial team
Featuring 30 artists and 300 pieces of art, the exhibition touches on themes such as migration, environmental problems and western style urban life. Many of the contributing artists are from Africa, though the exhibition also features artists of African descent and Western artists whose work addresses African issues.
In addition to the artworks, ARS 11 includes performances, screenings and discussions held in Kiasma.
ARS 11 was the eighth ARS exhibition and was celebrating its 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, ARS 11 spread out to eight cities outside of Helsinki, extending as far as the Hallwylska museum in Stockholm.
Denise Grünstein
30.4.–15.8.2010
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
The first extensive Finnish exhibition by Denise Grünstein, one of the best known Swedish photographic artists, showcases approximately 40 large works of photographic art and one video installation.
Olav Christopher Jenssen
22.1.–28.3.2010
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Curator with Arja Miller
The exhibition on the fifth floor in Kiasma presents Jenssen's latest work, colouristically exuberant paintings and organic sculptures. The titles of Jenssen's works evolve slowly during the painting process.
The paintings of the Norwegian artist Olav Christopher Jenssen (b. 1954) are spontaneous, yet they are also highly controlled. Jenssen says he needs both approaches, which is why he keeps several canvases primed and ready in his Berlin studio. Because large works require discipline and sustained effort, Jenssen needs these smaller standby canvases as a counterbalance so as to maintain impulsiveness and a continuous movement and circulation in his studio.
Pipilotti Rist - Elixir
5.9. - 6.12.2009
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Pipilotti Rist creates intense visual worlds where sensual visual narrative merges with meditative soundscapes. The works are a Paradise that the artist invites her viewers to enter.
Elixir comprises six audio/video installations. They transform Kiasma's fifth floor into an immersive space where visitors can lie back on pillows and let themselves be carried away on the flow of images and music. The artist hopes that Elixir will be true to its title and serve as medicine for the mind - to care, nourish and energise.
The exhibition is organised in cooperation with the Boijmans Van Beuningen museum in the Netherlands.
HORROR VACUI
15.5.–9.8.2009
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Curator with Arja Miller
In their joint exhibition, Horror vacui, three prominent Finnish artists, Markus Copper, Jari Haanperä and Kimmo Schroderus, focus on spatial issues. They all have an aversion of empty space, and fill it with powerful ideas, sculptural volumes, motorised objects, moving images, lights and sounds.
Works in the Horror vacui exhibition redefine the concepts of space and scale. The empty space is filled totally, verging on claustrophobia, and the works appropriate it aggressively yet with insight. The artists featured in the exhibition are very different: two are sculptors, one is a media artist. The exhibition has two opposite poles: heavy, physical, stationary masses and moving lights and sounds. Traditional craftmanship and technology blend in unprecedented ways, pushing the borders of both sculpture and media art.
Presented in Kiasma's fifth-floor gallery, the exhibition also flows onto the fourth and second floors, as well as outside the building where Bogey, a giant sculpture by Kimmo Schroderus, will be set up in front of the entrance. The exhibition is curated by chief curator Arja Miller and curator Satu Metsola.
One of the works in the Horror vacui exhibition is Markus Copper's Estonia, which was donated to Kiasma collections by Friends of Kiasma association.
Fluid Street – alone, together
9.5.–21.9.2008

EGS: Writing My Diary
13.1. - 25.2.2018
Kunsthalle Helsinki
EGS (b. 1974) is one of the best-known Finnish graffiti artists worldwide. His work can be seen across cityscapes in dozens of different countries. In recent years he has widened his artistic scope to embrace more traditional art forms. The exhibits range from wall paintings to glass sculptures, and from works in ink to wooden installations.
EGS includes his three initials in all his work, re-shaping them into new forms and arrangements to the point of unrecognisability. By repeating these letters he not only enacts the fundamental calligraphic nature of graffiti, but also constructs his own lifelong travel journal: to the artist himself each individual work is a part of a complete whole that has spread to five continents and more than 50 countries over 30 years.
The exhibition is produced by the Finnish Art Society.

A Shared Atelier – Karin and Åke Hellman
21.10. - 19.11.2017
Kunsthalle Helsinki
Karin and Åke Hellman’s joint path lasted over six decades. They shared a life together, as well as a profession in the arts, an atelier, and the courage to dive into the unknown.
The exhibition A Shared Atelier brings the work of the Karin (1915–2004) and Åke Hellmans (b. 1915) work to where it all started from: both had their artistic debut at the Kunsthalle close to 80 years ago, in 1939.
The exhibition includes works from the 1930s until the 2000s. The exhibition is curated by Ph.D. Juha-Heikki Tihinen, Pro Artibus Foundation.

The exhibition is produced by the Finnish Art Society.
Paola Suhonen: Love on the Road
3.12.2016 - 8.1.2017
Kunsthalle Helsinki
What possibilities does an individual have to build a life that fits, one free of norms? How does love – our longing for it, seeking, finding it or giving it up – define us as humans?
Paola Suhonen shot her experimental documentary Poem Portrait of Nina during eight years, portraying Hollywood’s best known pornstar, Nina Hartley (b. 1959). Comprising of poetic snapshots and interviews in a multi-channel video piece, Hartley is seen for the first time through an artistic lens.

Julian Schnabel: The Conscious Gaze of Frightened Young Nuns
8.3.–13.4.2008
Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma
Project manager
The new works of the grown up ‘enfant terrible’ are linked with the sensational ‘plate paintings’ of the 1980s in an exhibition presenting the career of the prolific artist.
