Navigating North - Works from Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation Collection

The exhibition showcases Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation’s contemporary art collection, with a focus on works by artists from or working in Northern Finland.

The Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation Collection is one of Finland’s most prestigious collections of contemporary art. This exhibition presents a selection of artworks from the Wihuri Foundation Collection chosen by Kiasma’s curators.

The exhibition looks north, featuring numerous artists who either come from northern Finland or reside there, highlighting themes related to the natural environment and local communities. One of its primary thematic concerns is the relationship between humans and nature. It portrays how nature is a source of life and strength, but also an object of control and exploitation upon which humans have left their imprint.
