Heini Aho and Antti Laitinen take part in the group exhibition Navigating North – Works from the Wihuri Foundation Collection at the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki. 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 exhibition features works by 48 artists, and runs until 2 April 2023.
“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.” –Kiasma
