Kari Cavén and Anne Koskinen are featured in Vantaa Art Museum Artsi’s group exhibition Empathy, running until 18 October 2026. The exhibition explores the layered nature of empathy, and examines how an individual recognizes and responds to another’s feelings while expanding the perspective: how empathy intertwines with society, culture, and interspecies relationships. Empathy is often defined as the ability to put oneself in another’s position – to understand another’s thoughts and feel their emotions. Can empathy also serve as a tool of power? How is empathy distributed differently among various human groups and species? Why do some people or animals evoke strong empathy in us, while others remain outside it?

Elina Merenmies, Jani Ruscica and Mari Sunna are featured in Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma’s new collection exhibition A Dream in Four Colours. The exhibition presents curated selections from the Finnish National Gallery’s collection of approximately 43,000 works, and is on view until 10 January 2027. The exhibition can be experienced as one might observe a dream – through fragmentary, wondrous encounters. It invites visitors to approach art intuitively, without seeking to explain or define it. Meanings shift and shimmer, evoking ineffable experiences that resist explanation and linger beyond words.

Besides old European art, the exhibition features paintings, prints and sculptures from the 19th century up to the present day, all from the Finnish National Gallery’s own collection. The artworks carry on a dialogue with poetry, written by the poet Henriikka Tavi. The exhibition has been curated by Kersti Tainio.

Ahead of the exhibition, the institute invited visitors to participate in creating Dahlgren’s immersive installation ‘The Wonderful World of Abstraction’, to the institute’s garden. In cojuction with the exhibition Dahlgren did a performance on the streets of Paris: Demonstration is a silent, non-political group march in which participants carry signs featuring Bærtling’s paintings.

In Hämeenlinna, Vesa-Pekka Rannikko’s solo exhibition Starling Gets Spots is on view at Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation’s Ikimetsägalleria, a gallery supporting the conservation work of the foundation. The exhibition features Rannikko’s delicate relief intarsias in dyed plaster and an animated drawing. The reliefs, shifting fluidly between painting and sculpture, show nature with its full intrinsic value. The little fables or thoughts suggested in the subtly coloured intarsias conjure up a translucent vapour cloud, a water droplet or the wings of a starling. The exhibition runs until 14 March 2026.
