Merenmies, Ruscica and Sunna on view at Kiasma

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.
