Curated by Alanna Heiss and Marketta Seppälä
This exhibition, organized by P.S. 1 director Alanna Heiss and Finnish Fund for Art Exchange director Marketta Seppälä, aims to chart the overlap between inner and outer landscapes in contemporary Finnish art through some thirty works made since 1972. Many of the show’s sixteen artists work in time-based media, and film, video, and sound installations will feature prominently. Participating artists such as Salla Tykkä and the Finnish Screaming Men’s Choir are known on the international scene; a greater number, among them the Pink Twins, sculptor Markus Copper, and Tea Mäkipää (who will exhibit a video shot using a camera affixed to a reindeer’s antlers), will be relatively new to New York audiences. A program of musical performances, part of the museum’s annual Warm Up series, will accompany the show.
