Exhibition info
A Dream in Four Colours presents curated selections from the Finnish National Gallery’s collection of approximately 43,000 works. This exhibition departs from a single unifying theme, instead inviting 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.
The exhibition brings together many works that have not been on display at Kiasma for many years. In total, works by 49 artists are included.
Exhibition artists: Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Uzair Amjad, Riikka Anttonen, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Milla Aska, Dara Birnbaum, Dineo Seshee Bopape (Raisibe), Louise Bourgeois, Taru Happonen, Pakui Hardware, Åke Hellman, Ingela Ihrman, Appu Jasu, Alice Kaira, Antero Kare, Shoji Kato, Marjaana Kella, Minjee Hwang Kim, Jussi Kivi, Ville Laurinkoski, Iisa Lepistö, Leena Luostarinen, Olli Lyytikäinen, Kaari Martikainen, Elina Merenmies, Henry Moore, Pasi Myllymäki & Risto Laakkonen, Marika Mäkelä, Bruce Nauman, Minh Ngọc Nguyễn, Frans Nybacka, Nam June Paik, Laila Pullinen, Sepideh Rahaa, Heli Rekula, Jani Ruscica, Oskari Ruuska, Hermanni Saarinen, Cindy Sherman, Marianna Simnett, Päivi Sirén, Frank Stella, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Mari Sunna, Jenna Sutela, Jenni Toikka, Osmo Valtonen, and Annu Vertanen
