Espoo Museum of Modern Art opens its 20th anniversary year with an international group exhibition

In Search of the Present is EMMA’s ongoing series of exhibitions examining the key phenomena and questions of our time. This year’s edition asks what it means to seek a physical or emotional place in an era marked by uncertainty, mobility, and disconnection. It presents immersive, large-scale installations alongside more intimate work. Together, the artworks offer a setting for dwelling, listening, and feeling at the threshold of our own experience and the parallel worlds they open. “Visitors can slow down with Marina Abramović’s participatory work Counting the Rice, immerse themselves in one of Kimsooja’s best-known works To Breathe, that is now created in dialogue with EMMA’s architecture, and become absorbed in the glowing light of Helen Pashgian’s installation”, says EMMA’s Chief Curator Ingrid Orman. Artists presented in the exhibition are Marina Abramović, Haruka Kashima, Kimsooja, Tarik Kiswanson, Germaine Kruip, Ken Matsuba
