Espoo Museum of Modern Art
InCollection
InCollection is a series of annual commissions and exhibitions produced jointly by Saastamoinen Foundation and EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art.
Through InCollection, Saastamoinen Foundation develops its permanent collection by commissioning an artwork from a visionary artist. The artist creates the work site-specifically for the museum’s architecture and its surroundings.
A curated exhibition will be organized in conjunction with the commission to shed further light on the artist’s current practice.
