Espoo Museum of Modern Art
EMMA Talks | Experiments in Concretism
Presented on the opening day of the exhibition, the event features three artists who will discuss the background and process of their work. Elina Autio and Maija Närhinen will talk about their works which were commissioned for this exhibition, and Elina Juopperi will talk about Inheritance, a work that is still in process. The talk is moderated by Henna Paunu, one of the two co-curators of the exhibition. The language of the event is Finnish.
Experiments in Concretism presents a fresh look at the tradition and contemporary forms of concretism, highlighting in particular the many ways in which modernism is reinterpreted and commented on in contemporary art. The show also marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of artist Lars-Gunnar ‘Nubben’ Nordström (1924–2014).
