ARS22: Living Encounters
The exhibition ARS22 – Living Encounters will bring the most current and compelling practices and authors of international contemporary art to Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma creating a space dedicated to shared experiences and community. The major exhibition is the first to be shown at the newly renovated Kiasma in April 2022 in Helsinki, Finland.
From its inauguration in 1961, the ARS exhibition series has showcased spearheading international contemporary art for local, regional and global audiences every four to five years. The upcoming instalment in Kiasma in 2022 is the tenth in the series, featuring a broad range of works by artists representing different approaches, generations and mediums. ARS22 will also include landmark works from different decades that will provide a historical backdrop for the topical and urgent issues featured in the show. Some of these iconic pieces are from Kiasma’s own collection, and others are loaned specifically for the exhibition.
