On the 28th of January, KIASMA, Helsinki’s contemporary art museum, opens with “Tidelines,” an exciting new exhibition which will showcase a multidisciplinary collaboration of artists Raija Malka and Melek Mayici, and the composer Kaija Saariaho, whose work is inspired by the writings of Lebanese Amin Maalouf.
With the aim of investigating the meaning of identity in today’s culture, the trio have developed an art project which pays homage to the ideas of Maalouf. The central theme of Maalouf’s work – humanity as formed of multiple different identities; a cultural construction of often conflicting, clashing elements – is the basis for the three artists’ work, allowing them to explore artistic identity and create a singular experience which still expresses this sense of a multitude of voices. An unforgettable artistic experiment where the concepts of diversity and interaction cross paths.
KIASMA has always stood out for its innovative exhibitions and cutting edge ethos, and with this latest offering it has re-established itself as one of the most interesting art institutions in Europe. “Tidelines” introduces us to the work of some of the most promising Finnish artists today, whilst also masterfully combining different discliplines in a fusion of different medias and voices.
The exhibition is on until 13th March and will no doubt be one of the must-see shows of the year – not only for the range of the artists featured, but also the fascinating creative processes and ideas behind them.
