Helsinki Biennial is an international art event that brings outstanding contemporary art to Helsinki’s archipelago nature.
The third biennial takes place from
8 June to 21 September 2025 on Vallisaari Island, in Esplanade Park, and at HAM Helsinki Art Museum.
“An international extravaganza which – two months in – has outstripped even the expectations of its organisers, and simultaneously brought life and meaning back to a forgotten island with a chequered past.”
“From awe-inspiring sculptures to mind-bending installations and captivating performances, this new biennial embraces both established and emerging artists in a mesmerizing showcase of artistic excellence.”
The Helsinki Biennial’s exhibition publication includes detailed information about the artists and their works, rich imagery, and a curators’ essay. The publication is available at the Helsinki Biennial Shop on Vallisaari Island, at the HAM Shop in Tennis Palace, and from our webshop.
