6 June – 19 September 2027
Helsinki Biennial 2027 brings together visionary artists from Finland and around the world. The first twelve participating artists have been announced.
The biennial spreads across three distinct venues: the unique maritime setting of Vallisaari Island, Esplanade Park in the heart of Helsinki, and HAM Helsinki Art Museum’s Tennis Palace premises.
The fourth edition of Helsinki Biennial is curated by internationally acclaimed Curator Mami Kataoka and Finnish museum professional and contemporary art expert Arja Miller.
In a world defined by political turmoil, environmental upheaval, and deepening uncertainty, the fourth edition of Helsinki Biennial turns towards unknowns not with fear but with curiosity. Taking Unknowns as its curatorial framework, the biennial approaches what lies beyond comprehension through imagination and artistic inquiry. It dwells in the unresolved and the hidden, where uncertainty itself becomes ground for wonder and for reimagining how we understand the world.
