The Ostrobothnian Museum presents the exhibition Twisted Realities by Swedish artist and sculptor Roland Persson until March 31. All pieces of the exhibition will be on display until Wednesday, March 20.
Swedish artist Roland Persson (b.1963) showcases a solo exhibition where existing works of the artist’s production interact with newly produced sculptural installations. This dialogue forms the basis of the exhibition. The starting point for the design was Last Horse on Earth, part of the Amos Rex collection, for which the artist created a new conceptual poetic quadruped that carries seahorses on its back. Last Horse on Earth will return to Helsinki as part of the Amos Rex collection exhibition before the exhibition in Vaasa ends. If you wish to see the pair of artworks together, it is possible until March 20.
At Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art, visitors can explore variations of lines in the group exhibition Dimensions of a Line, featuring both Finnish and international contemporary artists. The exhibition will be on display until April 14 on both floors of the museum.
Tikanoja Art Museum’s art historical exhibition showcases, until April 21, depictions of forest interiors and rocky coastal landscapes by Berndt Lindholm (1841–1914), one of Finland’s most significant landscape painters of the 1800s.
