press release

The seventh collection display of Kiasma, Fractures of Life - Political Contemporary Art in Kiasma's Collections, shows that art is still political, even if its message is not voiced as a direct manifest. Instead of political slogans, the political messages are embedded in the depiction of the everyday and observations of people's immediate surroundings. The works by Finnish and international artists give insight to the diversity of the everyday and simultaneously take a stance on social and human issues.
