Description: EMMA - Espoo Museum of Modern Art celebrates its 10th year by starting a new exhibition series 'In Search of the Present'. The first exhibition immerses in current issues, as well as considerations on who we are and where we are going. 0Artworks by 22 international artists are displayed. In the Search of the Present Handbook opens the main themes of the exhibition through the artworks. 0The exhibition concept was inspired by the 1929 collection of essays by Olavi Paavolainen, an influential Finnish modernist writer and thinker, in which he discusses the essence of the modern human in the modern, changing world. His thinking offers astounding parallels to questions we are asking ourselves today. 'In Search of the Present' turns the gaze towards current issues that are shaping art and society at large and encourages viewers to participate in the public debate.00Exhibition: EMMA - Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Finland (12.10.2016-08.01.2017.).
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at Espoo Museum of Modern Art, October 12, 2016 - January 8, 2017.
