Katharina Grosse (b. 1961), German artist actively exploring new possibilities in painting as medium, will be taking over the main exhibition halls on the upper level in HAM Helsinki Art Museum. Two new installations will be shown, one of which artist will be painting on site. Grosse, who has distanced herself from the two-dimensional conventions of painting, will transform the exhibition halls into art works engaging in an active correspondence with the architecture of the space, and focusing on painting as a process and intervention.

Powerful and raw colours as her tools, Katharina Grosse wants to examine the impact of painting in present reality and to bring painting visible in our everyday lives. The visitors of the exhibition become active participants as they move within the installations, and their actions affect the perceptions and experiences of others in the space at the same time.

Come Back as a Flower / 20.8.2021- 9.1.2022

Ana Mendieta: Silueta Works in Mexico, 1973-1977 / Photo: HAM/Hanna Kukorelli

Come Back As A Flower is a group exhibition weaving delicately around the Silueta series (1973–1980) by Ana Mendieta, which is formed by pieces held in the museum collection. Mendieta’s ground-breaking work is once again extremely relevant, highlighting observations about the relationship between humans and nature, the personal as political, mystical spirituality and the material nature of art.

The multivoiced exhibition brings together artwork from the HAM collections as well as outside them, and offers visitors a space for being, sensing and thinking.
