Finnish Pavilion

This week marks the opening of The pleasures we choose , an exhibition presented in the Pavilion of Finland at the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. The multifaceted collaboration by artists Pia Lindman, Vidha Saumya, Jenni-Juulia Wallinheimo-Heimonen, curators Yvonne Billimore and Jussi Koitela, and architectural designer Kaisa Sööt speaks about the inseparability of art and life. With the long-awaited opening around the corner, we talked with the artists about their journey towards the Biennale and beyond.

The Venice Biennale, founded in 1895, still holds the position of one of the most important international events showcasing contemporary art. For seven months, the Biennale brings together artists from all over the world to present their works in numerous exhibitions and events.
