Research Pavilion



University of the Arts Helsinki organises a Research Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale. The dynamic between artistic research and contemporary art will be explored through the theme of experimentality.

While the exhibition Experimentality showcases contemporary art, the research events will ask: How does experimentality manifest itself in contemporary art? Has the discourse on artistic research and its methodologies redefined our ideas of experiments and experimentality? Does artistic research facilitate the emergence of new ways to discover connections between science, aesthetics and politics?

The commissioner of the Research Pavilion is Professor Anita Seppä, PhD, and it is curated by artist Jan Kaila, DFA, and Professor Henk Slager, PhD. The project is coordinated by Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Arts Helsinki.
