LANDSCAPE
23 Sept 2006 – 4 Nov 2007
"Landscape as a genre in art is a historically evolved convention of viewing, presenting and appreciating nature. Consequently, representations of landscapes in contemporary art should be seen as part of the tradition of landscape art and natural beauty, on which works of contemporary art seem to be commenting. They not only continue the tradition, but also distance and deconstruct it," says Hanna Johansson in her article that will be published in the exhibition catalogue. The works from Kiasma's collections shed light on the contemporary idea of a landscape.
