Kuvan Kevät at the Kirpilä Art Collection: Performance Art Weaving Through Spaces and Emotions 7.4.2025 On Sunday, June 8 from 2–3 PM, the performance art of master’s students from the Academy of Fine Arts, Uniarts Helsinki will take over the Kirpilä Art Collection.These unique performances are spread across the rooms of the Kirpilä Art Collection, exploring themes of touch, friendship, and emotions embedded in the space—as well as what it might feel like to be a cloud, drifting slowly. The pieces are framed by electronic soundscapes, fragments of song, and intimate one-on-one encounters.
