Priss Niinikoski: the interaction of body, space, and sound as the starting point of the work

↓ Watch an authorized performance documentation of Priss Niinikoski’s Sonic Mediations, filmed at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art in April 2025! ↓

The artwork is on display in the Dialogues collection exhibition, and the related performances are also part of the Saastamoinen Foundation Art Collection. Sonic Mediations was the first performance acquired for the collection, documented and archived in the collection management systems. The performance documentation serves both as archival material for the collection deposit and as a set of instructions for reperforming the piece.

Dialogues introduces a new concept in the presentation of the Saastamoinen Foundation Art Collection. The exhibition features pairs or groups of works that engage in free dialogue with one another, encouraging visitors to compare and draw parallels between them.
