Kunsten is brought to life and Aalto’s architecture is inhabited as the Finnish contemporary artist Elina Brotherus presents a series of entirely new works created with the museum as her setting.
Kunsten Museum of Modern Art has invited the internationally acclaimed Finnish contemporary artist Elina Brotherus to create an exhibition presenting camera-based and performative works that engage in a dialogue with the museum, its architecture, and its collection.

Valérie Belin, one of the leading voices in contemporary photography, focuses her work on the relationship between reality, representation, and artifice. Through frontal, serial images influenced by minimalism, she introduces the human figure to explore questions of identity and simulacrum.
From 2006 onwards, she has incorporated colour and developed a visual language she defines as “magical realism”. With an international career that includes institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Centre Pompidou, her work invites us to look beyond the surface and engage with the power of contemporary imagery.

We are delighted to announce our new collaboration with French artist Valerie Belin.
Her first solo exhibition at the VAN DER GRINTEN GALERIE is scheduled for fall 2026!

In this new exhibition Roy Mordechay dovetails his pictorial world with the physical space of the gallery, which has the structure and ambiance of a three-room bel étage flat in an historical building. The presentation evolves in three series of paintings that were created in the period from 2022 to 2026.
