Upcoming Exhibitions

Magdalena Abakanowicz

Helsinki Art Museum | Helsinki, Finland
May 6, 2026–August 30, 2026

The Polish icon of sculpture, Magdalena Abakanowicz, will make her large-scale debut in Finland as her organic textile sculptures fill HAM’s grand arched halls in all their height and breadth. Renowned as a pioneer in creating fibre-based sculptures and installations, Abakanowicz’s impressive “Abakans” will dominate the exhibition space with a striking presence.

Magdalena Abakanowicz emerged as a pioneer in creating organic, fibre-based sculptures and installations in the 1960s and 1970s. HAM’s grand arched halls will be filled with the artist’s iconic textile sculptures, “Abakans”, as well as impressive jute sculptures.

Terminal Piece

Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig (mumok) | Vienna, Austria
June 20, 2026-February 7, 2027

Terminal Piece is an inaugural exhibition and a vision for the future, marking the start of a new chapter for the mumok. It also proposes a new way of considering the museum, its collection and, the experience of both in their entirety and complexity. Conceived as an exhibition in several acts, Terminal Piece takes a straightforward yet decisive curatorial approach, bringing together works from the collection alongside new productions and external loans. One specific artwork is taken as a starting point to consider the museum as a whole: the first acquisition made under the directorship of Fatima Hellberg. The choice of work entails an engagement with notions of viewership, prompting reflection on which side of the work we occupy and demanding our participation.

Terminal Piece will be accompanied by an extensive event program and a publication co-edited with Camilla Wills of Divided Publishing, which will include an existing text by Kate Millett and new writing by Ariana Reines, and other authors.
