Tours to Jiri Geller’s exhibition
Join our knowledgeable guides for an in-depth introduction to the current exhibition and discover new perspectives on contemporary art.
At the end of the year, Helsinki Kunsthalle will be taken over by Jiri Geller’s Perfect World! This retrospective exhibition presents works spanning Jiri Geller’s career, from its beginnings in the late 1990s to recent years. The exhibition features several large-scale sculptural installations, including the escalator God Says No, the tidal wave The Big Time, and Battle of the Worlds, which invites visitors to play. The newest works draw inspiration from the animal kingdom with Geller’s characteristic twist. Several mechanical and moving sculptures are also on display.
