IHME Helsinki is bringing together the worlds of art and science in the time of climate crisis and biodiversity loss. The annual public commission by an internationally recognised artist continues to be the core of the programme. In addition to that IHME Helsinki produces 4-6 events every year in collaboration with art and scientific instutions. IHME Helsinki aims at carbon neutrality in all its activities.

The IHME Helsinki commission 2020 by artist Jana Winderen will be postponed until August 2021. Winderen wants to draw our attention to the state of the Baltic Sea.

In 2021 there will be two commissions as both the commission for 2020 and 2021 will be realised for the audiences to be experienced.

The coronavirus epidemic and Finnish Government measures to slow its spread may cause changes in the programme.

Towards ecologically sustainable art institutional practise – Ecoseminar

Thursday, November 19, time to be announced later, HAM seminar room, Eteläinen Rautatiekatu 8

What have we learned about ecological sustainability and carbon neutrality in the work of an art institution so far and what might be the next steps? What kind of structural changes should take place in the society at large in order to make it easier to obtain sustainable practises e.g. in residency programmes and art production? Seminar will take place at Helsinki Art Museum HAM seminar space and it will be streamed online.

In collaboration with Mustarinda, HIAP- Helsinki International Artist Programme and Frame Contemporary Art Finland.
