Research Pavilion

Fine arts, concerts, performances, workshops and discussions with an inquiring mindset – every two years, the Uniarts Helsinki Research Pavilion showcases what artistic research is all about. On 2023, the Research Pavilion was funded by Niilo Helanderin säätiö. It took place in Suomenlinna and Helsinki Music Centre in June with a tagline "Puzzled together".

Originally organised in connection with the Biennale in Venice, the fifth Uniarts Helsinki Research Pavilion hosted a series of artist and artist-researcher residencies during spring 2023 and culminated in an on-location event on 5 to 21 June 2023 in Helsinki. The residencies in April and May were organised in cooperation with Uniarts Helsinki, Helsinki International Artist Programme (HIAP) and the Saari Residence maintained by the Kone Foundation.
