Kuvan Kevät 2025

Master’s Degree Show 17.5.–15.6.

About the exhibition

The annual exhibition Kuvan Kevät showcases the works by students completing their master’s degree at the Academy of Fine Arts. Students from all four subject areas participate in the exhibition: Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking and Time and Space Arts.

Kuvan Kevät 2025 exhibits the work of up to 46 fine arts students. The exhibition will be spread across the Kuva/Tila gallery, other floors of the Mylly building and outdoor spaces around the Sörnäinen campus. 

This year the diverse bodies of artistic work on show, relate to each other along themes that render the art object as: memento mori, gift, archaeological artifact, binary code, dystopian remnant, wayfinder, sacred and devotional offering, simulacrum, timekeeper, worm hole, fable, abjection, magic, and, finally, as dematerialised.

Academy of Fine Arts’ postdoctoral researcher and curator Nina Liebenberg oversees Kuvan Kevät 2025. Her curatorial practice tests how exhibition-making can promote the interaction of varied knowledges, generating outcomes that transcend any singular perspective.
