In Contemporary Art Museum Kiasma in Helsinki, an exhibition “There and Back again – Contemporary Art from the Baltic Sea Region” opened on November 9th. The exhibition also presents the works of Estonian artists.

Estonian artists who participate are Alexei Gordin, Flo Kasearu, Karel Koplimets, Kris Lemsalu, Jüri Okas, Jaanus Samma, Tea Tammelaan and Jaan Toomik.
The exhibition connects the art fields of Baltic region and Finland.
