Kohta. Helsinki

Emily Wardill | Bi

14.11.–21.12.2019

Emily Wardill has not exhibited in Finland before, but she is well known in the European art scene for films and installations that are both embodiments of thought and meditations on things, both language-based abstractions and corporeal sensations.

Bi, a new work commissioned by Kohta, is half of a diptych reversing Eugene O’Neill’s famous play A Long Day’s Journey into Night into a contemporary journey from darkness into light. (The other work, Night for Day, will be premiered at Secession in Vienna in June 2020.)
