The spring has brought Finnish artist Aapo Nikkanen (@aaponewborn) to New York as our Artist-in-Residence at Pioneer Works (@pioneerworks).

Aapo Nikkanen is an artist, researcher, and hypnotherapist. His current work focuses on hypnotic performances and photography.

In his performances, the guests visit speculative realities through hypnosis. The works address how contemporary systems increasingly operate at the level of cognition, shaping how we interpret, trust, and respond to the world — often bypassing critical reflection.

In his photographic practice, subjects are captured while in a hypnotic trance. Rather than posing for the camera, they inhabit imagined states, producing images that allow temporarty detachement from from the social roles and masks normally shaping one’s behaviour.

The work of Nikkanen has been shown internationally for the past 10 years. His work has exhibited in numerous international institutions, including at Palais de Tokyo and Fondation Ricard (Paris), New Performance Turku Biennale, International Film Festival Rotterdam, La Casa Encendida (Madrid), The Living Art Museum (Reykjavík), and de Appel (Amsterdam).

From April to June 2026, Aapo will be in residency at @pioneerworks in New York, developing new work and explorations along the way. Welcome to NYC Aapo!

The 𝘍𝘊𝘐𝘕𝘠 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 essay of the month is now live!

In this essay, @mimosa.tast asks a simple question: what is up with opera?

From Rosaliá's operatic pop experiment to Timothée Chalamet’s viral critique, opera has re-entered the cultural conversation.

In April, 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, the final opera by Finnish Kaija Saariaho, made its debut at the Metropolitan Opera. Set between a wedding and a school shooting tragedy in Helsinki, it opens the dialogue of what art can and should do in a world already overwhelmed by real violence.

“Innocence is not a performance you enjoy. It is a performance you do not leave the same.”

We’re proud to present Out of Silence, a sound installation by Hans Rosenström (@hans.rosenstrom), curated by Alina Girshovich (@alina.grsh), now open at Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt Island through June 21.

Inspired by the music of Arvo Pärt and the architecture of Louis Kahn, the installation was created in partnership with the vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis (@voxclamantis.ee). Speaking to the power of the human voice and the importance of silence and presence, the work unfolds as a spatial journey through the park, encouraging visitors to move, listen, and connect.

Out of Silence is generously supported by the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation; the Ministry of Culture of Estonia; Saastamoinen Foundation; The Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland; the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York (FCINY); and the Consulate General of Finland in New York.

The opening reception on April 28 was sponsored by @longdrink, @marimekko and @kyrodistillery.
