Quoted from Kiasma website:
The Finland-based Iraqi artist Adel Abidin (b. 1973) will present a series of new installations that merge sound, moving image and sculptural elements. Known for a sarcastic and ironic approach, Abidin challenges the audience to examine critically things like national and sexual identity and the concept of heroism. Abidin is a rising star in contemporary art. He has exhibited his work in the USA, France, the UK and Egypt. He represented Finland at the Venice Biennale in 2007. The exhibition opening in February will be Abidin's largest museum show to date in Finland.
