Artist Collective Kunst is a multidisciplinary Action Group and a cooperative unit that organizes cross-disciplinary and performative exhibitions and interventions. Kunst works as a conversational and executing organ in which the authorship of an individual artist is not emphasized but the authorship is shared. The collective was awarded the National Art Award of Uusimaa 2018. Artist Collective Kunst consists of six finnish artists: Christina Holmlund, Pia Paldanius, Jarmo Palola, Sirpa Päivinen, Anu Suhonen and Julia Weckman.
