KjARTan Slettemark: The Art of Being Art in Oslo (Until 23 Feb) Norwegian-Swedish artist Kjartan Slettemark was a pioneer in many areas and one of Norway’s most beloved artists. He was one of the first Nordic artists to work with performance and activist art. He has been and still is a major role model for political street art and performance art – though he effectively drove a cleft through the arts scene in Norway and the art press. The Art of Being Art is the first comprehensive retrospective since
his death in 2008. Mon-Fri 11am-5pm, Thu 11am-7pm, Sat & Sun 12noon-5pm. Museum of Contemporary Art, Bankplassen 4, Oslo. www.nasjonalmuseet.no Mika Taanila in Helsinki (Until 2 Mar) The exhibition Time Machines presents major works by Finnish film-maker and artist Mika Taanila from the past 10 years. The themes of Taanila’s art stem from technology, although the works themselves do not take a stand either for or against it. The artist dwells in an intermediate zone between documentary film and experimental video. Tue 10am-5pm, Wed-Fri 10am-8.30pm, Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 10am-5pm. Kiasma, Mannerheiminaukio 2, Helsinki. www.kiasma.fi
