Ars Fennica is an annual art award assigned to an artist in recognition of distinctive artistic output of high merit.

Hans Rosenström works with installations that deal with the viewer’s psychological and physical relationship with a specific moment or space. The emphasis is on the presence of the viewer, the work is not fulfilled until it’s experienced. Rosenström’s first exhibition at Helsinki Contemporary, Divisions – And Other Possibilities, was seen in June 2014. His works are currently on display at Cranbrook Art Museum in Michigan, USA and at Wäinö Aaltonen Museum of Art in Turku, Finland.
