Minna Pöllänen (she/her) is a London-based visual artist, PhD researcher at the Royal College of Art, and a Senior Lecturer at the University for the Creative Arts. Pöllänen’s practice, which is positioned in the intersection of sculpture, relational art and performance, explores body’s relationship to technology, labour and care, often through tactile encounters. Her recent works and PhD research focus on our (lacking) relationship to man-made space junk.
Pöllänen is a recipient of Kone Foundation PhD research grant in visual arts in 2025.
Her work has recently been shown/performed at: Goldsmiths CCA , London (2025); Cooke Latham Gallery, London (2025); Beaconsfield Gallery, London (2024); Copeland Gallery London (2023); Bronx Museum of the Arts in New York (2022); Hanaholmen Gallery (2022), Helsinki and CFEVA, Philadelphia (2019).
