Hyundai Motor Co. said Wednesday it has selected Maret Anne Sara as the next artist for the "Hyundai Commission," a prestigious annual exhibition held at Tate Modern in London.
Now in its 10th year, the Hyundai Commission selects one artist each year to create a new installation for the Turbine Hall, the central exhibition space at Tate Modern, to highlight innovative contemporary art.
Sara is known for her work exploring ecological issues from the perspective of the Sami people, an indigenous group residing in the Sapmi region, which is today divided between Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Through her art, Sara examines the impact of Nordic colonialism on the Sami people while emphasizing their unique traditions and cultural values.
Her exhibition will be on display at Tate Modern from October until April 2026.
Hyundai Motor also announced that it will extend its partnership with Tate Modern, which began in 2014, through 2036. With the extension, Hyundai will continue to support both the Hyundai Commission and the Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational.
"Over the past decade, our partnership with Tate has cultivated a space for dialogue through the arts that reflects our time, transcending generational, geographical and disciplinary boundaries," Euisun Chung, executive chair of Hyundai Motor Group, said.
