Lokal’s Summer Satellite in Billnäs
Lokal returns to the idyllic 1800’s ironworks village of Billnäs at the peak of summer; this time in a new location – an old spade factory – just across the street from last year’s venue.
As a continuation and a homecoming of Lokal’s exhibition A Prima Vista at 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen this coming June, the expanded group exhibition At First Blush is a celebration of the feeling that wells up in one’s being at the sight of a new love, with the awakening of a new season, or as an artist discovers a new expression. The theme of the exhibition is the blossoming of new life in late spring and early summer – that annual miracle. In typical Lokal fashion, the group exhibition consists largely of worlds and work ensembles that combine the traditions of fine arts, refined craftsmanship and collectible design.
Artist list to be announced later in May, stay tuned.
Opening invitation to follow, too – do mark Saturday the 27th of June into your calendars!
