• Exhibition #105 – Matias Karsikas & Armi Teva / Loves Me, Loves Me not 

    18.10.–16.11.2025
    In Karsikas’ sculptures, ceramics, glass and wood refer to the forms and organic rhythms of nature, while Teva’s works depict people balancing between the mystical and the everyday. The rebellion of Romanticism against the worship of reason was reflected in sentimentality, nature photography and a longing for the past. In this exhibition, it is expressed in slow working, an appreciation of craftsmanship and allowing materials to be imperfect and unpredictable.
