Exhibition #41 – The House of Play and Rain

24.2.2017 – 19.3.2017

The House of Play and Rain is the first in a series of three exhibitions, as part of Hanna-Kaisa Korolainen’s doctoral studies at Aalto university. The exhibition is inspired by various visual artists, from Raoul Dufy to Niki de Saint Phalle. Rugs, woven jacquards and printed fabrics create a home-like setting, where influences from the imaginary Paris of 1920’s are combined with the artist’s childhood scenery of 1970s Finland. Presenting the sketches, materials and tools behind the artwork reveals the mystery behind the artistic process.

Exhibition #103 – Linda Linko & Milla Vaahtera / Serifs and Jellybeans

4.4.–24.5.2025
The works in Linda Linko’s and Milla Vaahtera’s exhibition form a common perspective on making art – through joy and a deep exploration of forms. Their work is united by a striving for optimism, without forgetting sensitivity. Both also perceive colours and shapes in the same way as typography. “We see the foot, the ends, the curve, the gravity and the relations – the positive and negative space. Eventually, the boundaries between typography, landscape painting, portraiture and glass sculpture fade awaym, as long as you look closely enough.”

Exhibition #102 – Didi NG Wing Yin / Not Just Something

28.2.–29.3.2025
“Through carving, I aim to reveal the unseen essence of wood. Every mark, texture, and cut represents my reflections on the material, inviting viewers to connect with the wood’s silent yet hidden language. Each artwork is a record of thinking through making, where each piece embodies my study of the nature of wood itself.”

Exhibition #101 – Ilari Hautamäki & Santtu Mustonen / Once in a Hyper Moon

25.1.–22.2.2025
This unexpected exhibition presents a collection of works that explore three-dimensional textures, color combinations, and various techniques used to create texture-filled surfaces. The materials used by the artists, such as glass and paper, serve as the foundation for the pieces. The artworks blend the organic and industrial, as well as the controlled and spontaneous, in ways that reflect each artist’s unique approach.
