Exhibition #45 – Avata

30.6.–2.9.2017

Interior architect and awarded artist Hanni Koroma is celebrating her 20 year artist jubilee year. To honour this, Lokal has invited Koroma to compile their summer exhibition. The theme of the totality, put together by Koroma, is the act of opening; in honour of the anniversary, it is time to yet again open new doors, as well as eyes and thoughts. The exhibition works are are united by ‘opening’ in many aspects.

SOMMARSTILLEBEN

15.6.–24.8.2025
This summer, Lokal makes an all-summer-long expedition to Billnäs, an old ironworks village to the West of Helsinki. Bringing beauty in the form of artwork, crafts and handmade homeware into a space which still starkly echoes its unique history, the Sommarstilleben exhibition is a celebration of Lokal’s core values. The still lifes are an ode to the magical, fleeting nature of the Nordic summer.

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.”
