Exhibition #107 – Domus Primavera

21.2.–24.5.2026
All objects have an energy or spirit – and this of course implies objects of use, just as much as it is an inherent aspect of artwork. Art is a way of inhabiting existence, it is a state of being in its own right. Our homes can reflect something of that state; they are places that nourish us in the most instinctive of ways. Lokal’s spring exhibition spans over the entire transition of the seasons, bookmarked by a metamorphosis around the Spring Equinox. This spring salon brings together a multitude of materials such as paper, fibreglass, wood, ceramics, watercolour, oil paint, textile and glass.

Exhibition #106 – Matcha

7.1.–15.2.2026
The front space of Lokal Gallery will temporarily take the form of a teahouse, where, alongside Rutsuko Sakata’s and Kari Virtanen’s tearoom installation, meditative works by artists and makers from Fiskars will be on display.

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.
