Shop: Exhibition Pieces

Lokal Bazar 2025

This December, as a sequel to last year’s Bazar, Annankatu 9 becomes the number one address for some of the most magical and thoughtful gifts. Lokal Bazar brings together a selection of artists’ works on paper, paintings, sculptures, wall reliefs, textile works and photographs; a hybrid of a market and an exhibition of accessible art, with all pieces priced under 500 euros.

Factory 2: Correspondences, Helsinki

2.–20.7.2025, Lokal

In this iteration of Correspondences at Lokal, the artists engage with nature through the work of their hands, allowing different experiences of time and place to overlap and intertwine within a shared space. As they quietly respond to one another—through gazes, gestures, and unspoken dialogue—the exhibition becomes a momentary commune, where enduring relationships from distant places gather briefly and tenderly.
