The satellite of the Onoma co-operative’s summer exhibition Hidden approaches multisensory experiences through art, design and craftsmanship, now also in Lokal’s homely environment. The artists featured in the Hidden exhibition reflect on the meanings and possibilities of the various senses in their own work. A number of factors contribute to how someone experiences and senses a work or an object. Often, however, the interpreter is strongly led by the creator of the work or object. The satellite exhibition is co-curated by Laura Sarvilinna and Katja Hagelstam.
Artists participating in the satellite exhibition:
Klaus and Elina Aalto / Erna Aaltonen / Antrei Hartikainen / Hemmo Honkonen / Sasha Huber / Mari Isopahkala / Minja Kolehmainen / Eija Koski / Tero Kuitunen / Nathalie Lautenbacher & Naoto Niidome / Jenni Mikkonen / Tuulia Penttilä / Renata Schirm (Jakowleff) / Theresa Storbacka / Maija Toukolehto

SOMMARSTILLEBEN 2025
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. The abundance consists of works in various mediums and materials, in varying scale and subject, by a number of Finnish and Finland-based contemporary artists and artisans.

Factory 2: Correspondences
28.11.–31.12.2024, Seoul
The works of five Korean and Finnish artists, who work by hand using different natural materials, correspond as if they are exchanging handwritten letters. It creates a temporary “commune” where diverse elements such as people and objects from here and there, light and colour of time and space converge and leave a lasting impression.
