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.

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. 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.
