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.
Institut finlandais: Almost All the Flowers in My Mother’s Garden
Lokal x Almost All the Flowers in My Mother’s Garden marks the return of a collaboration between Lokal Gallery and Institut Finlandais. Discover a new selection of handmade art and design pieces curated in dialogue with Hilla Kurki’s photography exhibition at Institut finlandais 12.4.–2.8.2025.
Bloom 2025 / Open Call
We are delighted to be having our eighth Bloom exhibition, Lokal’s biannual young artists’ exhibition. Bloom has become an established platform for young blossoming creatives to present their works in a curated group exhibition context.
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.
