Exhibition #41 – The House of Play and Rain
24.2.2017 – 19.3.2017
The House of Play and Rain is the first in a series of three exhibitions, as part of Hanna-Kaisa Korolainen’s doctoral studies at Aalto university. The exhibition is inspired by various visual artists, from Raoul Dufy to Niki de Saint Phalle. Rugs, woven jacquards and printed fabrics create a home-like setting, where influences from the imaginary Paris of 1920’s are combined with the artist’s childhood scenery of 1970s Finland. Presenting the sketches, materials and tools behind the artwork reveals the mystery behind the artistic process.

At First Blush is a celebration of the feeling that wells up in one’s being at the sight of a new love, with the awakening of a new season, or as an artist discovers a new expression. The theme of the exhibition is the blossoming of new life in late spring and early summer – that annual miracle.
Exhibition #109 – Paula Pääkkönen: Karamelli
21.8.–19.9.2026
Karamelli is a journey into a world of sweetness and imagination, where glass sparkles in delicious colors and broken glass is temptingly reminiscent of sugar. On the border between beauty and danger, the familiar and the strange, every gate opens a door to a new world.
