Exhibition #46 – TypoCraftHelsinki’17

7.9.–29.10.2017

Expedition – an exploration, journey, or voyage undertaken by a group of people, especially for discovery and scientific artistic research.

The TypoCraftHelsinki journey started in 2015 with the TCH´15 exhibition in Helsinki. This exhibition was invited to Seoul in 2016, where a collaboration with Gallery Factory started. TCH´17 is a collaboration between Finnish, South Korean, Estonian and Chinese artists, who together explore the endless possibilities of TypoCraft.

21.2.–24.5.2026 All objects have an energy or spirit – and this of course implies objects of use, just as much as it is an inherent aspect of artwork. Art is a way of inhabiting existence, it is a state of being in its own right. Our homes can reflect something of that state; they are places that nourish us in the most instinctive of ways. Lokal’s spring exhibition spans over the entire transition of the seasons, bookmarked by a metamorphosis around the Spring Equinox. This spring salon brings together a multitude of materials such as paper, fibreglass, wood, ceramics, watercolour, oil paint, textile and glass.

18.10.–16.11.2025 In Karsikas' sculptures, ceramics, glass and wood refer to the forms and organic rhythms of nature, while Teva's works depict people balancing between the mystical and the everyday. The rebellion of Romanticism against the worship of reason was reflected in sentimentality, nature photography and a longing for the past. In this exhibition, it is expressed in slow working, an appreciation of craftsmanship and allowing materials to be imperfect and unpredictable.
