Exhibition #61 – TypoCraftHelsinki’19
The theme of this years TypoCraftHelsinki is “Kauno”, or “Joint Writing”. We have invited graphic artists, designers, craftspeople and artists to design artworks or products that take Kauno as their starting point. We want to see ideas which combine the theme – freely interpreted – and typography in a new way with the material and form, and in which typography expands from two dimensions to at least three.

Exhibition #110 – Linda Linko: Not Just One
25.9.–24.10.2026
“For me, painting faces is a relaxing form of play; it allows me to depict a person in a kind of in-between state — listening, observing from the sidelines, surprised or bewildered, slightly hazy, or conflicted. Beyond control, out of the public gaze, not performing. I believe that in these undefined moments, a person reveals their most interesting self. For we are never just one.”
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.
AT FIRST BLUSH | Billnäs Satellite
28.6.–23.8.2026
Lokal’s Summer Satellite in Billnäs
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.
