Exhibition #78 – Hearth
26.11.–22.12.2021
Lokal Gallery
Annankatu 9, Helsinki
Our theme for this winter reflects heat, warmth, the home, sharing stories with our loved ones over a meal, and our primal human relationship with fire. Studies tell us that people with access to fireplaces are happier. So, to honour these wet and dark winter days, and to keep the fire from extinguishing, this exhibition is a symbolic celebration of the hearth. We invited a group of artists to interpret this theme in their respective mediums.
Participants:
Jay Garden Jung, Juho Huttunen, Liucija Kostiva, Shan Shan Lim, Lotta Mattila, Fredrika Lindeberg, Ren Tong, Ananya Tanttu, Aurea Tanttu, Milla Vaahtera, Jaana Wahlsten
With ceramic design items by Aura Latva-Somppi and Udumbara, and jewellery by Fanni Lyytikäinen.

Exhibition #102 – Didi NG Wing Yin / Not Just Something
28.2.–29.3.2025
“Through carving, I aim to reveal the unseen essence of wood. Every mark, texture, and cut represents my reflections on the material, inviting viewers to connect with the wood’s silent yet hidden language. Each artwork is a record of thinking through making, where each piece embodies my study of the nature of wood itself.”
Exhibition #101 – Ilari Hautamäki & Santtu Mustonen / Once in a Hyper Moon
25.1.–22.2.2025
This unexpected exhibition presents a collection of works that explore three-dimensional textures, color combinations, and various techniques used to create texture-filled surfaces. The materials used by the artists, such as glass and paper, serve as the foundation for the pieces. The artworks blend the organic and industrial, as well as the controlled and spontaneous, in ways that reflect each artist’s unique approach.
Exhibition #100 – Niidome & Lautenbacher / Hiver – Fuyu
7.12.2024 – 18.1.2025
In the wintertime exhibition, wood and ceramics complement each other. The pitch black and glossy white wooden surfaces and the tones of red clay brick alongside porcelain are windows to other worlds – they bring play, warmth and comfort to the middle of this season.
Exhibition #99 – Sasha Huber & Petri Saarikko / Like Night and Day
18.10.–16.11.2024
In this exhibition two artists, Sasha Huber and Petri Saarikko, come together to explore themes of otherness and connection.
