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.

Lokal Bazar: Works on Paper

For three consecutive weekends we will host an event that we hope will spark your festive spirit and thoughtful gift-giving. Lokal Bazar: Works on Paper brings together a curated selection of artists’ drawings, paintings and prints on paper.
