On the Ending of Species 11/12/2022 November 12 - December 11, 2022 'An endling is the last known individual of a species or subspecies. Once the endling dies, the species becomes extinct, and extinction is forever. On the Ending of Species is a photographic series portraying slow, meditative states, animals quietly observing the plight of the world, and upheavals wreaked by humanity... Read more -

Stephan Balkenhol
Yellow – Blue – Red May 6 - June 5, 2022 German sculptor Stephan Balkenhol (b.1957) portrays human figures with archaic, raw-hewn spontaneity. His anonymous figures stand formally like monuments on pedestals, their faces expressionless, yet something about their bearing conveys an undercurrent of intensity as if they were absorbed in deep, furious thought. Balkenhol made a clear departure from dominant... Read more -
Susanne Gottberg
We Stand Together May 6 - June 5, 2022 Susanne Gottberg’s (b. 1964) new show is a powerful reflection of our present reality. As the title suggests, the only thing we can know for certain is that we are living in the midst of a collective event to which we cannot close our eyes or hearts. The historic calamity...

Kerttu Saali
Time of Light March 11 - April 3, 2022 Kerttu Saali's (b. 1994) new paintings evolved within an organic continuum that began in 2018. For Saali, the most important thing about painting is freedom: She nearly always paints without a plan or goal. Focal to her process are the basic elements of painting: color, light, and form. She is... Read more -
Kim Simonsson
Silhouette March 11 - April 1, 2022 In his new exhibition, Kim Simonsson (b.1974) presents two parallel worlds. In the first room, we see ceramic figures that appear frozen mid-movement, their surfaces coated in black fiber. Their uncanniness stems from how the black fiber dampens their plasticity, making them appear flat rather than three-dimensional. The second room... Read more -
Eeva Peura
Little Moon February 11 - March 6, 2022 Looking at paintings by Eeva Peura (b.1982) is like stumbling upon an alternative plane of reality. With their alluring absurdity, they grab us by the collar and yank us along for a wild ride. Her paintings are an amalgam of found images, imagined memories, and a contrary mix of paintings...

Jenni Hiltunen
Purple Grass February 11 - March 6, 2022 In her latest works, Jenni Hiltunen (b.1981) has surrendered herself to the painting process with gleeful abandon, permitting herself to play with different techniques and binge on delicious colors. Read more -
Viljami Heinonen
Arboretum December 10, 2021 - January 9, 2022 Viljami Heinonen’s (b.1986) recent works fall into a thematic category of jungle-themed paintings. The series is highly painterly and can be appreciated solely for its abstract qualities. Heinonen’s raw, unpolished swirls of paint carry reminders of his emphatically physical approach and his total emotional immersion in the creative act. In... Read more
