Updated weekly, SHAPE introduces and highlights a variety of current public events and exhibitions throughout the city.

This week’s highlights include four exhibitions:

📅 The exhibition Steps in the City at explores the layering of cities. The exhibition examines how issues related to the physical, cultural and visual construction of cities have been dealt with in the visual arts. The works on display at the exhibition also approach the urban environment as a space that tells about power and a place where power is exercised. In addition to this, the exhibition discusses experiences related to the urban environment in terms of safety and insecurity.

📅 Arte Povera – A New Chapter at explores how especially women artists have worked in the spirit of the Arte Povera movement from the 1960s to the present. The term Arte Povera, literally meaning “poor art”, refers to a movement that emerged in Italy in the late 1960s, when artists began creating works from discarded and modest everyday materials.

📅 In her solo exhibition house like moon at , Eeva Lietonen explores the experience of being in the world, materiality, and the layers of time. The exhibition intertwines past and present, the visible and the invisible. Themes such as soil, release, touch, and the cycle of matter create encounters where growth and decay, understanding and hesitation coexist.

This week’s highlights include two events and two exhibitions:

📍Welcome to a conversation with choreographer Camilla Stage (DK), who will share insights into her work and thought process behind the project The Ageing Body. How can the physical, psychological, energetic, and spiritual transformations that accompany ageing be made visible? If preconceived notions of aesthetics and rigid body ideals are set aside, what new forms of expression become possible through dance and choreography? The conversation will take place on 9 April, from 16:00 to 17:00, at the Nordic Library.

📍 The Tiny, Huge Zine is printed on thermal paper and displayed at the window. It continues a series of zine-making and reading activities presented in various formats and sizes. While the themes of the artist’s zines often explore neurodiversity and queerness in Finland, this edition focuses on other mundane topics, such as correspondences and childhood memories in South America. Fran Trento (b. Brazil, 1987) is an artist-researcher living in Helsinki, Finland and São Paulo, Brazil.

Updated weekly, SHAPE introduces and highlights a variety of current public events and exhibitions throughout the city.

This week’s highlights include four exhibitions:

📅Jaakko Hukkanen exhibition at consists of oil and beeswax paintings on canvas as well as framed pastels that explore a spatial experience and its meanings through visual arts. The works create parallel, inner spaces and offer the viewer an opportunity to step from the physical world into separate, symbolic and mental spaces, dream-like realities.

📅 In Anna Estarriola’s (b.1980) art, the borders of what is possible and impossible become ambiguous and our ways of perceiving reality are examined from many different vantage points and perspectives. In April 2025, Estarriola’s extensive solo exhibition Staged Circumstances and Piles of Things will open in the main exhibition hall of . Estarriola was born in Catalonia and currently works in Helsinki.

📅The origin of Garden-Theatre is to be found in the intersection of Roumagnac’s new project, Stages of Flower Power/s (2025-2028), and his second exploration of the Museum of Scenic Arts (Barcelona) reserves and collections, carried out in collaboration with Carme Carreño Pombar, curator of the archive, in October 2024. This time in the artist researcher focused on late 19th-century theatre set models and sketches featuring floral and garden motifs, a period significantly shaped by the transformative influence of electric power on Western scenographic aesthetics.

📅 In her B/looming exhibition at Milla Aska works with states and zones situated between material, body, and mind. Aska uses composition and brushwork to evoke tensions and movement in her paintings. The shapes and colour surfaces in these abstract, intensely physical works are in a constant shifting state. When observing the paintings and giving them time, the liminal qualities of Aska’s paintwork become tangible. As the image unfolds and reveals itself, a distance is created for the viewer. It is as if she succeeds in capturing a blur, a haziness – an outright mystery.

We are also premiering The Future Futures Talk Show, three episodes where young creatives, artists and filmmakers discuss how film can redirect our gazes.

📅 In Another Snake at , works created with found objects and toy-like motifs come together to form an associative language that echoes the speculative and open-ended nature of children’s play. The exhibition attempts to seek a liminal space between story and conspiracy, creation and manipulation, a place where meaning flickers, forms, and unravels.

📅 A core element of the exhibition at is Postlife – Tecnosocial magazine that focuses on societal changes through the lens of contemporary phenomena. The magazine delves into the evolving dynamics of technology, community, and the human condition. The exhibition extends this exploration, presenting a series of screen-printed artworks, each inspired by the articles, celebrating the creative processes of the contributors.

📍 Star children in the world is a show at that contains an insane mix of five mini-performances. The mini-performances have been made during the years 2022-2024 and each of their life’s challenges and physical blockages has been trembled, distressed, shaken, illuminated. Silliness, homemade, truthfulness, rejoicing, and airing of the beliefs have been and will be presented are now painted with an even bigger brush.

📅 Draped – Art of Printed Fabrics exhibition will wrap exhibition galleries in vibrant colours and fascinating patterns of printed fabrics. The exhibition highlights printed fabrics by exceptional artists since the 1930s, and views them through the lens of art. Printed fabrics are an integral part of Finnish design and everyday life; the patterns cover our homes, clothes our bodies and create memories. They touch us, communicate, convey meanings, and evoke memories. Through them, we have shaped identities and individuality, as well as a sense of security and belonging.

📍 Club Grief at is a club night for all grievers and friends. Club Grief is born out of the wish to allow grievers or grieving individuals to go clubbing in times where a normal club might not feel as the safest option. Dancing, clubbing and music hold the potential to host grief and to let grief come to the surface yet, most clubs are high-threshold for grieving individuals due to the pressure to perform in a certain (happy/uplifted/party-proof/exhilarating/excited) way.

📅 Kerttu Saali has adopted a darker palette and more intense style of expression in her latest paintings. Saali’s paintings at suggest nature’s cycles and growth processes, as if they were mimicking nature rather than just representing it. Their sensual quality invites the viewer to experience them holistically. The sense of sight awakens the other senses, invoking sounds, smells, and tactile experiences in the viewer’s imagination.

📅 Emilia Hakkarainen’s show Play Play Play at is open until 20th of February. ‘I love playing. I have done some studies about playing. When playing, I can imitate. I feel that through playfulness a charming awkwardness comes into my work. Through the works, I wonder what is true and what is not.’

📅 The works in the exhibition at present various kinds of obstacles to perception. The series was inspired by a screen in the gallery’s courtyard where a grocery store hides its empty container trolleys. Drawing on the legacy of minimalism, Päivikki’s art is strict in its focus. Through her reductive approach, she draws attention to things we easily overlook when we observe paintings: textures, reflections and shadows, the slow unfolding of colour perception.

This week’s highlights include two exhibitions and two events:

📅 This exhibition transforms cellar space into a nest, where time is allured to stay. Time is an entity too huge to be summoned, so it must be approached through metonymy – by calling one of its manifestations. For this, I have chosen one of its archetypal embodiments, the Day. The sonic, visual, textual, and mathematical installation with similarities and attributes specific to Day – its duration, proportions, and components – will welcome Day to feel at home and inhabit the cellar for a month.

📍In February will meet up with Jussi Hellsten! is a Helsinki-based photographer specializing in commercial brand imagery, still life, and documentary photography. The address is Rastilan kartano, Karavaanikatu 4, 00980 Helsinki. Bring a photobook from your shelf and we’ll discuss all the books that people have brought.

This week’s highlights include two exhibitions and two events:

📅 Jani Ruscica’s exhibition at is structured around two new bodies of work; a suite of videos titled Portrait of a Poet and a series of print works and window painting titled Autoritratti. ‘Lately, I have been particularly interested in portraiture as a form of dialogue. I suppose, as something inherently reciprocal and mirroring, that can potentially dissolve boundaries between self and other, but also, on the other hand, as a point of contact, where the very same boundaries can diverge, only to recede further apart.’

📅 is proud to inaugurate its new year on 22 January with a solo exhibition by Zhang Xu Zhan (Taiwan, 1988, lives in Taipei). At Kohta Zhang Xu shows Termite Feeding Show (2024), a work that combines stop-motion animation with performances by actors in insect-like costume. Zhang Xu has made a name for himself, in East Asia and internationally, with visually and conceptually compelling video installations informed by his understanding of cinematic storytelling as a sophisticated play with archetypal narrative and abstract thought.

📍Rantoja (Shores) at is a dance and sound performance that translates shades and narratives of inner speech into embodied states and movements, at times whispering and at times coursing wildly as a tidal wave. Rantoja is loosely based on Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves.

This week’s highlights include four exhibitions:

📅 Everlasting Soup at is co-curated, co-hosted, and co-cooked by Farbod Fakharzadeh and Katie Lenanton, with artist collaborators Alejandra Alarcón, Bebetton (Eeva Rönkä & Jani A Purhonen), Michaela Casková, and Gladys Camilo. Feasting and togetherness have long been important within the cultural field. For centuries, the core elements of the salon—hospitality, artworks, and (intellectual) discourse—have been remixed and enacted according to the needs of changing public spheres, and those who inhabit them.

📅 Miina Aho’s works in the exhibition at are snapshots of the movement of a mass of lines —fragments of its stretching and swelling essence. In these works, the line struggles free only to be caught again, captured as glimpses of the various stages of its meandering choreography.

📅 Birth of a Gr***de at responds to the multi species colonial violence by drawing connections between the raw materials and their applications in creating the by-products that are eternally constructing and destructing, building up while simultaneously breaking down. The film playing on a loop performs the alternating role of grieving, anticipating and raging. It exists within these contradictions only to be further exaggerated through the performance of many multiplicities within the work.

📅 Eeva-Riitta Eerola’s and Jenni Toikka’s exhibition at consists of the film work W Is for Waves and the paintings that appear in it. W Is for Waves examines the artistic process, polyphony – or collective mind – and the intertwining of different art forms by taking as a starting point sisters, author Virginia Woolf and painter Vanessa Bell.

This week’s highlights include four exhibitions:

📅 The exhibition at comprises of oil paintings on jute that are interpretations of images that I received through a phone correspondence in the fall of 2023. The photographs were sent to me from a tree nursery in the outskirts of Warsaw, where my penpal worked as a gardener. The nursery is a familiar place to me, but working with the location from afar has skewed my perception of its scale and reality.

📅 The infinite expanse of space and the mystery of human existence on our planet have intrigued artists throughout the ages. This exhibition at invites visitors to explore humanity’s relationship with the environment, other species, and technology. What is our role and future in the universe? The exhibition features works by 22 artists or artist groups, including paintings, photographs, collages, assemblages, prints, videos, installations, and a robot.

This week’s highlights include four exhibitions:

📅 In her exhibition at gallery, artist Taru Happonen explores a complex, ever-changing world from both a cosmic and microscopic perspective, blending sci-fi and real-world elements. Blending sci-fi and real-world elements, she combines the peeled skins of creatures with recurring motifs such as eye shapes, plant cells and circuitry. Organic and synthetic elements are inextricably intertwined in both the material presence and content of Happonen’s art.

📅 Takotsubo at was inspired by an article about broken heart syndrome. It described how, in 2004, Japanese doctors reported that individuals visiting clinics after an earthquake had symptoms similar to those experienced during a heart attack. The pain caused by takotsubo cardiomyopathy during and after a major emotional shock resembles a heart attack.

📅 In the wintertime exhibition at , 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. In their work, Niidome and Lautenbacher move freely in the field of design, art and handicrafts.

📅 At the heart of my work at is a longing for silence and questions about emptiness. I balance between silence and noise, searching for a space where nothing happens. I build a minimally expressive image surface layer by layer, loop by loop. Knitwear is used to being seen as a protection for the skin. It resembles paper and plays with the idea of ​​painting: what it is and what it could be.
