Marko Vuokola’s retrospective solo exhibition Sense and Sensibility at Aboa Vetus Ars Nova in Turku showcases the artist’s works from the last 30 years.
“Vuokola’s unassuming and thoughtful works create a space for sharpening of the senses. The works subtly lead you to contemplate – and thus to figure it out for yourself.
This minimalist exhibition of photographs, video art and sculptures focuses on temporality and repetition. Vuokola’s analytical and human approach offers the viewer insights large and small – without forgetting beauty.”
– Niina Tanskanen, Curator
Sense and Sensibility runs until 15 September 2024.

Karoliina Hellberg’s first solo exhibition in the UK, titled Labyrinth, opens at Elizabeth Xi Bauer gallery in London on Saturday 7 June. Hellbergs vibrant works in oil, acrylic and ink, immerse the viewer in a world of repeated imagery, signs, and symbols, a labyrinth of spaces and places, combining layers, forms, and elements. She blends dream-like visions and narratives that merge the everyday with the ethereal, painting the space between memories and fantasies.
“Spaces and moods in my paintings have been influenced by the environment in which I grew up and the kind of places I feel to be important…spaces in [my] paintings are collages of metaphysical and psychological elements, they do not just reflect just one place or experience’’, Hellberg says.
The exhibition runs until 3 August 2024.
