"At Kunsthalle Kohta, questions are posed about the very nature of architecture. The works, built upon a wealth of preparatory research, are immediately accessible. Architecture can mean a hut built in the living room, examining the patterns of a mosaic floor, or marks on a wall."

Thank you for the recommendation in HS – Helsingin Sanomat!

Eglė Ridikaitė, 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘴 (𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴), 2024–25.

Eglė Ridikaitė (Lithuania, 1966) is a celebrated painter working with large canvases and a self-invented technique based on spray painting through stencils.

In the exhibition ‘The art of’ she is showing two series of paintings. Both are phantom images of what can no longer be seen on this particular site. 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪 (𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘱 𝘱𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘪𝘬𝘴𝘭ų), 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘴 (𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴) depict the paint-stained and masking-tape-riddled walls of her former studio.

The art of, with L’Esprit de l’Escalier, Henrietta Lehtonen, Hedy Leung and Eglė Ridikaitė, runs through 4 October.

The group exhibition ‘The art of’, with L’Esprit de l’Escalier, Henrietta Lehtonen, Hedy Leung and Eglė Ridikaitė, seeks to bring together visual art, architecture and design as an extended field.

‘The art of’ blends distinct practices such as painting, installation, graphic design, exhibition design or flower arrangement into a meditation on ancient cultural tropes that are still relevant and relatable: natural and enhanced memory, tradition and innovation, authorship and anonymity.

Curated by Anders Kreuger, Markus Lähteenmäki and Mika Savela

The exhibition runs through 4 October.
You can find us from the area in Helsinki, free entry.
