Exhibitions
25.9.–8.11.2026
Ryteikkö – Tuuli Autio, Heikki Pasanen, Amado Peña, Victoria Torboli
Curated by artist Rauha Hartt the exhibition titled Ryteikkö brings together three generations of artists who in their works in the exhibition explore the notion of the theme. Ryteikkö means a thicket, copse or a tangly bit of the woods where accessibility is little or none. Thoroughly familiar for anyone whoˈs ever walked in an even semi wild Finnish woods. Ryteikkö can be seen as a physical place but also something like a mental block.
