Oho Galleria

OHO Gallery is an organisation that aims to improve the visual experience in the city, by facilitating art in unusual places.
We curate exhibitions and help the artists showcase and sell their work whilst they enrich the underused spaces of Helsinki.
The idea was born out of love for art and Helsinki.

The curation of the exhibitions by Emmi Kattelus and Inkeri Kallio.

Marianne Huotari, Fanny Tavastila: Growth

21.1.–23.6.2021

Marianne Huotari’s and Fanny Tavastila’s first joint exhibition Growth examines growth from different perspectives. The OHO Gallery shows a unique dialogue between painting and ceramic art. The works of the artists are like from the same world where the interface between objects and paintings is dissipated – where the painting ends, the sculpture continues from there and vice versa. Nature, growth, momentaryness and sensitivity are present in the works of both Huotari and Tavastila, regardless of the materials and working methods.

Music intervention

Thu 10.6.2021 @ 15:00–15:30, Fri 11.6.2021 @ 15:00–15:30, Sat 12.6.2021 @ 16:00–16:30, Sun 13.6.2021 @ 16:00–16:30

During the music guiding we observe the affect of different soundscapes on the experience of art. How does music alter a piece – can something nice become scary or beautiful ugly? Can something still turn into fast-paced or something unknown into familiar? The tour is playful and experimental and invites discussion!

To participate you need a device and headphones for listening to the music. A link to the playlist can be found in the end of this text.

Step into the garden! – guided tour and an art workshop for children

Thu 10.6.2021 @ 09:30–10:00

Step into the garden! is a guided tour and an art workshop for under 7-year-olds with a parent. We will get inspiration from Marianne Huotari’s floral ceramics and Fanny Tavastila’s verdant paintings and the children get to paint their own flowery garden. The art workshop will happen on the floor with the help of each parent. The event will be held twice, in Finnish and Swedish.

Due to pandemic, the registration is open for one parent and one child per family. In the workshop we will use nontoxic and water-soluble readymix paints. The painting may cause some mess, so we recommend wearing suitable clothing and an apron. There is a toilet in the gallery. There are two elevators and the prams can be left downstairs in the hall or inside on the 4th floor. Welcome!

The tour is organised by Eidos ry, the association of art history students at the University of Helsinki.
