Margo Guttmann Hybrid-Human
28th March 2026 – 18th April 2026
Visits and guided tours are possible every Saturday between 12 and 6 pm.
ombative figures populate Margo Guttmann’s large-format oil paintings—half human, half machine, wounded yet undaunted. Her figures wear bandages like armor, stride through surreal landscapes, and defy everything that stands in their way. They are hybrid beings, of indeterminate gender and age—canvases onto which viewers can project their own interpretations.
HYBRID HUMAN s the first comprehensive presentation of decades of artistic work that Margo Guttmann is now sharing with the public for the first time.
0,0,0 – Portfolio Presentation
13th February 2026 – 14th March 2026
Visits and guided tours are possible every Saturday between 12 and 6 pm.
Exactly 110 years ago, in the winter of 1915, Kazimir Malevich presented his Black Square in Petrograd, marking the most radical rupture in art history. By hanging it in the upper corner of the room—the traditional place of the sacred icon—he declared it the “zero point of form.” It signaled the end of representation and the beginning of pure feeling.Today, “black” has received a new definition. On our screens, black is no longer a pigment but a code: RGB 0,0,0. It is the state of absolute absence of light, the switched-off pixel. The project 0,0,0 asks a crucial question: What does Concrete Art mean in the age of the algorithm? It is a dialogue between Malevich’s spiritual void and the technological void of code.
BODY POLITICS Miettinen Collection at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art Vaasa
24 January 2026 – 04 April 2026
Visits and guided tours are possible every Saturday between 12 and 6 pm.
Donkey is a collection presentation shaped by attentiveness to bodies, forms, and quiet encounters. The works move between photography, painting, and sculpture — between intimacy and distance, observation and structure. They resist spectacle, focusing instead on presence, texture, and restraint.

MARKUS JÄNTTI Once upon a time
16 January 2026 – 18 April 2026
Visits and guided tours are possible every Saturday between 12 and 6 pm.
The nature of time, of completion, and of commodification – which seeks to reduce the former, and strives towards the latter in order to more expeditiously arrive at one’s payday – are concerns common to both artistic production, and the horsey society depicted in Markus Jäntti’s works.
ARTHUR PALHANO THE LIGHT AND THE EYE
16 January 2026 – 07 February 2026
Visits and guided tours are possible every Saturday between 12 and 6 pm.
The study of light unfolds into two fundamental domains: geometric optics, which describes the path of rays, and physical optics, which investigates their nature and material properties. Perception is only possible because light is bound to matter. Seeing thus emerges as a mediated process: from the origin of the light source, through its reflection on surfaces, to its reception by the eye, it is within this network of relations that what we call the visible takes shape.
Within the tradition of painting, the invention of perspective became intertwined with the representation of light and shadow, which shaped the volume of things on the picture plane. The sun itself largely remained a symbolic abstraction, its rays suggested through simplified graphic means. Only with Impressionism did the perception of light become a central concern of painting. Monet, for instance, condensed fleeting luminous phenomena into short, vibrating brushstrokes that fixed the moment of seeing within the image.
