Sculptor’s exhibition programme for 2026 has been published! A total of 17 exhibitions by 20 artists showcase a wide range of working methods in the field of contemporary sculpture. Alongside regularly scheduled exhibitions, the fall programme features a DUO-show, pairing together two artists from different career stages. Maintained by the Finnish Sculptors’ Association and located in Eteläranta, Helsinki, Galleria Sculptor is the only contemporary art gallery in Finland with a specific focus in sculpture. Read more on the Spring season’s exhibitions and see the years exhibition calendar below!

The first exhibition of the year, Nastja Säde Rönkkö & Miroslava Večeřová’s new collaborative body of work dreams about the future and explores presence through the politics and poetics of emotion and corporality. In the context of liquid bodies and water, the exhibition delves into seasonal rhythms, ecological patterns, and folklore.

The spring season continues with three consecutive Gallery/Studio splits. In February, Matti Kalkamo’s materially multifaceted works will be displayed alongside Hermanni Saarinen’s modular pine sculptures that draw from harmonic and rhythmical motifs from the fields of music, architecture and sculpture alike.

Berit Talpsepp-Jaanisoo’s March exhibition at Galleria Sculptor looks at the relationships between images, narratives and objects, taking found and autobiographical material as a starting point. Combining photography, sculpture and printmaking techniques, she sees her new works as material reflections of experience and memory, moving between the spheres of pictorial and spatial, personal and universal. Talpsepp-Jaanisoo’s exhibition will be adjoined by Maija Närhinen. In Närhinen’s works, industrially produced objects and natural materials collected from forest paths are mixed, juxtaposed, and rearranged based on visual cues.

As spring progresses, Galleria Sculptor will welcome Antti Immonen’s season-appropriate sculptures, which deal with the shedding of skin – the moment when the old and stiffened breaks down and something new, vibrant, and surprising emerges from within. In Immonen’s works, biological skin formation and hatching are likened to moments of crisis and growth in life. Meanwhile, a Studio exhibition by Mari Oikarinen focuses on time, environmental grief, and the artistic process. Oikarinen’s body of work grows out of the absence of bushes and undergrowth, everything that disappears as a result of cleaning, clearing, and building up the environment. 

April and May presents Kate Ruck & Petra Vehviläinen. In Hevoset karkaa | The horses are fleeting Ruck gathers nostalgia at a distance, uncovering how even the smallest turn of phrasing can summon the myths that shape our affections and unsettle our certainties across geography. Vehviläinen creates a body of work for Sculptor’s Gallery that examines ornament and cultural heritage through architectural sculptures shaped from scrap metal.

The season is wrapped up by Antti Turkko with an exhibition under the working title of Systeeminen muutos (en. Systemic Change), which consists of objects, videos and structures that both divide space and create it.

The fall season stars: Denise Ziegler & Joni Kärkkäinen, Anssi Pulkkinen, Komugi Ando, Inka Nieminen, Ilkka Virtanen, Anais-Karenin, Mika Helin and Simo Ripatti.
