Cantrip
Tuukka Kaila & Timo Vaittinen
27. – 29. September 2024

In the spirit of an open-plan office, 𝙲𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚙 combines modified found materials, painting, text and durational gestures to create temporary works for a post-industrial space.

Tuukka Kaila (b. 1975) operates in the expanded fields of photography, text and publishing. His practice revolves around the production and circulation of knowledge, often materialising as images, spatial arrangements and publications.

Timo Vaittinen (b. 1976) works with different materials and mediums including painting, sculpture, sound, fabric, video, artists’ books and publishing. Experimentation, material possibilities, and balancing between the poetic and conceptual are at the core of his practice.

Together the Helsinki-based artists run the publishing initiative Rooftop Press founded in 2016.
𝙲𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚙 is their first time showing together in exhibition form.
