Run and curated with love by Finnish photo agency Viewmasters, Laboratory offers exhibitions, experiences and events during the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 year. Nothing permanent – just like the moments of sheer brilliance good photography captures. With a little help from our friend Nokia. EXHIBITIONS:
February 10 – April 8: Martin Parr (UK) – Think of Finland
Martin Parr's "Think of Fi
nland" presents new body of work from the world-renowned Magnum photographer. In August 2011 Parr documented Finnish people and their way of life between Helsinki and the northern city of Oulu. The resulting photographs show us Finns without embellishment but with empathy and warmth. The exhibition is brought to Helsinki together with Nokia. April 13 – May 20: Perttu Saksa (FI) – Echo
Perttu Saksa, one of Finland’s most noted young photographers, takes us into questions related to nonhuman, on thinking ourselves through animal Other and to question our histories with the animal. EVENTS:
Laboratory welcomes all kind of corporate events such as product launches, internal or external happenings, kick-offs, seminars, dinners, talks, etc. Private events are also definitely welcome. More: http://www.laboratory.fi/2012/01/events/
