Sébastien Lefèvre's Soleil nuit Albireo is one of the artworks that will stay here as permanent public artworks after Lux Helsinki, which is great!

Installing a permanent artwork is way more complicated than installing a festival one, and that's why it takes time. Soleil is the third artpiece to stay here, but even the first one isn't installed yet. Let's hope the schedule of having all of them installed this spring will hold!

Seth and Irene From Kaleider had their so far largest installation of Twist and Shine in Lux Helsinki. And oh boy, does the large volume work great with this piece! It was such a contagious joy to see kids and adults alike play with the glowing particles!

Lux Helsinki has cooperated with The Finnish Light Art Society FLASH in creating small exhibitions of light art in Kannelmäki Cultural house for some years. This year, there was this wonderful piece by Kirsti Taiviola, a glass bird flying crudely animated, and 3D shadows by Risto Puurunen. The shadows don't really work in photos, that's something you definitely need to see in person.

Melek Mazici's Rooms of Light was so very stylish and composed artwork, quite different from what I expected. It indeed was painting with light, instead of just coloring. Perks of my profession; I also got to see the artwork up close, with a funny hat and all!

I went to Lux Helsinki and it looked a little something like this.

In Yö Galleria there are three artists displayed in a lovely exhibition, and this one is Severi Haapala and his work Draw a/the line. The artwork is wonderfully simple: a line that is in slow, constant move – just like the timeline of history, which is not a straight line but ever changing, based on the point of view and new research.

I'm really happy about the Gallery program of Lux Helsinki, curated by Jyrki Sinisalo. Mr. Sinisalo also has an exhibition of his own in the program, at Tila Gallery. The artworks are mostly created with found and recycled materials, of which a lot has been found at flea markets. Not that I'd be jealous or anything, but some of those flea markets are in Italy.
