Finnish gallery Makasiini Contemporary will open a new gallery space in Helsinki.

Finnish gallery Makasiini Contemporary has announced it will open a new location in Helsinki this fall, after eight years in Turku. The 8,000-square-foot space, located in Helsinki's historic Train Factory in Pasila, will debut on September 19 with three simultaneous exhibitions: solo shows by Spanish painter Jorge Galindo and Canadian painter Cindy Phenix, plus a group exhibition featuring artists from the gallery's roster. Founded in 2016 by Frej Forsblom, the gallery also maintains its flagship in Turku's former governor's stables, built in 1832.
