Pitted Dates

Pitted Dates is an exhibition platform founded by curator and university teacher Sakari Tervo in 2023. Originally based in a vacant shopping mall kitchen, Pitted Dates now operates from a former two-room cold storage space in Helsinki, Finland.

Its program brings together emerging and established artists in thoughtful, carefully curated group exhibitions. Each show is accompanied by a poem, which serves both as a press release and as an artwork in its own right, placing each exhibition within a poetic framework.
