How do you find a work of art that feels right for your home? Or where do you start if you are interested in collecting photography?

Taidehaistelija, Tapio Viitasaari, brings artworks and people looking to buy art together. He helps people find works that match their wishes and specific requirements, and runs an Instagram account where he interviews artists, introduces their work, and shares tips on discovering art and design.

As part of Gallery Week, Taidehaistelija’s afterwork will take place at Hippolyte on Thursday 24 September from 4 to 6 pm. We will begin with Taidehaistelija sharing his experiences of collecting photographic art and building a collection.

During the event, you can chat with Taidehaistelija about buying art, ask questions or tell him what kind of work you are looking for. You can also see the Taidehaistelija’s form either in advance here (in Finnish) or fill it in at the event. Based on your answers, you will receive 1–3 suggestions for photographic artworks. Taidehaistelija’s passion is to bring the right artwork and the person looking for it together.

The event is free of charge, and there is no obligation to purchase a work.

Drinks will be served!

The new exhibitions by Elina Vainio and Eero Yrjölä and Aleksi Kolmonen will also be on view at Hippolyte during the event.

You are warmly welcome!
