    E-Z: / Ringa / Manner (LIVE) / & Satoi (LIVE)

    E-Z: an antidote to the pulse.

    Ringa Manner aims is to construct sound pockets into which one can settle and exist in. Some might have heard her perform with a similar setup last year at Retriitti: a zither (www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zither), effect units, a microphone and a looper, all improvised.

    Satoi guides us through the periphery and into the core with cinematic soundscapes, synth tones and field recordings from the natural world, using a modular synthesizer and an MPC Live.

    DJ Wey (US) / & Irene Kostas & / Caballo

    Lovely, a bit sad, but life-affirming. That’s how one could describe most of DJ Wey’s music. The Queens local uses a multitude of other monikers, the most known being DJ Python, under which he produces narcotic reggaeton with hints to Warp’s golden era and Boards of Canada. There’s not a sharp disctinction between his different alter egos though and surely we can expect him to “mash up di place” with different layers of his sound palette 🎨

    Easing us into the night is meditative dance music specialist Irene Kostas, followed by the house-don from Argentina, Caballo.

    Roots United 10 Years: / Mesak (LIVE) (FI) & / Eostra (RU) / & Shutta (RU)

    Russia’s techno scene is booming in its bigger cities. Hundreds, even thousands of people dance in packed out parties every weekend in Saint Petersburg and Moscow, and new places are opening up against the sometimes tricky climate.

    For the past 10 years, the Roots United collective have been on the forefront of Saint Petersburg’s dance scene, honing in local talent and inviting reputable international acts to play at their parties and at one of Russia’s best dance music celebrations, Present Perfect Festival.

    Saturday’s guests are a key part of the Roots United roster: Finnish born Mesak has been making electronic music for longer than the lease on your dad’s car, while Eostra and Shutta have been integral in shaping up the scene across the border.

    DJ Fett Burger (NO) / & Olli Koponen

    DJ Fett Burger is a mystical creature. From his “career” spanning multiple years, there are only two interviews found on the web, one in which he mostly talks about Daft Punk. The majority of clues and conclusions about Fett B (if such are relevant) can be found and made only through his music, mixes and maybe his drawings, some of which end up as artworks for record sleeves. Let the music speak for itself?

    Olli Koponen, who had an appearance on Fett Burger’s Trushmix series earlier this year will be warming up for the Norwegian champ.

    River Yarra (AU) / & Joshi & / Emkay

    So what do we know about River Yarra? Well, he’s a young gentleman from the Nillumbik Shire of Victoria (Australia, mate) and evidently quite the percussionist which shows in the nice drum programming of his tracks (most notably on Antinote). If forced to describe his music, one might use the identifiers neo goa trance, prog frog and ambient housedelia.

    He is mates with Joshi and Maria Korkeila (Emkay), who also did this months poster design, which is a neat thing we think. So it’s cool to have them both warm up for River. Ripper aye!

    Agamwe (LIVE) & / X I N L O I (LIVE) & / Linda Lazarov

    Agamwe’s music is probably as close as you’ll get when you imagine Burial making tribal techno. Intricate polyrhythmic percussions interwoven with emotional, shaman-like vocal expressions sung by the artist himself. A truly distinctive take on dance music.

    X I N L O I’s sound is ever evolving but certain things seem to remain a constant: genuine, well-thought-out yet playful qualities characterise his music wherever he goes. Dance music rarely sounds this special.

    Linda Lazarov will be opening and closing the night in a manner only she can pull off.

    Suski & / Emma Valtonen

    Suski navigates through dubby waters and ethereal, often minimalistic soundscapes, be it in the form of house or techno. Her DJ journey began from DIY underground parties in Helsinki around 2012, having previously been introduced to dance music during various stints in Berlin between 2006 and 2010.

    Emma Valtonen has been dabling with music since her pre-teens, geeking out on genres, playing guitar and bass in bands. But it was while in Uni when she got involved with house and techno through a student organisation called Entropy.

    If you've been out in Helsinki in the past years, there's a high chance you've danced to these two playing, either solo or back-to-back. And there's a high chance you've left smiling after the night.

    Ender / All Night / Long

    Finnish legend Ender was one of the first djs to play house and techno when these strands of dance music made their way to Helsinki in the late 80s. That’s to say he’s been operating the decks for over 30 years. As a (former?) member of the (now defunct?) legendary outfit Hannulelauri, together with Lauri Soini, and nu-jazz ensemble Nuspirit Helsinki, he now mostly focuses on writing music for motion picture and producing for other artists, among other activities like helping out young musicians develope their skills.

    Since Ender doesn’t play as frequently as he used to, this is a rare chance to hear a true national treasure open up his record bag for an entire night. What will come out of there? Only one way to find out.

    As long time staples of Helsinki nightlife — Irene Kostas and Fummer have been playing quality dance music for the people for some 20 years, warming up for international guests at Kaiku, Ääniwalli and other venues in addition to their own regular nights at Siltanen.

    Irene is highly influenced by music outside the traditional western realm, such as contemporary dance sonics from the eastern cost of the Mediterranean and areas surrounding the Black Sea. Primitivo hypnotico is the name of the game. Hometown homerunner Fummer meshes together the best from acid transmission, techno utopias and electro emissions, with a record bag so deep you’re sure to sink in (and you will like it). Together these two are sure to whip up a unique collage of dance musics for a fun Friday night.

    Yakovets (LIVE) (RU) / & Marc Fred & / Handshaking

    This Friday we welcome the Vladivostok-born, Moscow-based musical connoisseur Yakovets to celebrate the release of his debut EP. Having deejayed in Helsinki a bunch of times already, he could almost be considered a local (almost). Yakovets himself works on strengthening the musical and cultural bond between Russia and Finland, working with St. Petersburg venue Tancploshadka to bring in DJs from Finland. Yakovets’ ties with Helsinki have resulted in his debut release on Elossa Records, which is run by one of our city’s hardest working DJs, Marc Fred.

    This will be Yakovets’ first live performance outside of his native country (woop), with Marc Fred and local eccentric Handshaking accompanying him for the night. Expect everything from syntheziser disco to classicly tinged house music to obscure funk and beyond.

    A very special night ahead on Saturday as doors open already at 21, and at 22, Helsinki-based band Mortar Devotions play their debut live show. Consisting of Aleksei Tsernjavski, Manuele Frau & Nicholas Pucciarelli, the group’s cinematic and heady take on music is brilliant in its simplicity and entracing to say the least. Make sure you come early for this one.

    On at 00 is one of our generations most respectable figures in (electronic) (dance) music, Nosedrip. With STROOM, the label he runs together with close friends, he’s helped shine a light on a lost piece of European DIY music history. The label's releases vary from latvian synth wave to after hour belgium techno, all tied together by an undying love for the sport. Whatever he's working with, you will most likely a) be able to put your worries on the back burner b) find new favorites.

    Joshi gets us comfortable before and after the live set with goodies from a recent trip to Japan, while hometown homerunner Linda Lazarov closes the night.

With an engagement in dance music spanning over two decades, he’s been a clubber, DJ, promoter, club owner and sound engineer, gaining more insight into the inner works than most people do in their lifetimes. In the fall of last year he launched S.O.S (Support Organize Sustain), an independent iniative to promote community and artistry in the ever-commercializing industry that is dance music.

    With a lazer sharp focus on why he does what he does, it’s hard to think of anyone in his position with a more dedicated attitude. We’re honored to have him play an extended set this Friday at Post Bar. Our city's own Emma Valtonen does the warmup. Doesn't get much better than this for techno-lovers.

    A few notes about Jimi Tenor. His earliest releases came out on seminal labels Sähkö and Warp, with 18 albums to his name in total. Jimi has worked with Tony Allen, Nicole Willis, and countless other talented musicians. He makes his own intsruments and teaches other people how to do the same. He has also worked on films and is one of the founders of Kontula Electronic festival. All in all, he's a national gem, and we're quite excited about his live performance at Post Bar on Friday (actually really thrilled tbh).

    Niko Hallikainen https://soundcloud.com/hallikainen

    A Room With A View is an audiovisual compilation supported by Together Alone, an initiative launched by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes, offering support for art projects documenting the state of emergency caused by Covid-19. The compilation features tracks by Maria Korkeila, alias emkay, and collaborators: Sansibar, River Yarra’s Synthetic Band, Niko Hallikainen and Movies Are Real.

    The confines of one’s own abode have become painstakingly familiar to most of us in the passing few months. Solitude, solitariness and confinement have marked the spring of 2020 as life has been halted by the covid-19 pandemic. In A Room with a View Maria Korkeila and her cohorts have approached the task of giving form to these sentiments through the one channel which has been absent from life lately; the so-called nightlife. If we consider nightlife as an entity, certain patterns often emerge as giving structure and shape to it – it often has an end a beginning which act as place holders for what can be characterized as a ”peak-time”. The difference with the confinement era has been that you never know when it’s peak-time.

    To approach A Room with a View one can turn to the thought of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy whose writings on community and communication offer reflections on this task of being together apart and articulating this aloneness qua togetherness. The absence of the physical presence of the other is not a negation leading us to an emptiness – it is only an exposition, an opening, a vista if you will. Hence, A Room with a View can be seen as a glance towards a future in a time marked with stillness. For in times of uncertainty, dancing and poetry are essential tools to communicate, whether together or separate, a view persists in the motion of body and thought. “

    emkay / & Sansibar

    To celebrate the release of emkay's first EP on Post Sonics. There will be a limited amount of vinyl records available for purchase from the bar.

    "Post Bar is a club. Post Sonics is a label. After months of scouring the corners of our homes, we had to do something to keep ourselves from the brink. With the dance floor on pause, it has been difficult at times to remember the joy. However, across these four tracks emkay with a little help from Sansibar remind us why we like to get jiggy with it.

    A side kicks off with an electro-tinged phone call from your Mom (which you will want to answer), while the second track delves straight into freaky Goa Pop.

    On the flip side emkay welcomes us to a party at her house made of candy and a rush of lovely childhood memories come flooding back. As we hit the wee hours Sansibar takes over the hosting duties, slipping a little magic into our drinks, and we have forgotten why we were sad in the first place. Now we’re fucking doing it."

    Kiasma ARS22: / Agamwe (LIVE) / & Joshi & / emkay / & Laura MRLS


    Celebrate the opening of ARS22 and Kiasma's grand re-opening at Post Bar!
    Kiasma and Post Bar are throwing a club night together on Thursday 7.4. with a top notch lineup of dance music aficionados.
     
    Entrance: Free (sec.fee 3,5€)

    MUSIC:
     
    AGAMWE (LIVE)
    If you have ever wondered what Burial would sound like on a tribal techno trip while 90s garage pop was playing on the background, Agamwe’s music is probably as close an example you’ll find in the physical (& mental) world.
     
    JOSHI
    Joshi's merits reach far and wide: He's one of the founders of Paris multidisclipinary platform The Community and has worked as a graphic and senior designer for a multitude of companies, Marimekko being the current. But most importantly for this: he's a deejay with darn good taste.

    EMKAY
    Producer, DJ, singer and designer. Maria Korkeila aka emkay is a wizard in her fields, whether it’s stiching together sounds or fabric. Her usually up-beat and fun-loving releases on labels such as Post Sonics, Super Utu and Radiant Love have caught the attention of international ears over the past few years.


    LAURA MRLS
    Laura MRLS is the co-founder of event and podcast series Synae and a resident at techno multi-platform Monument. As a proponent of darker sounds, Laura finds comfort through layered sonic fabrics, adding into what is in the best of cases a mystic sensory experience.

    About ARS22:
    ARS22 brings cutting-edge artistic practices to Kiasma, creating a space dedicated to shared experiences and community.
    Extending to all floors of the museum´s building, the exhibition is a comprehensive view of the latest experimentations in international contemporary art. It also includes new artworks commissioned specifically for ARS22.
     
    The exhibition opens on Friday 8.4.

    Emma DJ https://soundcloud.com/emmadeejayy

    Emma DJ is an interesting one. On one hand his critically acclaimed "club" rap album ‘Godrime’ got him performing live at art museums in Paris. On the other hand he used to throw the sickest raves on the outskirts of the very same city, in addition to releasing some beautifully out-there music on L.I.E.S. But the guy's originally from Finlandia. So what the heck?

    It's sometimes hard to tell what's going on. But it's easy to tell that what's going on is good. Enter the mind of Emma DJ.

    VC-118A (NL) (LIVE) / & Kaspiann & / Steve Duncan

    Machine funk on a dubby, atmospheric and driven tip. VC-118A has been on the background of the forefront (if that makes sense) of intricately woven dance music for the past ten years, with releases on Delsin, Frustrated Funk, Tabernacle and Radio Matrix to name a few. The Dutchman carves out sonic pockets that are difficult to mimic, taking you in and squeezing you softly. Sonic pleasure bumps. Don’t take it lightly when we say that his live performance is something you don’t want to miss out on.

    Local lords Kaspiann and Steve Duncan take good care of the deejaying aspects of the night, Kaspiann warming up for the live set, Duncan seeing the night off into bliss.

KADRI-ANN KIVISILD

Kadri-Ann Kivisild (born in 2000) is an Estonian artist based in Amsterdam. Her practice focuses on art direction, photography and music, drawing inspiration from romance, drama, and peripheral angst. Building upon her experiences as an Estonian working in Western Europe, Kivisild works with issues related to Western rhetoric and misconceptions about the Soviet Union, modern Russia, and the history of Communism.

Kadri-Ann explains the work done for Post Bar: “The work is part of a series called ‘Altars’, that I have been creating over the years. This one is titled ‘Alttari’, dedicated to the unforgettable 4 years of my life when I used to live in Helsinki.”

Artist of the month

AJ Fusco

AJ Fusco is an American artist based in Helsinki. His work combines painting and drawing with digital processes and a conceptual approach. Informed by the human tendency to seek patterns, meaning, or forms, even in the absence of a concrete object, his work is characterized by visual indeterminacy— images that suggest recognizable subject matter but elude clear identification. By eschewing specific motifs while retaining pictorial elements associated with representational art, his work seeks to embody the in-between, the queer, and the unclassifiable.

Fusco describes the work done for Post Bar: “I wanted to celebrate the start of the Halloween season, and I chose this graphite drawing from my archive because it variously evokes writhing, ragged flesh, spiraling flames, and the bones of bare trees against the sky.”

Artist of the month

Jack Sachs

Jack Sachs is a visual artist / animator from london, living in Berlin.

Jack describes the work done for Post Bar: “The inspiration for this poster comes from a summer spent laying face down in the grass, getting up-close and personal with the small plants and bugs.”

Artist of the month

Matilda Diletta

Matilda Diletta (b. 1994), a Finnish-Italian creative from Helsinki, specializes in design and illustration, with experience in both commercial and artistic fields. Diletta’s artistic style, influenced by horror movies and manga obsessions from her teenage years, merges with her family’s artistic heritage, resulting in a sleek, minimalist body of work imbued with nostalgia and a grunge aesthetic.
Diletta describes her work done for Post Bar: “The poster design is an abstract take on all the things summer ’23: Barbenheimer, wildfires, heat, and sun-bleached surfaces.”

Artist of the month

Otso Reitala

Otso Reitala is a Helsinki-based multimedia artist, and a designer, whose work delves deep into the realms of digitality, exploring the intersections between digital worlds and our tangible reality.
Common themes for his works are immersion and interaction, as well as exploring the gap between the computer generated imagery and something we might perceive as organic.

Alongside installations and video art, he works a lot with electronic music in Helsinki, and internationally. He brings his artistic vision to life through album art, branding, and live visuals or sound design.

Reitala describes the work done for Post Bar: “The concept of the poster was to imagine something completely different from electronic music and clubs in general. So I illustrated a mundane archiving of surreal everyday objects, with all the elements laid out with their info labeled out next to them. I am deeply fascinated by the idea of having an intangible “fake” 3D object be portrayed as something real, and then printing it out as a poster, making the “fake objects” part of a “real object”.

Artist of the month

Viivi Prokofjev

Viivi Prokofjev is a graphic designer, art director and illustrator based in Helsinki & Hanko. While working – if card board has run out and the glue is missing – she creates subtle digital movements. She messes things up.

Viivi describes the work done for Post Bar:  “The Post Bar birthday poster gives everybody a five leaf clover of eternal happiness. And some rhubarb.”

Artist of the month

Iisa Pappi

Iisa Pappi is a Helsinki-based designer whose work shifts between illustration, graphic design and visual art. Her work is a constant dialogue between analogue and digital techniques, always looking for the sweet spot between harmony and imperfections. Pappi’s trademarks are vibrant colourways, organic shapes and balancing between the abstract and representational. Pappi mainly works as a designer and art director in the cultural field.

Pappi describes the work done for Post Bar: ”My initial inspiration came from vintage concert flyers. I wanted to do something fun and instantly recognizable with a good rhythm to it. In my books this work is rather minimalistic which I quite enjoyed. I love the Post Bar poster design in itself so I wanted to work with it, not against it. This illustration is simply celebrating a carefree time getting sweaty and silly on the dancefloor.”

Artist of the month

Shanti Celeste

Shanti Celeste is a Chilean-born, London-based DJ and producer who is making waves in the electronic music scene. Shanti has made her mark in various creative fields which is reflected on the platforms she shares her craft through. From her regular NTS radio shows to promoting her own vibrant club shows Peach Party inviting her friends to join her on the decks such as Moxie, Call Super, and Amaliah. Of late, her lockdown born illustration project Queen Tangerine has seen Shanti’s artworks brought to life with the exclusive Queen Tangerine x Magic Castles capsule clothing collection. Through her various creative endeavors, Shanti Celeste has proven to be a multitalented artist with a boundless passion for creativity and self-expression.

Shanti explains the work done for Post Bar: “I decided to create this piece as recently I’ve been enjoying playing around with different ways in creating sunset illustrations and incorporating these tones and colours. These hues bring me back to summer evenings and brighter days and so I wanted to reflect that in this drawing as we are entering Spring.

I usually draw using RBK colour ways but enjoyed changing it up and using the tones and colour ways of CMYK to create the sunset piece.”

Kristoffer Ala-Ketola

Kristoffer Ala-Ketola anchors his art practice in the dark milieu of uncertain forms of existence. His interest in the formation of identity merges with the genre of portraiture and gives way to a slew of new and unknown characters. Ala-Ketola marks these personas with camp, queerness, and absurdist humor, and the grotesque, fixating on the boundary between the fantastical and human. Kristoffer Ala-Ketola is a multidisciplinary artist from Oulu, Finland who graduated from Yale School of Art with a Master of Fine Arts in 2019. His works have been exhibited in 4th Ward Project Space in Chicago, Shin Gallery in New York, and Kunsthalle Helsinki, and he has also participated in video screenings at the Helsinki International Film Festival and Video Art Festival Turku. Ala-Ketola’s work engages in various psychological phenomena, structures of identity, and queer theory with recurring themes of longing, coping, and dreaming.

Ala-Ketola describes the work done for Post Bar:

“I chose the image from my personal archive and re-edited it to suit the new context. The photo was originally part of my installation TBH, which I think captures something special at the core of my practice. I often use my own archival material when producing new work, and I love to switch the context of an image in order to play with the emotional and affective values it has, or potentially will have.

The image is a self-portrait dealing with bodily exhaustion in reference to the hormonal changes the body endures during heartbreak. When I got this commission I was looking at hundreds of images and felt like this could be the one that changes the most when taken out from its original context and transformed into a club poster. The heartbreak suddenly gives way to a different kind of bodily exhaustion–the aftermath of dancing really hard. Metaphorically speaking, I feel like I remixed the image from a melancholic beat into a joyous one.”

Marina Veziko

Marina Veziko (b. 1988, Kyiv) is a Helsinki-based graphic designer specializing in branding and art direction. Veziko’s practice moves between cultural and commercial fields, ranging from visual identities, images and packaging to publications and digital applications. Her work leans on nuanced typography and arresting imagery, and fluidly alternates between sleek minimalism and radiant maximalism.

Marina Veziko describes her work done for Post Bar:

“Branding projects typically stretch over months, sometimes years, and tend have quite a lot of preconditions. So working on this poster commission felt like a breath of fresh air! Quick, instinctive, spontaneous – no overthinking or endless iteration rounds. Just stream of thought – February, end of winter, beginning of spring, melting ice, grass peeping underneath, joyful anticipation of springtime.

Laura Karolina

Laura Karolina (b 1987) is a self taught visual artist living and working in East Helsinki. She earned her Master’s degree in the University of Helsinki majoring in Art research and Aesthetics. As a way of procrastinating graduating, she rediscovered her love for drawing and painting.

Currently she is heavily inspired by a Japanese 1970s underground movement named  “Heta-Uma”, which could be translated as “bad-but-good”. Furthermore she enjoys everything weird, absurd and surreal + she also likes yoghurt. She feels that the most underrated way to make actual change is happening on many subtle levels within the flow of everyday life.

“For me art isn’t all that serious, but rather a way to retreat from everyday demands.. I believe in kindness and maybe my intention is to further contribute to a friendlier and sillier atmosphere through bright colors, simple shapes and a humanistic vibe.” :o)

Laura Karolina describes her work done for Post Bar:

2022 was quite a rough one, and thus I wanted to create something representing some shy optimism for the upcoming year: A friendly genie in the bottle granting the viewer three wishes.

Maybe today it’s some coffee and cake.

Artist of the month

Emma Sarpaniemi

Emma Sarpaniemi is an artist and photographer based in Helsinki. In her practice, Sarpaniemi investigates definitions of femininity through performative and collaborative self-portraits. She creates a playful and tender representation of a woman using herself as the character to behave, look and perform on her terms and rules. The world Sarpaniemi builds is blurred between her identity, reality, and fantasy.

Emma describes the work done for Post Bar: “Self-portrait as a Gym Star” is part of my series “Two Ways to Carry a Cauliflower”, which is a performative photography series exploring women’s self-portraiture. The photograph was created together with my dear friend and artist Iiris Riihimäki, who painted the star pants for me. I found the weights from the house we were shooting in Amsterdam and the Gym Star was born. 

Artist of the month

Onni Alanko

Onni Alanko is a visual artist living and working in Helsinki. He works with painting and drawing. Alanko uses daily perceptions of the cityscape and its architectural forms and structures as tools for paintings. His recent body of work deals with spatial events.
These works give hints, suggests, but do not reveal everything. The viewer must create his own vision of the place.

Onni describes the work done for Post Bar: “The work is a traditional oil painting, that portrays the formation, dissolution and transformation of an unknown space or a place. It is still looking for its shape and form. The space hums with emptiness. The absence of figures leaves room for the viewer to place himself in the space. The painting still has a human touch and presence. The author can be seen in the gestures, mistakes, and clumsiness.”

Artist of the month

Aleksi Tammi

London-based designer Aleksi Tammi’s work is focused on typographic experiments. Today, he primarily works in music, film and other culture-related projects. “I study how far and extreme a text, a word, or a single character can be pushed before it loses its function – the lyrical purpose – and becomes just a meaningless shape or a pattern of noise.”

Aleksi describes the work done for Post Bar: “This piece is made by retouching a 3D model of an imaginary greyhound and processed through different encoders into a 171,0000 character text banner. A synthetic reconstruction of a non-existent animal made with no real touch of a human hand.”

Artist of the month

Joona Järvinen

Joona Järvinen (he/him, 1991) is an industrial designer with a background in graphic design. He grew up in eastern Finland in the middle of agricultural machines and soundscapes influencing his art and musical preferences today. He hopes that in the future there will be fewer cars and more play.

Joona describes the work done for Post Bar: ”The digital bricolage celebrates culture by combining elements from rural and urban subcultures. Global phenomenons are depicted in small stickers, while individual tags speak out to a wider audience. Symbols of community and self-expression revolve around the wheel that acts as a metaphor for humanity.”

Artist of the month

Anastasiia Sviridenko

Anastasiia Sviridenko (1996) is a visual artist from Ukraine, currently based in an emergency Art Residence in Finland. Anastasiia works with everyday materials and objects which we commonly perceive through their functional properties. In her art she transformers these objects in order to make our ethical and ecological sensibility more receptive to the pulsations of materiality.

Anastasiia describes the work done for Post Bar: “This duality: the sun shines brightly and high, the hot air exposes human bodies, and we still bring pain and loss to each other. Summer is like a dream, I hope that we wake up from it more human and forgiving. Music is that universal language not only in dreams, but in reality, that can unite, purify and save us all.”

Antoine Paikert AKA Esquive Studio

An exposure to the arts at his roots in the French Mediterranean and enriched through travels, living in Germany, then China before settling down in Finland, has gifted him with a unique vision and take on design.

Antoine describes the work done for Post Bar: “I was inspired by this ecstatic feeling of the never-setting sun, like time froze at twilight, and the bliss of the continuous music and chatter. Summer in Finland, specifically in Helsinki, is a very unique and dreamy experience.”

Gina Guasch also co-founded MARICAS, a queer collective, with their partners Eloisa and ISAbella.

Gina describes the work done for Post Bar: “The flyer has a asthetic really characteristic of GGT influenced by naif culture, the underground and fanzines. The illustration represents three emotional states: anxiety (the main character), stress (both characters that are climbing up) and procrastination (the little characters that are dancing), transferred in the artist’s own iconography, where the representations are not literary but abstract and surreal.”

Kaisla feels like the northern roots and Mediterranean home gives her an unique point of view to see things from two perspectives, that Inspire and bring up an emotion that she then channels into art. Kaisla´s art is childlike and naive, playing with bright colors and aesthetically funky yet still lives and patterns.

Kaisla describes the work done for Post bar: Inspired by afternoon siesta moment at a winery on a hot day, with the three essential siesta beverages: Coffee, vichy and wine. “ It reminds me of a moment of letting go of all worries, similar to the feeling I often experience on the dance floor.”

I hope some of this Sun radiates through the poster into the streets and homes of the Nordic Capital of the world.

Felix explains the work done for Post Bar: “I painted an image of balloons I took at a friends birthday party. While working on it I was pondering the different emotions a child can feel about a balloon – joy of getting it, the sadness when it escapes away with the wind or the slow alienation when the helium wears out. Balloons are also the ultimate symbol for parties.”

Eeli Saaristo

Eeli’s paintings are often a series of aesthetically resistant imagery in the sense of post-presentationalism, the image suggests an aesthetic familiarity to the artists personal adaption of contemporary stillness, but inverting it as an minor détournement of it’s own tools. The painting doesn’t become what it presents, since what it presents is not what is aesthetically perceived in the painting. The point of it being the cringe sweet spot, when one can experience the weird admiration for modernism, while realising the forced emptiness in the image.
Eeli lives and works in Helsinki.

As a basis for the commissioned Post bar poster Eeli choose to depict the wait of a wave by a surfer, a timely fitting subject.

Maria describes the work done for Post Bar: Trajectories of dancing bodies on a dimly lit dancefloor. I love people watching at clubs. I keep a mental archive of friend’s go-to dance moves. Seeing a familiar moves silhouetted in front of me on the dancefloor makes me feel at home.

Niklas describes the work done for Post Bar: “One of my main cores and sparkles for my way of working is the conscious usage of improvisation. How to leave space for the surprize and yet still be in control. This also relates to my mindset of clubbing. How to avoid the expectations for sensations and find a pure way of being in this environment. The balance of planning and compromises in combination with an ideology of ”It is what it is and how to make the best out of it”. The moment when you find yourself in the dancefloor surrounded by a packed crowd and still find the way to trance in nothingness is what I was relating to while working with this piece.”

SJ describes the work done for Post Bar: “The poster imagery is inspired by my most recent body of work/work in progress entitled ‘Eternal Life Motorsports’. The works visually explore concepts of endless repetition and eternity; these themes are easily translated to (something) within electronic/club music. The Coyote infinitely repeats its chase with Roadrunner, the barbed wire links are reiterations with no decipherable beginning, or end.”

Saara Vaniala (1987, Helsinki) is a local babe and self-taught visual artist, musician, writer and philosopher. Her curiosity towards mysticism translates into figurative, yet deeply symbolic artwork that often deals with transformation and evolution.

Digital platforms inspire her (and you might want to follow Saara’s posts on Facebook).

Saara describes the work done for Post Bar: “I love clubbing. I need it like I need air. It heals me. Glorious dance music, the humble and celestial arte of DJing, and the beautiful, dancing people. All happening in this precariously permissive setting called ‘the club’. In my piece I wanted to show what goes on in Post Bar. To tell a story to those who’ve never been inside and wonder what it’s like, but also to give a cheeky wink to those who frequent the place and know what’s up. A map of Post Bar.”

Landys Roimola

Landys Roimola, (born 1992, Bogota) is a sculptor, who is concerned about the growing problem with waste and recycling. Her sculptures are at the same time relatable, strange and beautiful – like misunderstood creatures that have been pulled from another universe. Dominated by the material, and with some unexpected results along the way, the waste gets a new life in Roimola’s hands. The way she used trash as a material grasps the ruthless reality of our time. Reusing and organizing of spurned materials brings out a possibility of hope.

Landys describes the work done for Post Bar: “Working with actual materials is very different from working with 2D surface but I wanted to reach the same feeling of uncomfortableness with this graphic as with my sculptures. The disturbing creature in the artwork got a human kind form and it is watching your back as well as its own.”

Toni Halonen

He has been exhibited and published in various countries internationally and currently continues his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki.

Toni describes the work done for Post Bar: “Its interesting that at least for me an abstract image tends to feel like an actual portrait when it is in the portrait format. Thats why I guess I tend to work more in the landscape size. For this work I tried to step out of my ways, embrace this and accept the feeling of an abstract portrait. In a way I guess we could call it a post portrait…”
