    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 / All Night / Long

    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.

    What can we say here? Berlin dance music royalty. OG Panorama Bar rez, long time Tresor rez.

    Tama Sumo started out in a bar called Drama in Berlin’s Kreuzberg, and soon she started doing the gay Saturdays at Café Moskau, eventually ending up a resident at Globus/Tresor in 1994. When Panorama Bar opened ten years later, she was one of the first residents on the PBar side. Alumni stuff over here.

    Founded around 2018 in Vancouver by D. Tiffany, Planet Euphorique has since gone on to release 20 records, establishing a dedicated following of dance music aficionados and party people alike. The latest release, a compilation called Tiny Planet Vol. 4 features a collaborative track by emkay and Denzel, hence they're along for the ride with D. Tiff this Friday.

    But we can't spell fun without U. So you should also hop on the ride with us and make the planet dance. Whaddaya say there old pal, should we?

    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.

    Into The / 2024—I

    If the previous years weren’t tumultuous enough, 2023 sure levelled it up a few pegs. So if there’s one way to bring this year to a gracious end, it’s with a 36-hour party. Immerse yourself in a continuous celebration that transcends time and dissolves those demons (if only just a little bit).

    Let go, turn up, and take this ship into the year 2024.

    Starting off at 20:00 on Saturday evening the 30th and going full circle into Monday 08:00. Jump in at the beginning, in the middle, at the end. You can choose your own adventure and we’ll do our best to facilitate you with a selection of dandy locals, international acts, and a technically enhanced Post Bar environment.

    After an immersive live performance last weekend way up north at Solstice 2024, Exploited Body jumps right back on the wheel for an all night deejay extravaganza at Post Bar.

    Celebrating 10 years deejaying and 30 years of life, throughout these years Exploited Body, has released an album, a multitude of EPs, split an EP with E-Saggila, collaborated with Varg²™, and of course founded experimental music label Changeless. This body holds no bounds, and on Friday we get to witness the whole spectrum. We salute you, EB.

    LYDO https://soundcloud.com/lydole

    Techno, pervy & loving… MARICXS is a home for the outcast, marginalized and freaks of this world, a family that anyone can join ツ

    Created back in 2018 by Eloisa Blitzer, Gina Guasch and ISAbella to inject Barcelona nightlife with a fun dose of party that combined electronic music and the queer scene, MARICXS has since evolved into a visual entity, record label, platform and most importantly a community. They’ve been going all around the globe hosting parties and spreading love at clubs, festivals, Boiler Rooms, you name it.

    This Saturday they're back at Post Bar. For their third excursion at the Bar, they're bringing with them two mainstays of the collective: D. Tiffany and LYDO.

    D. Tiffany, sort of a staple to the crowd here by now. A magical mind that knows just which twists and turns to take, creating a psychedelic groove sanctuary that sweeps you away. Bouncy housey rhythms meld into vivid and pulsating techno scorchers. This is for the feet and soul.

    NYC deejay LYDO as a pairing for this night comes as a perfect mid summer treat for all you heads. Throw out your preconceived notions about what music to play together — LYDO is masterful at blending things that shouldn’t go side-by-side. From the darkest realms of techno and experimental music to cheerful and life-affirming swing.

    We’re about to go down a path of sensory glory.

    Mmmh. Musica. Supreriore. Tasteful yet fun. Serious yet dumb.

    Jacob & Julius are back on home turf after a looong while, and they hit that musical G spot every single time. They’ll be closing shop for a whomper three and a half hour electric boogaloo. Can you end a summer night better? Another main instigator and key player, namely Irma, opens up shop for the first three. Can you start the end of a summer night better? Mark it down.

    Club DOS: / ISAbella (CO) & Octo Octa (US) / & Joni DJ

    ISAbella https://soundcloud.com/bellasalmonella

    Octo Octa https://soundcloud.com/octoocta

    Joni DJ https://soundcloud.com/jonidjdj

    Big summer heater this Friday: The Helsinki premiere of ISAbella's night time series Club DOS, which focuses on bringing her friends and most loved artists under one roof.

    ISAbella is one of the leading figures of the Barcelona club scene, but her reach goes far beyond the DJ booth. A co-founder of the celebrated LGBTQ+ party, platform and collective MARICAS, she’s become a veritable icon within the city’s queer community while carving out space for dancers of all stripes and backgrounds to find connection, both on and off the dancefloor.

    For the first edition of Club DOS, ISAbella invites Octo Octa, a name many don't need an introduction to these days but it won't hurt to say a few words. For well over a decade, the Chicago-born deejay has been making work that will have you smiling, crying, screaming, and dancing, usually in the house and techno realm. She can often be found doing her thing with Eris Drew but those solo missions are where she can break out by for example playing an all-out drum and bass set (see comment section).

    This Friday ISAbella and Octo OCta go back-to-back for four hours, after Joni DJ does a little warming up of the floor. Big tip.

    We kick off with those deep emotions Katerina sure can provide and continue with Northern Finland's purveyours of the master beat, playing back-to-back for the rest of the night.

    Katerina surely needs no introduction: the Émotsiya / Kotarak label head has been the Helsinki guiding light for close to two decades, having released music on Running Back, Cómeme, Hivern Discs, Tigersushi and Rhythm Section, and being a frequent guest at Panorama Bar and of course holding down residencies in her hometown clubs. Top de la notch.

    Juhani Oivo is a long time influential figure in the electronic music scene of his hometown Oulu, running the town’s esteemed Elektorni nights, and has a 20 year track record of doing music events club nights in the Northern capital. Otilia is the co-founder of Cultish, a creative community in Oulu, and does a monthly radio show on KRO.fm (Kulttuuriradio Oulu). Their extended back-to-back will embark on bringing the best sides of both, combined into a delicacy for auditory arrousal.

    OK SOUND 3 YEARS: / Ferdelance LIVE / & Mary Young & / Sharkki /& KG

    Things happen. Things go. Things come apart. Things show.

    OK Sound has for the last three year’s shown Helsinkians (and visitors) music through means of physical real life interaction ie. a record shop. Nestled in the heart of Kallio, OK SOUND has a broad selection of 2nd hand music, from all kinds of dance music to dub and reggae, experimental and beyond. Not to mention new releases that come in from different parts of Europe on a nearlly weekly basis.

    This is currently the only stable record shop of its kind in Helsinki. That's to say, a shop with a large collection of dance music. In addition to selling and buying music, OK SOUND is curates a monthly mix series, hosts in-store deejay sessions and throws the occasional party. An institute to cherish and hope to live long and prosper.

    This Friday we celebrate three years of its existance with a live performance from dembow killah Ferdelance (Viktor Kalima), UK influenced party series orchestrator Mary Young, Top Billin’s swanky one man festival Sharkki and of course OK's own KG.

    DJ Fett Burger (NO) / & Telephones (NO) / All Night Long

    Norway's greatest are back: The beat master of Bergen, Telephones, and the master from Moss, DJ Fett Burger, jump in for an all night megaextravaganza. They left the dance floor ablaze and in love last year, almost exactly a year ago (Flow Saturday). Still get a bit misty-eyed thinking about it.<

    Fett Burger (and his brother DJ Sotofett) have run the infamous Sex Tags imperium for two decades now, releasing some of the quirkiest, most fun (dance) music out there, with an unparalleled dedication to the craft and a strong vision of how they like things. Love & affection, baby.

    Telephones, also a true spirit of the groove, in addition to having Norway’s best moustache of course, runs European Carryall, the label home to his own music and a fine example of free-spirited and sublime house and techno that oooozes with lushness, often finding the perfect equilibrium of dark room meets sun deck.

    Time after time these two have enamoured crowds around the globe with their back-to-back tour de force. Now we get to swim in the deep end again. Rev up the Bugatti.

    Amniote Editions: / Mama Snake (DK) / Eastern Distributor (AU) / & DJ JVS

    Another lethal injection of venomous party energy hits town as Mama Snake's Post Bar residency, Amniote Editions strikes the Bar for the second instalment.

    Mama Snake and Tanya Akinola started Amniote editions back in 2019, releasing capsules of music that thread the line between "Copenhagen Techno", tripped out electro, ambient and experimental club sounds. The Amniote Editions club night aims to expand this horizon, showcasing the Snake's close circle of likeminded sound reptiles.

    This Friday Naarm-based producer and deejay Eastern Distributor (aka Jörmungandr) joins the ranks. This pscyhed our world serpent is all about the trippiest transcedence, backed up by those lazer untz kicks and weirdo energy — a sure shot headspinner, to be enjoyed only by those who got the chops!

    The second invitee of the night is one our newest favorites, the Club Zero member and all-around good guy DJ JVS. The boy's been killing it as of late, and we expect nothing less of him on Friday.

    Let's get swangin' and bangin'.

    LNS (CA) & DJ SOTOFETT (NO) / ALL NIGHT LONG

    LNS, originally from Calgary, CA, has since years been an integral part of building Vancouver’s underground music community, creating and DJing on point and under the radar events. Her DJing reflects influences rooted in Detroit and UK Techno, Braindance, and Electro, influences which are also apparent in her musical production. She has released on labels such as Wania, Freakout Cult, her own LNS, and most recently on Tresor Records alongside DJ Sotofett for their collaborative debut album.

    DJ Sotofett is with his productions, wide spanned collaborations & myriad of aliases one of the most releasing artist from Norway’s extended club & leftfield scene. As a DJ for two decades, the musical source is simply rooted in the past five decades of sound system music. Whether it’s unexpected, unconventional, straight, or unreleased music it’s presented as either short-and-full-on Techno/Electro sets or very lengthy & eclectic journeys of the exceptionally wide spectrum of dance music – all with a heavy turntable & mixing tradition from Hip-Hop and Techno culture.

    Into The 2025: / 30h non-stop party

    Year after year this show we call ‘life on earth’ seems to be ramping up. 2024 unlocked yet again a new level. So what can we do? Well we can at least be together for hours on end, sweating, dancing to big beats and nice lights in a dark room. We can also do the same in a more lit room, with some rugs and other rump-softeners as we sit and lay down, listening to glistening celestial music designed to relax.

    What all that means is we’re going into 2025 with a 30-hour get-together. This time Post Bar teams up with Red Arctic Desert Cult aka RADC, who will bring their Grotto side along with them.
    We start at 22:00 on the 31st with some of our esteemed locals and a special guest from the UK, shaking off the dust from a year gone by. 

    The "afters" section starting around 04:00 in the AM is where the final exorcism of past demons really gets going. The wild one, the cleaning of our slates.

    As we approach the noon of January 1st, RADC transforms the space into ‘Grotto’ — a cozy sanctuary to take in the new year onto a clean slate, through a wind down, including a meditation, smoothies, pillows, rugs — anything to make you more comfortable. All the while we’ll enjoy a live music performance coupled with ambient and downtempo DJ sets.

    As light outside starts to fade away around 16:00, the ‘Red Yö’ part of the event comes into play, priming people into a new night, newly built visions of a better future — a new start.
    Jump in at the beginning, in the middle, at the end. Choose your own adventure and we’ll facilitate your needs. Into the 2025.

    LIVE AT THE BAR: YSI (LIVE) / Club Night At The Bar: / LA DJ Bug / & djrubio / Jussi Niskanen

    LIVE AT THE BAR is an early evening concert concept.

    YSI is the sonic project of Helsinki-based music-maker Tuomas Soppela. Fusing grunge, industrial textures, eastern tonalities, and ambient flavoured pop, YSI builds meditative and enigmatic soundscapes that blur the lines between instinct and intention. Drawing from noise, shoegaze, and leftfield techno, the music feels both intimate and expansive — an invitation to feel rather than to decipher.

    On Thursday 24th, Oui oui extends its growing cultural newsletter into IRL form. This ‘live essay’ - a fluid, thought-provoking panel discussion — features five intriguing individuals who engage in collective conversation together with the audience, exploring the defining questions of the moment we live in.

    Pietari Pyykönen, creator of Oui oui, will be joined by Taija Roiha, Arttu Seppänen, Mia Wennerstrand, Samuli Knuuti, and Hilla Körkkö to explore topics like elitism, the crisis of meaning, and the death of nuance. Afterwards, we’ll hang out and debrief with a selection of songs chosen by Oui oui readers, followed by Ada Aik who will curate the music for the rest of the evening.

    Doors open at 20:00. Happy hour prices at the bar apply throughout the evening.

Taika Mannila

Taika Mannila is a Helsinki-based multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, and writer who is currently trying really hard to figure out if a girl can party and write a book at the same time. She’s known for dreaming and joking, and has been a “both hands in the air while playing” type of DJ for, like, a thousand years. Lately, she has found comfort in knowing that Charli XCX is interested in the concept of staying too long (at the party).

Taika describes the work done for Post Bar: “This is how I imagine the Patron Saint of Hot Girl Reading: flapping her angel wings as she lights yet another cigarette. I also have a strong gut feeling that Sexy Angel Summer is loading around the corner! Plus, I just read in my horoscope that May will be a magical time…”

Artist of the month

Kurt Woerpel

Kurt Woerpel is a designer and art director living and working in Brooklyn, NY. In 2018 he assisted in the redesign and relaunch of Interview Magazine under Richard Turley, after which he served as art director until 2024. Now he maintains a full time freelance practice contributing to projects for clients like Apple and Adidas alongside community-run projects like Brooklyn Art Book Fair. In addition to commercial work Kurt is also a partner in TXTbooks, an independent publisher of Risograph zines since 2014. His work has been recognized by the Type Directors Club and Young Guns awards among others.

Kurt describes the work done for Post Bar: “The area surrounding our studio in Bushwick, NY is semi-industrial zone with little to no foot-traffic at night, making it a prime place for people to drop stolen or otherwise derelict vehicles. This poster, a mixture of 3D scan and blender, envisions one of these cars in the last hours leading up to its abandonment.”

Artist of the month

Lauri Toikka

Lauri Toikka is a type & graphic designer based in Helsinki. He was the Graphic Designer of the year in 2020. 

Lauri describes the work done for Post Bar: ”A selection of shapes – organic, mineral and imagined. The collection features a variety of textures resembling rocks, crystals, fossils, planets and elastic forms.”

Artist of the month

Justus Arvelin

The message of the January ‘25 poster is: “Remember to smell flowers.” It is done by graphic designer and disc jockey Justus Arvelin (2000), who recently returned to Helsinki from New York. The piece features Justus’ late cat Paavo, who knew how to dream of every moment. We should all focus on making the present worth dreaming about. The original artwork is a 4-colour risograph print done at School of Visual Arts in New York at the end of Justus’ exchange studies.

Artist of the month

Joeri Woudstra

In the work of The Hague-based artist and composer Joeri Woudstra/Torus (1993), nostalgia and melancholy are recurring themes. From musical performances with strobe lights and Top 40 pop music to installations and videos featuring carnival sounds and water slides, his work evokes a longing for (not yet) bygone teenage years.

Artist of the month

Pol Taburet

Pol Taburet (b. 1997, Paris, France) lives and works in Paris. Taburet’s work is a heady and iconoclastic mix of references that range from the artist’s own Caribbean background, the region’s synchretic voodoo traditions and belief systems, wider contemporary culture, as well as classical painting. Born in 1997, the artist has rapidly gained attention with his idiosyncratic painterly style, which he has developed by incorporating the use of airbrushing alongside traditional brush painting with acrylic colors. The formal result is a unique contraposition of textures and finishings, of painstaking detail, “impressionistic” suggestion and symbolism.

This double technique, an amalgamation of old and new, can be viewed as symbolic of Taburet’s work as a whole. The freshness of this subject matter, which somehow feels entirely new, combined with an undeniably youthful and energetic aesthetic, is underpinned by influences that firmly belong to the traditional canon of art history. From Francis Bacon to Baroque and religious art, these influences are all visible but his work is not subjugated to them. His twisted figures, which often appear as hybrids between human and animal, stand out against starkly abstract backgrounds. Taburet says his subjects speak of life and death, and the passage from one to the other. In their own way, his paintings hold a spiritual quality that is hard to define, and which might not be immediately apparent. An instinctive artist, Taburet’s themes, forms, compositions and even meaning often reveal themselves to him as he paints.

Artist of the month

Alvar Gullichsen

Alvar Gullichsen’s (b. 1961) works from his geometric period (2010-) are a continuation of modernist abstract art. He is interested in transcultural, universal forms and patterns that recur in the world. Gullichsen’s approach to modernism is visionary, incorporating an open-minded curiosity toward psychedelia, esotericism, transcendental philosophy, mysticism, and spiritual traditions. His square compositions, or “modules,” serve as starting points for architectural spatial illusions, which Gullichsen conceives as inner temples, archetypal states of the soul, inviting the viewer to step inside.

Artist of the month

Basile Fournier

Basile Fournier Studio is a creative practice focused on graphic design and computer-generated imagery. The studio’s work oscillates between physical and virtual realms, engaging with cultural and corporate brands to craft diverse narratives and visual languages through new technologies. Operating within the fields of fashion, culture, and luxury, each project seeks to evoke a unique resonance by exploring the profound connection between the digital and the human spirit.

Artist of the month

Her practice includes motion design, visual arts, 3D and publication practice. She is an art director and a graphic designer for  Fantasy Football Magazine.

Sanna describes the work done for Post Bar: “Being inspired by graphic design, that is so layered and detailed that it gives you a headache when you look at it.”

Artist of the month

Helmi Nieminen

Helmi Nieminen is a visual artist based in Helsinki. Helmi works with drawing, ceramics, metal, paper mache and textile. Through colorful installations her works come together and invite the viewer to step inside her universe. Helmis’ world is inhabited by animals, dragons and other imagined characters. With her works Helmi wants to create space for playfulness and imagining new worlds, all of which are vital in these turbulent times.

Helmi Nieminen describes the work done for Post Bar: “I made this drawing last winter when I was daydreaming about summer…I imagined a warm day spent hanging around with friends and fooling around…and maybe ending up somewhere fun, dancing the night away”

Artist of the month

Veera Kortelainen

Veera Kortelainen is a Helsinki based freelance graphic designer.

Operating with design has brought a strong understanding of material and form to her art practice, recently she has been working especially with ceramics.

Iines describes the work done for Post Bar:
I wanted my work to express feelings similar to the bright, even harsh, spring sunlight, such as a sudden strong feeling of affection. Spring is here and I’m ready to feel it all!

He helped co-found and design the Avant-garde record label WORLD CANVAS in 2020 with Romance Relic. He’s also been involved with creating music videos and providing visual guidance to artist all around the world. His main motive is to create “emotional symbolism” in everything he does.

Gabriel describes the work done for post bar: “The art work captures a pulsating sound wave traveling over a stale piece of metal, liquifying it in the process.”

“Rakastaja Robert is the Marvin Gaye of illustration. His blissful work looks like all the colours on the palette just had a steaming hot orgy, where no one was left unsatisfied. It will surely turn you on.

Robert describes the work done for Post Bar: “I wanted to create something tropical to get us through December darkness”.

Artist of the month

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

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.”

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.”

“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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.

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”.

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.”

Teemu Keisteri (1985, Espoo) is a visual artist living and working in Helsinki. He has been getting a lot of attention with his Ukkeli character which he uses for paintings, drawings and unique clothing. Keisteri gets his inspiration from cultural phenomena and Finnish lifestyle and uses often himself as the subject of his art. Besides Ukkeli, Keisteri makes video art, art and dance performances, his own music in the band PEU and DJ shows under the name Windows95Man. Keisteri’s videos have won popularity with the internet and social media audiences. Keisteri also has his own art gallery Kalleria in Kallio, Helsinki.

Teemu describes the work done for Post Bar: ”I’m really a big fan of 90s/80s rave/house/italodisco record label logos and I wanted to use this Nervous record label logo as an inspiration to my Post Bar poster.

I wanted to do something that is fun, easygoing and what makes people happy, and I’m really happy how it went.”

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

Toni Halonen is a visual artist currently based in Helsinki. His works play with the moment when an representational image starts to break up in to an abstract picture plane. 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…”

Irene Suosalo

Irene Suosalo is a Helsinki based visual artist with a background in photography and moving image. In her work she uses a scanner with various different materials from paper to everyday objects to create images that lie somewhere between figurative and abstract. In addition to still imagery she recently started working as a video jockey for nightclubs and festivals by bringing the scanner works to life. She is also interested in playing with light by creating light installations.

Irene describes the work done for Post Bar: “I chose the colors and hand movement but after that the process was all trial and error. Eventually the images came to be something modern but retro and it felt right.”
