The American specialists in Scandinavian ceramics—with galleries in New York and Los Angeles—filled their first floor room with large-scale works including glossily glazed animals by Jasmin Anoschkin. “It has a cartoonish, fantastical quality,” said Juliet Burrows of the hybrid creatures stalking across the floor. “It’s the world of the childhood imagination.” The Finnish artist uses glaze in a liberal layered way, to complete these wide-eyed quadrupeds.
Jasmin Anoschkin and Veera Kulju are featured in the Carnival of Clay exhibition, opening on October 5 at the Art and Museum Center Sinkka in Kerava, Finland.

Art lovers and collectors often look forward to Independent New York’s annual fair because of its curated selection of invitation-only works from artists working across the world and represented by international galleries.
This year’s 15th anniversary edition at Spring Studios in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood won’t disappoint with 37 galleries, of a total of 88, coming to the fair for the first time. Many will bring artists who are having their New York debut.
The Independent art fair has named the 77 exhibitors that will participate in its upcoming New York edition, which is scheduled to run May 9–12 at Spring Studios in Tribeca. As was the case last year, Independent will not align with Frieze New York, which is to be staged the week prior.
The 2024 iteration of Independent marks its 15th anniversary, with its first edition held at the former Dia building in Chelsea in 2010 during Armory Week.
Anoschkin’s exuberant aesthetic springs from an amalgam of sources, melding the languages of contemporary folk art, pop culture, and the toy industry. The artist’s naïve renderings of hybrid animals are conjured from her own imagination and personal experiences. These animated works are strikingly fresh in their playfulness, yet they belie deeper qualities confronting issues around otherness and the ways in which “different” beings live in the world.
Anoschkin creates spirited sculptures from wood and ceramics, with a strikingly personal touch. The successful Finnish artist's second New York exhibition opens in September at HB381 gallery.
The Arabia Art Department Society's 20th anniversary show Northern Latitude 60.20890 opens at the Iittala & Arabia Design Center on September 14, 2023 and will be on view through January 28, 2024. The exhibition of Finnish contemporary ceramics is curated by New York-based gallerists Juliet Burrows and Kim Hostler. It is accompanied by a catalog, Arabia Art Department Society: 20 Years, featuring an essay by Burrows.
Jasmin Anoschkin creates her sculptures entirely by her own hand, whether she is carving wood with a chainsaw or molding clay. Eschewing attempts at technical perfection, she does not hide evidence of these physical processes, embracing uneven surfaces or unexpected glaze effects in her ceramic works. Her whimsical yet poignant characters and the dreamlike world they inhabit suggest an alternative to the rigid and narrow societal standards of what is valued and accepted.
New sculptures by Jasmin Anoschkin are on view at the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum of Art in Turku, Finland through September 17, in the exhibition "Hei tyypit!”
"Hei tyypit!” highlights contemporary Finnish sculpture, featuring works by Anoschkin, Mia Hamari, Johanna Havimäki, Kim Jotuni, Hanna Makkonen, and Tiia Matikainen.
Utilizing clay, wood, and glass in a versatile manner, Anoschkin creates artworks whose roughly hewn shapes seem to have sprung directly from a child’s vivid imagination; her characters are unashamedly themselves.
The artists of the Arabia Art Department Society are featured in the new exhibition “Atelier Life,” on view at the Hvitträsk Museum in Finland through September.
In the world of design, Kyösti Kakkonen's collection can hardly be matched. The Finnish collector has a remarkable career behind him, during which he managed to amass over 10,000 pieces of the finest ceramic and glass design spanning over a century.
Opening on 10th November 2022, EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art unveils its largest project to date: a new 1000m² exhibition space dedicated to Collection Kakkonen. Bridging the gap between art and design, Collection Kakkonen has been brought together over the course of 35 years by prominent businessman and collector Kyösti Kakkonen, subsequently gaining recognition as the most significant collection of unique and limited-edition Finnish glass and ceramics in the world.
