Claiming 41,000 sqm. of floor space The Power Station of Art is clearly aiming to become a major destination on the global art scene. A ride up long escalators produces a jaw dropping view down to the entry lobby. The building truly reflects the fast paced change in all of China. At night it becomes a real spectacle with a neon thermometer on the chimney and the obligatory flashing lights.

Galerie Forsblom in Helsinki will be showing new works by Harri Koskinen and Ola Kolehmainen from 14 September to 14 October. This joint exhibition is one of the highlights of the autumn events in the 2012 World Design Capital.
Both Koskinen and Kolehmainen are known for their minimalistic approach. On show at Forsblom there will be glass pieces and wall panels by Koskinen and large scale photographic prints by Kolehmainen.
We met with Ola Kolehmainen at his darkroom in Helsinki, where he explored ideas, inspirations and the technique behind his new photographs.
