The group exhibition ‘Household’, featuring Paavo Kärki, Otso Prunnila, Aino Tillonen and Ossi Vuori, is on view at Poriginal Gallery in Pori, Finland, through October 18, 2026. The exhibition is presented in connection with Pori Art Museum, whose English-language website lists the show among its current exhibitions under the venue designation “Poriginal-gallery, Pori Art Museum.”
The exhibition brings together works by four artists, although the available announcement does not provide a curatorial statement or further details about a shared theme. Its title, ‘Household’, is the only contextual description supplied in the museum’s public listings. The show is identified as a group exhibition rather than a solo presentation or a museum-wide programme.
The museum’s August newsletter names the exhibition dates as August 22 through October 18. Pori Art Museum’s English website lists the run as August 21 through October 18, with an opening event recorded for August 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. The differing opening dates appear in the institution’s own materials; the closing date is consistent across the listings.
An image accompanying the newsletter identifies a work by Paavo Kärki as ‘wall paintings 1–4, (part) 2026’, made in oil on canvas and measuring 120 by 110 centimetres. The supplied exhibition information does not identify which works by Prunnila, Tillonen or Vuori are included, nor does it specify the number of works, the media represented or the exhibition layout.
Poriginal Gallery is listed at Eteläranta in Pori and gives free admission. The gallery’s published information states that it is closed on Mondays. Pori Art Museum, also located at Eteläranta, is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; its website lists admission at €10 or €6, with free entry for visitors under 18 and students. These museum admission details are separate from the gallery’s stated free admission.
The exhibition is scheduled to remain at Poriginal Gallery until October 18, extending beyond the closing dates of three exhibitions at the main Pori Art Museum: ‘Maire Gullichsen and the Turning Points of Modernism’, ‘De Se Attitude’ and ‘Contra Conservatio’, all listed through August 30. The museum’s upcoming programme includes ‘PoriPostModern’, a solo exhibition by Grace Ndiritu, scheduled to open on September 26 and run through February 28, 2027, while ‘Household’ continues at Poriginal Gallery.
