K17 - A multidisciplinary art space

Located in Nikkilä, Sipoo, K17 is an adventurous new multidisciplinary art space operating all year-round. The unique building was once used as the Nikkilä Psychiatric Hospital greenhouse and has served as a project and exhibition space for art since 2022. K17 offers artists a longer exhibition period than usual, two months for free work and presentation of art. The structure of the space makes it possible to perform works between outdoor and indoor spaces and encourages challenging prevailing practices of performance and work. K17 working group members are visual artists Mika Helin and Iisa Lepistö.
