BOOKSTORE OF THE MONTH: NAPA / HELSINKI

Ever since I spent a few summer days there, I’ve been a bit of a fan of Helsinki, that strange place on the northern edge of Europe, so I was always hoping that one day, we would have a store there to sell something like 5 copies or so (they don’t have that many people [...]

The independent project space Galerie Weisser Elefant invited photography project Uncommon Place to curate a group exhibition with [...]
