Galleria Huuto

Helsinki, Finland

Galleria Huuto is an independent artists' collective with 88 members based in Helsinki, Finland. Currently Huuto maintains two galleries and can also be realized elsewhere in form of various events, projects and visits. Huuto was founded in 2002 and it organises annually as many as 35-50 contemporary art exhibitions.

As an organization Huuto is focused on promoting interaction among artists, creating new institutional practices in art and offering a platform for individual artists. To work within Huuto requires merely an interest for constructive collaboration with other artists.

This year at Supermarket, Galleria Huuto stages Niina Lehtonen Braun’s installation Mother Said and a video selection Greetings from Another Side presenting works by Pasi Autio, Maija Blåfield, Niina Lehtonen Braun, Mikko Kuorinki, Johanna Lecklin, and Miia Rinne.
