About the Exhibitor
Galleria Huuto is an independent artist collective located in Helsinki, Finland. It was founded in 2002, when a group of young artists, frustrated with the rigidness of the traditional art institutions, decided to establish a gallery for themselves. The freedom and independence of artistic work are the core values of Huuto, according to which all conditions are arranged. Huuto is especially aimed to stand as a forum for young and experimental art. Exhibiting artists formulate their own policies and are solely responsible for their own show. As an organization Galleria Huuto is focused on creating new institutional practices in art, promoting co-operation among artists and offering a platform for individual artists. Participants often see Huuto as an alternative art infrastructure: a place, a time and an opportunity to act.
