Eetu Huhtala: Going Nowhere

Going Nowhere brings together works connected by thoughts of division, the distance forming between people, and the growing fragility of shared space. Split in two, lopsided, and always returning to the starting point. The exhibition Going Nowhere brings together works connected by thoughts of division, the distance forming between people, and the growing fragility of shared space. The exhibition consists of works made of steel and aluminium that borrow their forms and functions from large-scale objects and devices found in public spaces. Individual works are rooted in experiences of supporting structures disappearing, unevenness, and aimlessness. Throughout the works, however, there is a recurring sense of distance and of the impossibility of closing it. Eetu Huhtala (b. 1993, Äänekoski) is a sculptor living in Helsinki and working in Kerava. Huhtala’s practice consists of moving mechanical sculptures, large-scale metal sculptures, and multisensory works. His works are often based on familiar everyday objects, devices, or structures, which, through changes in their function or form, become connected to personal experiences and broader societal problems. Mechanical objects often become flawed in a distinctly human way. Forum Box 2.-25.10.2026 Tue-Sun 12.00-17.00 Free entry Photo: Eetu Huhtala
