Sasha Huber & Petri Saarikko: Like Night and Day
18.10.–30.11.2024
Lokal Gallery
In this exhibition two artists, Sasha Huber and Petri Saarikko, come together to explore themes of otherness and connection.
Sasha Huber’s works focus on stitching out personal and ancestral memories, while Petri Saarikko explores interaction, communication, and the meanings of community. Both artists highlight the multidimensionality of otherness: how opposites can complement each other – like night and day.
Sasha Huber is a Helsinki-based, internationally recognised, multidisciplinary visual artist of Swiss-Haitian heritage. Huber’s work is concerned with the politics of memory, care, and belonging in relation to colonial residues left in the environment. Her signature working method is the staple gun. While being aware of its symbolic significance as a weapon, it offers her the potential to renegotiate unequal power dynamics, and a possibility of repair, of symbolically stitching together colonial wounds.
Petri Saarikko is a Helsinki-based artist and designer whose work is invested in experiential understanding of the world, particularly through the prisms of visible light and colour. This interest extends to contemplating how, for example, a painting might transition from daylight into darkness. His work thus embodies a multimodal exploration of entangled social, historical, and philosophical domains.
