Henna-Riikka Halonen’s works are often responses to a specific context or a site, aiming to highlight our need to structure experiences as fiction to gain an understanding of them. By creating speculative systems or worlds, her work explores our relationship to materials, objects, words, and living and non-living beings. Halonen has worked on and produced many collaborative and large- scale projects and commissions and has shown her work widely in international exhibitions and festivals such as Incheon Biennale of Women Artists, South-Korea, IFFR, Rotterdam, Hayward Gallery London, 2017, Biennale of Sydney 2014, Lilith Performance Studio. Malmo, Centre Pompidou, Paris etc and Gus Fisher Gallery, New Zealand. Halonen graduated with an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, London in 2006. She completed a Doctorate at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki in 2020.
