At EKKM in Tallinn, Salla Tykkä’s video work Lasso will be seen in the international group exhibition The Laugh of the Medusa, running between 27 October – 17 December 2023. The exhibition, curated by Maria Helen Känd, focuses on the bodily experiences and sexuality of women, offering alternatives to the image of women pervasive in the media and evoking different visions of what is erotic and attractive for the female gaze.
In Seoul, South Korea, Tykkä’s works Zoo and Victoria will be on show at Artspace Boan’s group exhibition When they were kings. The exhibition will explore themes such as animality, wildness, invasion, territory, tension, and territory that can be derived from the word “animal.” When they were kings, curated by Younghee Kang, will present multiple perspectives and stories, revealing new ways of thinking about these concepts. The exhibition is on view from 20 October until 12 November 2023.
