Jenna Sutela
Jenna Sutela is a Finnish artist based in Berlin. In her work, Sutela explores biological and computational processes, from the human microbiome to planetary ecosystems to language and code. Her sculptures, installations, and sound pieces frequently include chance elements and evolving structures: they are both live and alive. Often working in dialogue with scientists, she is interested in moving beyond individualism and anthropocentrism to consider interrelationships at all scales. Her work has been presented internationally, including at the Castello di Rivoli, Turin (2025); Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève (2024); Swiss Institute, New York (2023); Helsinki Biennale (2023); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2022); Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki (2022); Shanghai Biennial (2021); Liverpool Biennial (2021); Kunsthall Trondheim (2020); Serpentine Galleries, London (2019); and Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2019). Sutela has been a visiting artist at La Becque, MIT, and Callie’s Berlin. She will exhibit in the Finnish Pavilion at the 61st International Venice Biennale 2026.
