New Work!

Morjens everyone!

I have a new show coming up soon in the United States (Richmond, VA) I collaborated again with Christian Bannister, with whom I previously collaborated for the Points of View piece at Kopper this summer in Fiskars. This time we really collaborated by completely integrating the speakers into the artwork, making a chandellier that plays sounds rather than emitting light. Its title is "Chandellear." I have been writing about it in my own art blog which you can read by clicking here. Here's a picture to tempt you in the meantime. Hope all is well there- I wish I could come back to see you this winter!

kippis!

Kuubamot 11.8.2007

Some snap shots from Kuubamo village party at Baklura dance place 11.8.2007 (under the link). The theme was "Mexico". A rather colorful crowd yes..! Unfortunately we arrived quite late, so I don't have any images on the delicious "rosvopaisti", a lamb speciality prepared by Tapsa and the villagers. Some people call it "Silence of the lambs":)

Starting to blog

Hello Beili and everyone else, I am here!!!

It takes some time, I wasn't sure either how to work this thing out but now it's getting clearer to me. Just log in on https://www.blogger.com/start and then start blogging!

Fiskars is turning yellow and red... The summer was completely hysterical for me, now the village is getting calmer, wonderful, deep concentration is possible again. But the summer was great, especially arriving back from rainy Ireland to a hot Kuubamo-party at Baklura. I'll put up some images from that soon..

However, the residency doesn't die with the summer, luckily! Yesterday Ulrika (current AIR) showed us a collection of video art pieces (www.voyeurcollective.com) in the residency cellar. The garage is the most perfect place for video/film showings, I hope this initiative goes on with upcoming residents, it was very interesting videos, thank you Ulrika!

Also got a mail from Esteban, he sent me this image from Fiskars, he's developing them as we speak, hope to see more (on this blog) as he gets them finished.



I think I told you all about me and cabinetmaker Tuulias project, the cabinets with photographs. Well, now we finally launched them on the Finnish interior fair Habitare (www.habitare.fi). I made a web site for the products, check them out on:

The next artists in residence are British textile artist Deepa Panchamia (October-November) and Belgian designer Fleur Swildens (October). Deepa would be interested in a collaborative project with someone in Fiskars. If you should feel interested, don't hesitate but contact Deepa. Deepa also has work in the Transparent exhibition.

Now I have to get going to Helsinki to work on my images for the upcoming photography exhibition at the Copper Smithy, opening 6.10. The theme of my images? Sauna of course.

Keep posting!

Hi from Beili

I don't see any postings when I visit the blog, wonder if it is just me? Did any of you post stuff?
I tried it once before, after loading many photos they all vanished somewhere in transaction, I hope that this one goes in.
I just received a message from Lasse, thanks much! It is good to hear from you guys. I do miss Fiskars very much, especially now that school is starting soon here. There seems to be so much more "business" to take care of--life was much simpler and fun in Fiskars.
So I have updated my website, if you'all have spare time, please come for a visit...

Blue is working hard these days, and we are serious about making a Sauna! He's already collecting materials and it will be a circular structure. He's scheduling the construction in late September. I will send photos when I get started.
