Esseessä näkökulmia kolmen kuukauden tutkimusmatkalta julkisen taiteen toteutusmalleihin New Yorkissa

Tärkeitä asioita (Important things) is the first public artwork to be built in Ranta-Tampella, a new neighbourhood currently being built on the shores of Näsijärvi in central Tampere.

I now find myself in NYC, hosted by Residency Unlimited, for the months of September, October and November 2018. Here to sketch new works and study the local public art scene

One of the biggest permanent environmental works of art in Finland, Seven Steps to Save the Ocean speaks of climate hope through seven messages in different languages. Situated inside a popular tourist attraction, Ranua Wildlife Park near the Arctic Circle, the commissioned work highlights the global nature of the affects of a nwarming climate, from the point of view of the Arctic areas.

And other thoughts around my upcoming work on climate change at Ranua Wildlife Park in Finnish Lapland

Laadin tänä vuonna uuden konseptin sekä näyttelyarkkitehtuurin Suomen Kuvanveistäjäliiton ja Suomen Taidegraafikoiden vuotuiselle Teos -taidemyyntinäyttelylle Kaapelitehtaalla. Lähtökohtana on ajatus taiteesta työkaluna!

The subject of the work, commissioned by Ranua Wildlife Park in Lapland, will be our relationship with arctic nature and wildlife. Preliminary notes and photos.

Comparing ordinary street structures with ones designed by artists

Art in public space vs. public space as art.

An interesting video about the qualities of attractive cities by Alain de Botton and the School of Life.

I'm working as an artist in a street design team during fall 2015, researching how this kind of collaboration could be further developed and promoted.

Should we make space for unplanned presence of nature in the city space?
