CURRICULUM VITAE



(updated: July 30, 2008)

Born 1967. Doctor of Fine Arts (Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, Finland).


I am an artist. I am also perspectival moral relativist, atheist, vitalist, and socialist. Compulsive joker too.

I make paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, videos, installations, sculpture, performances, theatre, texts and other things.

For me art is an the most flexible, versatile and comprehensive form of philosophy and politics.
