push firma beige

I have founded the place called, push firma beige, which includes: educational services shows experimential local publication. push firma beige is active and participating. I work with organizations of the disabled people, local schools and nurseries. The goal of the activities is to reinforce the solidarity in the area and present different groups of community to each other.

As an artist I´m interested in people and their social environment. While working I have a direct relationship with my environment and with its reactions. I´m interested in interactivitive communication, people and their presence as a part of my work: people experience, react and take part.

I make interviews and videos, use computers and different kind of equipment. I try to find out in which way different media are able to reach people. I´m a connector between art and the community of the area, where I work. I find new ways / channels to present my visual works. My studio as a presentation, exhibition and teaching place makes my work public and shows my co-operation with different kinds of groups of people in my area.

My art pieces are the documentations of relationship with local community, my vision of every day life in Helsinki, Finland .
