Professor in Live Art and Performance Studies MA programme, Theatre Academy

Esittely

I am an artist and post-doctoral researcher, and the professor in Live Art and Performance Studies (LAPS) MA programme in the University of the Arts Helsinki. In my 2016 Doctoral dissertation, my research focused on the effects of cognitive capitalism on artistic research. I followed this with two post-doctoral research projects: a one-year project at the Collegium for Advanced Studies at the University of Helsinki (2017) and a four-year collaborative research project funded by the Academy of Finland, ‘How to Do Things with Performance?’ Originally trained in visual arts, where I concluded my education in 2000, my artistic practice combines techniques in media art, performance and language-based artworks in researching the interstices between intangible forms and material cultures. Both my research and artistic practices highlight the experimental ethos and non-standard methods in approaching the contemporary moment. Since 2018 I have been the full Professor in Live Art and Performance Studies MA programme at the Uniarts Helsinki.
