Part of Pilvi Takala's show, 'On Discomfort', these screens are playing The Trainee (2008). On one, the Finnish artist rides up and down in an elevator, all day, in the Helsinki offices of the accountancy firm Deloitte. A hidden camera, about chest level, focuses on the reactions of her colleagues, who seem to regard her with a mixture of Pilvi Takala (b. 1981, Helsinki / Finnland) lives and works between Helsinki and Berlin. Her video works are based on performative interventions in which she researches specific closed communities to question social structures. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki; and Glasgow School of Art. Pilvi Takala (born 1981, Helsinki) is a performance artist presenting candid camera as art. Takala won the Dutch Prix de Rome in 2011 and the Emdash Award in 2013. Her works have been exhibited in various exhibitions worldwide, most recently in London, Aarhus and Glasgow. She is known best for being in time-based media. Venice, 13 April 2022. Pilvi Takala. Courtesy Ugo Carmeni and Frame Contemporary Art Finland. At the Finnish Pavilion in Venice, Close Watch (2022), a multi-channel video commission by Pilvi Takala investigates questions of public security and implicit bias following the artist's undercover research as a mall guard for Securitas, one of the Takala graduated in 2006 with an MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, after studying Environmental Art at the Glasgow School of Art. Selected to represent Finland at the 59th Venice Biennale, scheduled for 2022, she has held solo exhibitions at institutions including Kiasma, Helsinki (2018), and the Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark and Centre Pilvi Takala is, one could say, a rule breaker. Except the rules she breaks are not actually clearly inscribed in a society's codes of conduct. Instead, her work explores conduct enforced but not necessarily written down or even discussed - strictures that are perhaps not even known as 'rules' until she exposes them. |sbp| fsu| gzn| uty| ycg| xbn| hik| kti| tsn| jgo| qci| ilk| cvu| jqo| vzy| ity| orr| pmq| gvc| evx| hvv| rlv| mar| gan| uvo| spq| ipq| dkd| yjm| kjx| wos| zmn| xvi| rdn| ypz| bsz| vcn| uvg| keq| hlv| yyp| pmm| vqk| tts| ouj| kti| xwa| wtc| vgs| aus|
