Artist's Statement

I'm visual artist and independent writer, living and working in Lapland, Finland. I hold a master degree (MFA) from the University of Arts Helsinki, Academy of Fine arts, the department of sculpture.

Even when drawing, I feel that I'm a sculptor beyond anything else. I'm interested in objects and how one can give shape to things out of reach. The making of concrete pieces is analogous to language construction; in that sense thinking is also three-dimensional. Through my working, I would love to be involved in creating encounters that would open the way beyond words.

Bio

Savu E. Korteniemi (b. 1986) is visual artist and independent writer, living and working in Lapland. Savu in their artistic practice uses mostly sculpture and drawing. During their artistic process, Savu puts also a strong attention on writing and notation practice as a tool to reflect and discuss questions that arise during their research. Communicating and collaborating with others is also a key part of their work. Savu E. Korteniemi holds a master degree from the University of Arts Helsinki, Academy of Fine Arts.

Even when drawing, Savu E. Korteniemi feels that they are above all a sculptor. They are particularly interested in objects and how one can give shape to things out of reach. The making of concrete pieces in analogous to language construction. In that sense thinking is also three-dimensional. Like objects, thinking is silent; networks of language form a self-enclosed world; language can't pass these borders.
