Teemu Mäki (1967–, Finland).
I’m an artist, director, writer and researcher. A Doctor of Fine Arts (Finnish Academy of Fine Arts 2005). Since 1990 I have been an independent, freelancing artist, except for the years 2008–2013, when I was the Professor of Fine Arts in Aalto University.
I work in the fields of art, philosophy and politics by whatever means necessary. The results are usually some kind of visual art, literature, theater, film or theory. For me art is the most flexible, versatile and holistic form of philosophy and politics. Art expands philosophical and political thinking into the realm of the non-verbal and makes it a bodily, sensuous activity.
I’ve had 52 solo exhibitions, participated in over 200 group shows, written seven books and directed numerous theatre plays, films and operas.
