I’m CURRENTLY working on
Some of my favourite collaborations <3
TIIA-MARI AALTO, performance artist
My long time partner in Horonkäristys duo
“We listen to each other. The work requires both of us, feeding each other and laying bricks together. And what’s so nice about working with Maire is that we usually get excited about something that at least I’ve never done before.”
ISABEL LEÓN,
performance artist
My partner in an upcoming video project about resistance and surrender
Collaborating with Maire has been both easy and challenging because she is a very assertive person. I love that she does and says what she really wants, which makes it easier for me to listen and express myself as well. Additionally, I think we have a very similar way of understanding the artistic process, where people are more important than the work itself. I’m looking forward to working together again.
MARJUKKA PARKKINEN, researcher
My partner in the current survivalism themed piece “Chance favors the prepared mind”
“Working with Maire opened new points of view to something we both are interested in. Different ways of knowing and doing helped us understand the subject much better.”
Let’s work together!
I’m a playful soul who loves to work with other people. For me collaborations are about real sharing, exchange and a joined, positive impact on all parties and the outcome. Of course I can also just “get the job done” (for the right amount of money) but it’s hugely more gratifying to build meaningful encounters and a purpose for collaborations. I’m interested in virtually everything, I get easily excited and I love to learn from my fellow humans!
I aim for a feministic and low carbon practise where I try to work in the most sustainable way that I can. I think about sustainability towards the planet and my surroundings but also in relation to working conditions and the longevity of life as an artist.
If all this sounds good to you, I’d love to hear your idea! Just let me know what we could do together -> mairekoo(a)iki.fi
