The solo exhibition by Finnish artist Laura Puska is built around the artist’s book Two Do Too - 101 short stories(2020). The book collects together 101 ways to handle a dialogue and analyses a transformation of form and meaning. The book is compiled using methods of participation. In the exhibition, the book is opened up and extended through mediums of photography, moving image and performance. The audience is invited to listen to a reading performance taking place during the exhibition.
Laura Puska (b. 1986) is a Finnish visual artist with a performance based practice. She works with a variety of mediums from video to sculptures, from durational performances to participatory projects. She considers objects as potentially caring companions and performed gestures as a tool to direct attention. Through methods of exchange, accumulation and repetition, Puska is interested in routines, intimacy and how a human being navigates in a society. She has performed and exhibited, i.a. in Kanal - Centre Pompidou in Brussels, Corning Museum of Glass in New York, Looiersgracht 60 in Amsterdam, and CEAC - Chinese European Art Centre in Xiamen. Originally educated as a glass blower, Puska has studied fine arts and visual cultures in Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, Luca School of Arts in Ghent and Aalto University in Helsinki. Puska is currently living and working in Ghent.
