JUHA PEKKA MATIAS LAAKKONEN

° 1982

Born in Finland, lives in Helsinki and Skövde (Finland).

Juha Pekka Matias Laakkonen’s art aims at a zero-degree of visibility, where a spiritual reward might be expected. Some of his works are meticulous exercises that take place with no one else present and can therefore only be validated by their author. He may choose to let us know about them or he may tell us nothing. Other works yield carefully crafted objects as traces of his action. (AK)

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
