On Friday 8 May at 17:00 hrs, the young Finnish filmmaker Joel Autio presents his Artist Talk Event at Het Wilde Weten. In conversation with Yasmijn Jarram, arriving curator of Garage Rotterdam, he elaborates on his work, ambitions, and the Finnish art scene. Finland has a strong tradition of internationally renowned film and video artists such as Erkka Nissinen (now exhibiting at Hallen Haarlem) Pilvi Takkala, Aki Kaurismaki, and Eija-Liisa Ahtila. How’s does Autio fit into this lineage?
