MARKO VUOKOLA
9.8 - 2.9.2007
Marko Vuokola (born 1967) is a meditative artist, particularly interested in issues of seeing, perception, knowledge and time. He addresses and studies them with works that may technically be photographs, videos, objects or even watercolour paintings. He chooses a method that can be applied to investigating the question at hand and follows it uncompromisingly. The final work is filtered out of the acquired material through elimination and selection. Underlying each work is thus a multi-stage process of creating ideas, planning and making, and though aesthetic objectives do not predominate in the planning stage - Vuokola does not seek to made any specific kind of image - the completed works also respond to the major issue of beauty.
Marko Vuokola may be working at Korppoo, or in Texas, or in the Audi salesrooms in Helsinki's Herttoniemi. The interesting issues are present everywhere.
Since 1989, Marko Vuokola has participated in dozens of exhibitions in Finland, the Nordic countries and elsewhere in Europe, the United States and Australia. He held his first solo exhibition at Galerie Anhava 1992.
