day two in Seoul. Gallery opening, conferences and meetings and a lot of eating.

first night in Seoul, we got a Hostel house all to ourselves - 14 people from Finland and Canada - this place is going to be turned upside down

GOT A FLIGHT. SNIPED. SO LUCKY. HERE WE GO

what the fuck is in this pill 

yesterday I helped Jan make some Karjalanpiirakka for the first time ever (for the both of us), and we invited some friends to screen three Aki Kaurismaki films as well as have Finnish vodka - it couldn’t have gotten more Finnish (maybe if someone thought of suicide - too soon?). The pies were fantastic.

we also found Luce a bike for the summer, o ya

my baby arrived today. The 100 hours spent on this thing was worth it.

just returned to Toronto with a melancholic feeling, because of the things that are happening at TAMK at the moment. 

Shot some film, bought some secondhand shoes, a couple of cool Finnish made pipes, and got this video artists’ DVD of his previous work for free at a gallery (who coincidentally went on exchange at ocad 9 years ago). My best haul is Himona, the thesis exhibition catalogue from TAMK Fine Art 2012-2013. Featured in this catalogue are a few of my really good friends and colleagues and I’m so fucking stoked that I got to see their exhibition and nabbed this memento as well. 

my stay in Tampere was great. I can’t wait to see these guys again in two weeks when we’re exhibiting in Seoul.

IT’S A BACKPACK, COME ON

: URGENT - SUPPORT AND SIGNATURES NEEDED TO SAVE ART EDUCATION IN CITY OF TAMPERE ↘

To all whom this reaches,

OCAD University and the Fine Art program at TAMK Institute in Western Finland have been working together in direct partnership for three years. Previous to that, they also have been involved with the exchange program with our school.

The past three years of this…

I’m asking all of my followers/friends/colleagues to reblog and post this and fucking send it to everyone they know because I still can’t believe that this shit is happening and I’m currently still in Finland right in the middle of this crossfire and THIS SHIT IS URGENT.


If you care about art, art education and community you’ll understand why this is so important to not only me but to my friends and colleagues who work for the Fine Art program. There’s no reason for this to happen, and we have to help reverse this stupid decision.

The past week on April 22-29th, the INTAC members from OCAD University in Toronto, Canada were given the opportunity to go to the city of Tampere in Western Finland to absorb the culture for a week and exhibit the final collaborative at Galeria Emil. They arrive and set up the exhibition for Friday, April 27th.

Galeria Emil in the center of the city of Tampere - our exhibition is there until May 17th.
