A solo show of me & Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, premiering new works, opens 17th October 2015 at Art Hall Helsinki. The exhibition deals with the dynamics behind forming and expressing an opinion – and about statistics and the question of representation. We visited 100 people who form a cross section of Finnish population, and asked about topics which usually divide opinions strongly – such as nuclear power, immigration, euthanasia and wolfs and margarine. The exhibition is called 101 For All. Welcome!

JOKAklubi
JOKAklubi (since 2009) is a group of three Finnish visual artists and performers who prefer clubs and intimate venues to gallery spaces. Their wild and generous events bring together local audiences and fellow artists. Their stage is always open to guest performers, and each evening takes shape through the people, the place and the occasion.
JOKAklubi consists of Niina Lehtonen Braun, Mirka Raito and Tellervo Kalleinen, who have been performing together since the late 1990s, including as the group Voukkoset (1999–2001).
