ABOUT
Suvi Tuominen (b.1989) is an artist, archaeologist and performer based in Helsinki, Finland. Her works operate in the extended fields of choreography, physical dramaturgy, dance, performance, installation and live art. She works mostly in interdisciplinary and collaborative projects. For Suvi, it is artistically important to ask what are the emergent relationships between various artistic methodologies, theoretical readings and structures of production. In this way, she wants to challenge the notion that these fields in artistic works would somehow be separate from one another.
Suvi approaches her artistic processes with a messy, chaotic and playful attitude that might lead to unexpected trajectories and artistic outcomes. She likes to shake, hesitate, wonder and create gestural works. Her recent interests have circulated around concepts such as time, withdrawnness, intimacy, orientation and aliens.
Suvi is currently finalising her studies in live art and performance at the University of the Arts Helsinki. Part of her studies is a three month exchange in choreography at the Danish National School of Performing Arts. Suvi has also a master's degree from archaeology and a bachelor's degree containing studies in archaeology and anthropology. As a dancer she has a vocational degree in contemporary dance, and an extensive professional practice in dance styles emergent from the MENA contexts.
