Endless Summer – AKI-PEKKA SINIKOSKI

LAST MACHOS GOES HELSINKI

May 28, 2017 May 30, 2017

Last Machos goes Helsinki! This is a pre-warning for you! When all the other artists and galleries will have their summer holiday here in Finland I will take over Helsinki together with my Last Machos. And hey, you are more than welcome to Creat Space gallery (Albertinkatu 12, Helsinki) run by Creat. You will get more details soon but the main information you need to write down in your calendar already now is the opening on 20 July, 2017. It will be hot, it will be epic, it will be beautiful, it will be something you do not want to miss.

XOXO, Peki

PS. It really doesn’t matter if you have teeth or not but you should smile ’cause you are invited!

BYE BYE ENDLESS SUMMER

October 15, 2015 October 25, 2015

Bye bye Endless Summer! My exhibition in Ii is now wrapped and gone but memories and photos will stay. I have got so much positive feedback from this exhibition that it really gives me a boost for my forthcoming projects.

When I was in Ii I was stopped on the street by locals who were inspired by my photos. The most absurd situation was when I went for the first time to Jäppisen Baari (local bar) after the opening and before I had even entered the place one wonderful man shouted “PEKIIIIII!” and wanted to shake my hand and thank me for the exhibition.
And even now when I’m back in Helsinki, some people have called me just to talk with me about the pictures. Several people has also told me that they have never seen an exhibition like this in Ii, as all the time they have walked next to the exhibition area there has been people looking at my pictures. So probably I don’t exaggerate if I say the exhibition was a success also from the perspective of community art 😀
For my part I would like to say THANK YOU!!!

It was truly a pleasure!

XOXO, Peki

P.S. These photos are taken in Ii between 2am 4am during one night I tried to work with Photoshop. But probably you can imagine why I couldn’t stay inside staring at the computer all night 😉

ENDLESS SUMMER BOOK

October 7, 2015 February 16, 2017

Selfie + my just released book. –O’boy that is definitely a true 2 in 1 wonder!!!
During the last summer I worked as a guest artist at KulttuuriKauppila to arrange my Endless Summer exhibition in Ii. Now KulttuuriKauppila has published a small photo book (68 pages) of my works. I have planned to take a beautiful photo of the book to promote it here but the last weeks I have been too busy with this triangle of photo shootings, meetings, and a place called Photoshop. So, the beautiful, glossy photos of my book are coming later; first we go with this 2 in 1 snapshot wonder.
Here is a deal for you. No matter if you work with events, magazines, zines, museums, galleries, art blogs or other “culture things” I want to give you a copy of this small book of mine. Limited stock. First come, first served. So do yourself a favour and let your fingers guide you to the address sinikoski.com. Click “Contact” and drop me a message why you should get a free copy of this book and I will get back to you. smile emoticon

Peace & Love, Peki

SANNA KOIVISTO

October 5, 2015 February 16, 2017

When I was working in Ii I was blessed to meet Sanna Koivisto. She is not only one of the kindest persons out there, but also a great artist who has done more public monuments in Finland than any other artist. So probably you can imagine what it means for me when she goes and writes me this one!!!!

OPENING WAS A BLAST

July 18, 2015 July 21, 2015

Oh dear, sano John Deere. It’s been hectic up here. First of all: yesterday’s opening for Endless Summer was a blast! For me it felt like half of the village was there. I’m super happy with the result and pretty damn proud of the exhibition. I’ll write you more about that later.

Yesteday, before my own exhibition opening I had also a great workshop for 15 photographers from all over Finland and today I’m working as judge for Valto Pernu Photo Maraton. On their Facebook page you can find my latest interview made by YLE Oulu.

So yes, it has been an insanely busy week but LIFE IS GOOD!

I have never laughed as much during an exhibition construction as today. Thanks to Kossu, Jaska and Heikki this day has been a pure joy for me. 16 photos are already up and ready; still 17 photos to go before the opening on Friday. But we will make it.
