Great great great review about my Last Machos exhibition. And no worries if you are not good at reading this in Swedish. You still have time to visit the exhibition by yourselves and make your own review about it. The exhibition is open until November 27th at Galleria Vanha Kappalaisentalo.

OPENING WAS A BLAST

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!

FINNISH TEENS + HELSINGIN SANOMAT

Good news! Finnish Teens exhibition hasn’t even started yet and Helsingin Sanomat (the largest subscription newspaper in Nordic countries) already made a half page article of it in their Sunday section. So if you missed the yesterday’s news you might find a treasure in your closest paper recycle bin.

Oh boy! You do not want to get your hands dirty? Yes I knew it, and you are not too enthusiasted to dig your neighbours trashes either. That’s why I scanned the arcticle. You can find it HERE.

All the best, Peki

 

BOB THE BUILDER… OR SOMETHING

 

 

Hi Folks! After more than two years of photo shootings, I’m finally here in the Finnish Museum of Photography. It has been a long but enjoyable road and I’m definitely happy that I started it. I want to thank all the teenagers I have had the chance to meet and photograph during this photo project.

And now after two days of hard work most of the photos are already up on the walls and I feel like Bob the Builder.

But to be honest I have mostly only been Peki the Photographer. The real Bob the Builder has been Heikki from from the museum’s staff, who has helped me a lot with the practical details with constructing the exhibition. Today he even surprised me with this fancy name sign on the wall. Personally I was thinking about something a bit smaller but what the heck. If I get this big sign for my exhibition from museum – a big one it will be. And the good thing with this is, that if some of you will not like the pictures in my exhibition I bet you will at least love the huge sign. Heh hee!

Still two days to go and millions of details to fix, but I promise you that everything will be ready by Tuesday’s opening.

Cheers, Peki

AUTUMN IS HERE…

 

Autumn is here… YEP, but don’t be too horrified because the good news is that there is only one week left before the Finnish Teens’ exhibition opening. It’s going to be the BIG one, so if you are alive and in Helsinki – do not miss the opening at Finnish Museum of Photography, September 13th at 5–7 pm. Exhibition will be open until October 16th. For more information, please check: http://www.valokuvataiteenmuseo.fi/en

And just to make sure, our life here in the palace of Korea is not just art: We are happy to tell you that Peki has once again worked on plenty of great commercial projects as well. Besides that we can tell you that he has got flattering feedback from both his old and new clients. We will give you more information on these projects in the near future on Korea’s Blog but at this point we will leave you with the quote from one of our new clients. Like many of Korea’s friends the photo editor of the legendary German Stern Magazin seems to appreciate both the style and quality of Peki’s work. “Excellent picture, congratulation! — I’m really satisfied with your work.”

Jepulis, autumn is here but that’s not such a bad thing after all.

PEKI IN PRESS

Helsingin Sanomat, the largest subscription newspaper in Nordic countries has a weekly magazine called Nyt-liite. In today’s issue Peki’s photos of Finnish Teens has been pointed out as a gem of MoA 2011 exhibition. We totally agree and want to remind you that if you did miss this exhibition, make sure to see his forthcoming exhibition in the Finnish Museum of Photography in September.

Arttu Magazine made an interview with Peki. You can find the scanned version of that one HERE. Text is written in Finnish by Tommi Laitio, including an English resume.

PEKI GOES MoA 2011

We are happy to tell you that a selection of Peki’s new Finnish Teens photo series is part of MoA 2011 exhibition (more information HERE). The whole series will be exhibited in September at the Finnish Museum of Photography.

Oh, and by the way Peki just graduated from Aalto University’s Department of Photography. So please remember that from now on whenever you speak/write to him you should always call him Master Sinikoski or Magister Artium Sinikoski. And don’t you never ever forget that. The only exception is taken from Master Yoda.
