Residency artists and researchers Performing arts, performance art Aune Kallinen Theatre director and performance artist From 2001-2004 I worked with Minna Harjuniemi at the Student’s Theatre in Helsinki. Since then I’ve been working as a freelancer, with performances in the Finnish National Gallery, the Kiasma Theatre at the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Helsinki Artist Theatre, to name a few. My works crosses the boundaries between many artistic disciplines, and are often concerned with the unfamiliar, and with things we don’t understand or even notice. In recent times I’ve been epecially interested in the political side of the performing arts. During my Saari Residence stay I’ll work on the third part of my social trilogy, provisionally titled ”KANSALLINEN HANKE – NATIONAL PROJECT” .
