Hi!
You just entered into my portfolio. I’m visual artist, performer and doctoral researcher Timo Tähkänen based in Helsinki, Finland. My practice moves across drawing, performance, installation, and socially engaged art. I am interested in exhibitions as spatial and relational compositions rather than collections of individual works. Listening—especially to the queer body and its affects—forms a central method in both my artistic practice and my autobiographical research. Through this approach, I explore how personal experience, imagination, and the surrounding world continuously shape one another. My artistic research is supported by the Kone Foundation.

My artistic practice is driven by questions about the listening and the social connections as a material of visual art.
As a medium, the body becomes a tool for examining myself and my subject matter. I think of my performances as drag.
Maimu Brushwood is my poem and story writing drag alter ego. She´s a living room activist and she wants to make the world a better place. Ja sama Suomeksi!
