EXHIBITION CATALOGUE.

As a queer artist, Korkeila has created works that, for example, give shape to sexual identities, the exploration of the Christian Orthodox faith, and the emancipation of the body away from common beauty ideals. As part of our Visiting Art/ist programme, Jukka Korkeila is the guest artist for 2022 at the Finnish Institute. We are commemorating the exhibition with the help of a richly-illustrated catalogue, which also provides a thorough textual introduction (in German and English) to the work of one of Finland’s foremost painters.
