MY FUNNY JOSEF KA
February 14th, from 6-9pm
This exclusive evening of art features a selection of never before shown “still performance” photographs of Josef Ka by American visual artist Mark Maher and Austrian photographer Walter Ulreich.
The event will also showcase Josef Ka’s brand-new album, produced in collaboration with DJ Ahlada.
JK will also present new collaborations with various musicians from around the world: Aleksandr Aleksandrov // Latvia
International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka blends richly varied influences – everything from Butoh dance to cinematic theory – with her decades of nomadic world travel to create bold, highly personal site-specific art.
Josef Ka’s themes range from investigating the place of the human body in contemporary reality to exploring the inner body as a representative system of our human and post human kind.
Her artistic practice often actively invites the audience inside a sort of private reverie, making it is a deeply participatory one; she actively engages with both her audiences and with a wide diversity of other experimental artists.
In addition to her own work, Josef Ka curates a regular series of events and exhibitions at her Helsinki underground space – Sauna Gallery – and teaches classes on the theory and practice of performance art. She is also the inventor of the WORST THEATRE and her yogic training system, KA-YOGA.
