  about With several techniques Juan Kasari mixes fictives and facts, Several of the works can be seen as an incorrection and an interruption of the local, national and global phenomenons. He works with different mediums: Mixed media paintings, photography, video, sound, installation, performance. He have had several exhibitions and live performances all over Europe. Juan Kasari finds also new ways to use modern clichés in his work. Usually there is a certain voyeuristic, humorous and political aspects in his works. Finnish Juan Kasarin taide on moni-ilmeistä ja hänen taiteen tekemisensä tekniset lähtökohdat ovat monimuotoisia. Töissään hän käyttää hyväkseen niin perinteisempiä taiteen tekemisen muotoja kuten maalausta ja valokuvausta yhdistäen niihin uutta mediateknologiaa. Hänen työskentelytapa on tutkimuksenomainen ja hän on käsitellyt monia yhteiskunnallia ilmiöitä puolidokumentaarisella tavalla sekoittaen faktaa ja fiktiota mielenkiintoisella tavalla. Juan Kasari on myös aktiivinen toimija taideyhteisössä, hän on muun muassa perustanut Helsingissä toimivan nykytaideyhdistyksen ja gallerian 00130Galleryn ja toimii sen puheenjohtajana ja gallerian käytännön linjauksista vastaavana Artist Statement In my art work I deal with humanity and differencies between social classes at a large scale. I’m especially considering the position and the roles of poor people today’s society and the global phenomenon on the level of individuals. I’m interested in showing the ‘other side’ of the humanity and reality in today’s world where as people deal with the different problems and hard situations in their life such as growing poverty of individuals, inequality, substance addictions, violence, matters and use of power and communication. The dialogue of my latest works is happening between the figures; such as rich upper class (gated community )people and their fiers and the poor minimun weight people I have closely chosen the images from different media that are the basis of my works. My main mediums are video, mixed media paintings with acrylic, ink, water colourpaint and I also use installation and photography as a part of my art work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- curriculum vitae updated 6.9.2009 Home |
