Pia Akmeeli Hills recording on stump

Currently a recipient of a three-year KONE work grant, Pia Lindman has explored artistic research and practice working with performance art, healing-as-art, installation, microbes, architecture, painting, and sculpture. In “Nose, Ears, Eyes“ (Sao Paulo Biennale, 2016) Lindman gave treatments to members of the audience and made paintings based on the visions she saw during these treatments. As Professor of Environmental Art at Aalto University from 2013 to 2018, Lindman initiated the art/science network Chill Survive focusing on the Arctic, summoned the interdisciplinary think tank The Trouble Group, and organised the first global Radical Relevances Conference (2018). Since 2017, Lindman is doctoral candidate at the program of Nordic Cultures and Environmental Politics at Lapland University researching her concept of the subsensorial. A result of many years of investigation into the body and its place within the cultural space, Lindman's work now moves beyond the human body proper to multiple realms of organic and inorganic life. Next exhibition coming up in April 2021 in Sinne Gallery, Helsinki, Finland. Upcoming residencies with Stiftelsen Maaretta Jaukkuri Foundation on Lofoten and with Slow Thinking Laboratory at Saari Manor (KONE Foundation). Recent exhibitions and artistic events include residency and exhibition with Bioart Society at SOLU space, Helsinki, participation in Not Without My Ghosts, exhibition with Hayward Gallery Tours, UK, and several contributions to the event series and catalog Rehearsing Hospitalities, Frame fund for Contemporary Art, Finland.
