Visa Suonpää and Patrik Söderlund founded IC-98 to broaden the field of academic writing. IC-98 wishes to bring the historical into the present, being political but not aggressive. The Finnish Institute in London met with the artists a couple of hours before the official release of their first London exhibition to discuss how this duo, so fascinated by times gone by, looks at the future.
IC-98’s architectural animation “A View From The Other Side” (2011), as well as other works by the artists, is on display at Beaconsfield in London until April 14th.
Sofi Oksanen’s (b. 1977, Jyväskylä, Finland) thought-provoking debut novel, Stalin’s Cows (Stalinin lehmät, 2003), was an immediate success and she soon followed up with the publication of her second novel, Baby Jane, in 2005. Oksanen's first original play Purge was performed at the Finnish National Theatre in 2007 to rave reviews. She later transformed the play into a novel (Puhdistus, 2008), which became an international bestseller and her major breakthrough.
Borealis Theatre is currently performing Sofi Oksanen’s Purge in London's Arcola Theatre, from 22 February until 24 March.
