I graduated as a Doctor of Fine Arts in 2012 from the University of the Arts, where I worked as a postdoctoral-researcher and university lecturer 2015\u201320. In addition to this, I have been involved in various collaborative projects, positions of trust, as a speaker, edited &amp; wrote publications and curated exhibitions in Finland and abroad. Making art is conceptual and exploratory for me. Drawing has been a natural medium for me throughout my artistic career. In recent years, I have also worked with speculative design, especially in connection with my postdoc research and with the currently ongoing &#8220;Body and Iron&#8221; -exhibition trilogy. The trilogy examines masculinity, death, rituals, our relationship with nature and machines, as well as environments and contexts considered masculine. Forum Box&#8217;s exhibition in 2024 dealt closely with the themes of this trilogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CV-Petri-Kaverma-2024_net.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CV FI<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cv-kaverma-2024-Engl.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CV ENGL<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Kaverma_portfolio.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PDF-WORKS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">p.kaverma[at]gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">@PKaverma<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/petri.kaverma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/badge.facebook.com\/badge\/100006549943413.11169.1513021482.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visual artist, researcher (DFA) &#8220;Only when art is fragmented, discontinuous and incomplete can we know about that vacant eternity that excludes objects and determines meanings&#8221; &#8220;What the artist seeks is coherence and order &#8211; not truth, correct statements, or proofs.He seeks the fiction that reality will sooner or later imitate.&#8221;Robert Smithson, A Museum of Language [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P5pebK-g9","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1001"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1001"}],"version-history":[{"count":53,"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1350,"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1001\/revisions\/1350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kaverma.fi\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
