Terike Haapoja
New Media Artist

Terike Haapoja is a visual artist based in New York. With a specific focus in encounters with nature, death and other species, Haapoja’s work investigates the existential and political boundaries of our world. Haapoja’s work raises questions about how different structures of exclusion and discrimination function as foundations for identity and culture. The notion of a world that is deeply rooted in the physicality and co-existence of beings and their multiple lifeworlds is at the core of Haapoja’s politically and ethically driven practice.

Haapoja approaches the previously mentioned themes by building up large projects, often realized in the forms of installations, related publications and participatory acts. Recent projects include Closed Circuit – Open Duration (2008/2013) which focuses on questions of mortality, co-existence and the relationship between humans and nature while adopting scientific technologies, The Party of Others -project (2011-ongoing), which looks at the status of other species and other groups excluded from the law by appropriating the form of a political party, and History of Others (2012-ongoing) with author Laura Gustafsson. Haapoja’s work has been exhibited widely in solo and group shows  internationally.

Haapoja is the co-editor of Altern Ecologies – Emergent Perspectives on the Ecological Threshold in the 55. Venice Biennale (ed. Terike Haapoja, Taru Elfving), The Helsinki Effect (ed. Andrew Ross, Michael Sorkin and Terike Haapoja), and Field_Notes: From Landscape to Laboratory (ed. Erich Berger, Laura Beloff, Terike Haapoja). She was the editor of mustekala.info issue ”After the Animal” (2013), co-editor of special issue ”Animal” of Esitys -journal (2013).

Haapoja represented Finland in the Venice Biennale in 2013 with a solo show in the Nordic Pavilion. Her work has been awarded with ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art (2016), Dukaatti prize (2008), Säde -prize (2009) and Finland’s Festival’s artist of the year -honorary mention in 2007. Haapoja was nominated for Ars Fennica – prize candidate in 2011. History of Others was awarded with Finnish State media art award in 2016 and Kiila-prize in 2013.

Terike Haapoja is a founding member of Checkpoint Helsinki, a Helsinki based art organisation now named PUBLICS, a member of the board of Kone foundation (www.kone.fi), and was the chair of board of  Oranssi ry 2004-2007 (www.oranssi.net). She is an adjunct professor at Parsons Fine Art, New York.
