Sirpa Jokinen & Pekka Nevalainen

Together we have made sound works and sound performances. We have been interested in speech, singing, sounds produced by objects and particularly sound of the environment. We do not consider our works as music. Sound performance Sounds of Dripping Water (2008, 2009) was homage to the Fluxus artist George Brecht.

The work in the LaruArt exhibition this summer will be our first installation made together.
