finnfemfel

finnfemfel is a joint platform for the individual and invited members for collective projects. Ideas are developed, organised and realised through collaboration; thus the results cannot be seen as individual expressions. The projects are either simulations or are based on aspects of narrative, but they still contain grotesque, fictive, documentary and humorous/comic elements. Differences that result from the members’ own artistic praxis and geographical distribution are positive factors that enrich our projects.

finnfemfel was founded in 1998 by Albert Braun, Marcus Lerviks, Oskar Lindström and Simo Brotherus (who left the group in 2002).
