Apocalypse Now

The exhibition Apocalypse Now is a collaboration between Vasaa resident Marcus Lerviks (b. 1969) and the German artist Florian Tuercke (b. 1977), who both work with the relationship between humans and nature.

Through sound and video-based works and large-scale installations, the exhibition explores humanity’s constant quest to control and manipulate the world around us. The exhibition will showcase Lervik’s latest site-specific video and sound installations, which embrace the visitor in a sensory experience of untouched nature. Tuercke activates the space with multidimensional sound installations which reflect human impact on the environment.

Marcus Lerviks often works with video, installation, light and sound, and his art revolves around themes such as time, nature and technology. In his works, Lerviks combines visually strong environments with social commentary, often focusing on human impact on the environment. He has exhibited both in Finland and internationally, with works shown at, among others, Kiasma in Helsinki and international biennials. The entirety shown in the exhibition was planned by Lerviks specifically for the Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art.

Florian Tuercke lives and works both in Poland and Germany. His works move on the border between sculpture, performance and sound art, often with a focus on public space. Many of Tuercke’s works are interactive in one way or another – either during the creative process or in the exhibition environment. Through his installations, he processes sound environments and how they affect our experience of public space. His technological, interactive and analytical works have been exhibited around the world, including in Finland, Poland and the USA.
