On Wednesday, July 8, at 14:00, Tuomas A. Laitinen will open his studio at VAA Nida Art Colony.
Tuomas A. Laitinen is an artist working with moving images, sound, and glass. He composes installations and situations that inquire into the interconnectedness of language and the body across continuously morphing environments. Recent works employ glass as both a vessel and a threshold, a material that mediates proximity, containment, and transmission, while ultrasonic frequencies are emitted in space as spectral agents operating at the limits of perception. Drawing from heterogeneous mythologies and embodied forms of knowledge, Laitinen creates hallucinatory registers in which perception is continually displaced and reorganized through nonlinear experience.
Working also as a composer for TAL, Laitinen released his debut album Sapiduz (Öm Sound / Svart Records) in 2022. The record assembles traces of early music, mutated vocals, and granular electronic composition into a densely layered sonic tapestry, extending concerns that recur throughout his installation practice.
Laitinen’s works have recently been shown in the 21st Biennale of Sydney, Avesta Art 2026, 7th Bucharest Biennale, Screen City Biennale 2019 (Stavanger), SADE LA (Los Angeles), Amado Art Space (Seoul), A Tale of a Tub (Rotterdam), Art Sonje Center (Seoul), Helsinki Contemporary, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, MOCA Shanghai & Cinemateca do MAM Rio de Janeiro.
Upcoming solo exhibitions: Pioneer Works, New York, 2026, Radius Center for Art and Ecology, Delft, 2027. Group Exhibitions: “Earthly Bodies Born of Love”, Avesta Art 2026, Sweden, Beall Center for Art + Technology, University of California Irvine, 2026
