Biografia
Heidi Kilpeläinen (HK119) lives and works in London, UK. She graduated from Central St Martins 2004 (M.A.) and has since explored crossovers between visual art and music merging their boundaries in 'total works of art' and creating combinations of video, installation art and performance. Her work is equally inspired by the contemporary world and its technological fascinations, as well as the ancient, mythological forms that run through collective memory. She produces works of aesthetic interest with a critical eye on our social environment, reflecting on our human condition within it. Kilpeläinen has widely exhibited and performed in galleries and prestigious institutions, with a rich record of participations in shows and festivals, such as Los Angeles Center for Digital Arts (Los Angeles 2016) Camden Arts Centre (London 2016) Beaconsfield Gallery, London (2016) Performa 07 (New York 2007) Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki (2005) New Contemporaries 2004 (UK). She has also released 3 albums under the title HK119 (One Little Indian Records, 2005 - 2013) and has performed the material internationally in music venues, galleries and museums such as Tate Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum, Institute of Contemporary Art, Casa da Musica and Kiasma.
