URB 12 – Urbaani Festivaali/Urban Art Festival

Audio recording of the UK launch of performance art duo Kainulainen & Latva’s book Globus Hystericus, published in 2025 by Finnish publishing house Taide.

Finnish performance art duo Kainulainen & Latva have been making extraordinary performances in both their native Finland and internationally since 2014. Informed by narratives of personal trauma, twinned with accounts of Finnish folklore, they have produced a prolific and unique body of work from their profoundly intimate and collaborative dynamic.

Performance artists Katri Kainulainen and Maximilian Latva gave a presentation with video clips and slides of their practice, followed by a Q&A session with special guests Dominic Johnson and Martin O’Brien. Key themes explored in the neurodivergent duo’s work include trauma, power relations and gender issues.

The event was hosted at LADA on Wednesday 22 July, 2026.

The exhibition presented in this catalogue was inspired by an unexpected incident. A tree fell on the Finnish Aalto Pavilion in 2011 and the exhibition had to be closed. What was originally an inconvenience became a source of inspiration for three curators from Finland. Falling Trees by Mika Elo, Marko Karo and Harri Laakso revisits this disruption of an art event and creates an opportunity to see art and nature differently.
