Bio
Arttu Palmio studied contemporary dance in Finland, and received an MFA at the Geneva School of Art and Design in 2018. Mostly working in collaboration, Palmio uses dance, moving image, text, speech, and sound in order to create performances and choreographic situations in which something might or might not happen. At the moment they are curious about formats such as 1-on-1 performances and other non-conventional performative settings that blur the line between fiction and reality offering a space of humor, intimacy, and togetherness. Palmio received Werkstipendium from the City of Zurich in 2021 and danceWEB scholarship in 2013. Recent collaborators include Anna Maria Nowak/der Betrieb Wien, Karin Pauer, Liquid Loft / Chris Haring, Nathalie Rebholz, and Galaxia Wang. Performance and video works have been shown at OnCurating Project Space, Zürich; Helmhaus, Zürich; Centre d’art contemporain Genève; LIYH, Geneva; and imagetanz/brut Wien.
