Jani Leinonen founds School of Disobedience and launches an Activist Idea Competition to change the world through protest.
The School of Disobedience opens its doors 4th of September in the Finnish National Gallery but is already looking for great ideas for protest on its website. School of Disobedience offers its students revolutionary ideas and concrete tools for making the world better. The School of Disobedience asks what kind of a world we want in stead of the present one, and teaches how to fight for the important causes.

Jiri Geller & Kaos

Jiri Geller and Kaos
Zetterberg Gallery
June 14 – July 26, 2015
Jiri Geller and graffiti artist Kaos Bang! combines danger, beauty and lightness in an explosive exhibition, where the contradiction between Geller’s perfectly manufactured and polished surfaces and Kaos rougher expression creates a flaming cocktail.
Zetterberg Gallery is pleased to announce that Jani Leinonen‘s painting Elovena and Marx has been acquired by the Serlachius Museums to the Gösta Serlachius Fine Art Foundation’s permanent collection.
Gösta Serlachius Fine Art Foundation’s collection is one of the most impressive private art collections in Scandinavia.
Jani Leinonen was interviewed by BBC News about his unusual tactics to encourage people to vote in the Finnish parliamentary elections.

Zetterberg Gallery is pleased to announce that Jani Leinonen’s One Day (present) sculpture has been acquired to the Saastamoinen Foundation Art Collection.
The Saastamoinen Foundation Art Collection was added to EMMA’s (Espoo Museum of Modern Art) collections as a deposit in conjunction with the founding of the museum. The collection has grown to its current size, with more than 2,500 works, from a series of works that the Saastamoinen industrialist family acquired originally for their private collection. EMMA has permanently on display approximately 500 works from the Saastamoinen Foundation Art Collection.
