In April, 2011 Mark was a visiting Artist at the AALTO UNIVERSITY, TAIK SCHOOL of ART AND DESIGN in Helsinki, Finland. Over a three week residency, Mark lectured, conducted studio visits and built LIITOKALA, at Taik School of Art with the assistance of its MFA Fine Art students.
Mark was chosen for this residency not only because of his accomplishments as an artist, but also for his skills as a craftsman.
Spacial thanks to Leah Stuhltrager and the team at Dam Stuhltrager, Berlin for making this happen.
