Daniel Peltz is an artist, researcher and Professor of Time and Space Arts with a specialization in Site and Situation Specific Practices at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts. He is also the co-founder of the long-term, place-based artistic research project Rejmyre Art Lab’s Center for Peripheral Studies and its pedagogic arm, the Nordic/Baltic Studio for Continued Engagement, in Rejmyre, Sweden. Peltz’ artworks explore complex social systems, attempting to provoke ruptures in the socio/cultural fabric through which new ways of being may emerge and be considered. To accomplish these goals, he uses a range of intervention, ethnographic and performance strategies.
