Leinonen & Sakkinen have finally tackled the issue of Capitalist Realism. They have entered into the business of relentless freedom and the FREE WORLD is their trademark. They postulate the land of milk and honey, breakfast cereal and burgers (cola included) and take the stage as a Finnish version of Bouvard & Pécuchet. Both psych each other up, spur each other on and at times even scold one another with a good box on the ear. With encyclopaedic industriousness, they paint, stick, construct, readjust and illuminate the world. They envelop it incessantly with their capital-informed message that the history of colonialism has just begun. After all, capitalism no longer means war but complacency. With liberal libertinism, they entirely exploit toy advertisements, the war against terrorism (for, there’s no business like show business and no damage like collateral damage), cornflakes, ice cream, candy bars and sexual services, as well as popular icons such as Ronald McDonald or the Elovena farmer girl. Anyone and everything is employed in the joint venture for the collective good, especially because, in the end, one is forced to accept the fact that Human Rights damage our Economy and sweatshops are cosy and warm. Whether their work should be described as Agit Pop, or Franchise Painting is of little importance. With no alternative in sight, Jani Leinonen & Riiko Sakkinen delve into the depths of the market economy’s pictorial world and relentlessly, though always according to the rules, drive it toward its uttermost limits.
