A SPECIAL BUS from Tartu will go to the opening. The fifth exhibition by the Tartu Artists’ Union at the Valga Museum offers a short summary of the history of Estonian art using paintings from 19th century Biedermeier to 21st century installative painting. The participating authors and artworks mark significant and even radical points in Estonian art history. With many of them, however, the artistic value was questioned at the time of creation.

On Wednesday, January 24 at 18.00 Mirjam Hinn’s solo exhibition From the Depths of the Infinite Ocean opens in Hobusepea gallery. The exhibition will remain open until February 19, 2024.  In the exhibition From the Depths of the Infinite Ocean Hinn employs an abstract and dynamic painting language to engage with the contemporary human experience in today’s society. The artist directs one’s gaze into the private and delicate inner world of a human soul, commonly invisible to the onlooker. The exhibition is a continuation to her previous shows High Voltage in Tartu Art Museum and Floating Perspectives in Nuvole Arte gallery in Italy.

Liisa Kruusmägi will open her solo exhibition Memories from Altai Krai at Tallinn City Gallery on 25 January at 6 pm. The exhibition unravels the story of the artist's ancestors who journeyed to the vast Siberian region in search of a better life. The exhibition is curated by Anneliis Lepp.  

On Thursday, January 18th, Maryliis Teinfeldt-Grins will open her solo exhibition, titled “Who remembers last, who remembers better?” at Tütar gallery. The focal point of the exhibition is a five-meter-long rag rug created as a collaborative effort by Kadrina community, telling the story of a vanished village and hill in Lääne-Virumaa in 1977. Koplimetsa is a historical village in Kadrina parish, established in 1877. The village disappeared in 1977 when farms were replaced by collectives, and people were resettled from farm buildings to apartments. Concurrently, changes were made to the local landscape, most notably the removal of a four-kilometer-long esker wall, Niinemäe. The gravel obtained from the hill was used for nearby military objects and the construction of the Tapa-Loobu road. This episode is not unusual in Estonian history; there are many such villages that have disappeared. The lost Koplimetsa serves as an example to narrate the story of Estonia and, more broadly, our entire region.

We have the pleasure of inviting you to the opening of Lauri Koppel's exhibition "The Dreamer Is Still Asleep" on Friday, 19 January at 5 PM. The exhibited works come from the artist’s dreams. Curtain, screen, hidden space / Paavo Matsin / It is a well-known fact that pickpockets widely use so-called screens in their activities. It can be a newspaper, an outer cloth thrown over the arm, or even another person. In the shadow of a screen, one's actions are carried out, which no one is allowed to see. Once an acquaintance of mine became the owner of an apartment where a professional card player had lived. In the middle of the room was a table, under which a knife with a scabbard was fixed, so that it could be grabbed without being noticed at the moment of need. Böhme says that the devil has no faces, only masks.
