On Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at 18.00, the co-exhibition of Kelli Gedvil & Kristen Rästas Wake Me Up When It’s All Over will open in Draakon Gallery. The exhibition will be open until September 30, 2023.  Wake Me Up When It’s All Over, the co-exhibition of Kelli Gedvili and Kristen Rästas, poetically reflects on the introverted urge to find shelter from everyday sensitivities and encapsulate in the digital world. The artists are focused on creating an atmosphere in which they explore the contemporary condition of humans living through one crisis after another.

On Friday, 1 September at 6 pm, Erki Kasemets and Camille Laurelli will open their duo exhibition Bricollage at Tallinn City Gallery, where material becomes art and art becomes material, and where the artists give each other futile tasks and misleading instructions. The exhibition is curated by Siim Preiman. Erki Kasemets and Camille Laurelli are artists whose lives and works are equally deeply intertwined. Their work is not determined by specific methods or finely honed techniques, but rather by a generally open and hybrid attitude towards art and their role in it. Both are fascinated by games; both are avid collectors and equally enjoy invention and mishap.

August 26 – October 1, 2023 Gallery Metropol Vana-Kalamaja 46, Tallinn Opening event on Saturday, August 26 at 6 pm. /War and peace are two different worlds. They are so different that it is difficult for a person who lives in one of them to imagine another. It rarely happens in history that you are given to stand on the border of two such worlds and even for a moment feel the nature of both of them./ From the story based on Aira Kaalu's wartme notes “Liberaton” (published in 1961 in the almanach "Siin Tartu...") Ly Lestberg reveals the background of the site-specific exhibition:

Virtual gallery post-gallery.online invited 5 artists to present their works as part of a group exhibition. Those artists are Kaisa Maasik, Mari Männa, Camille Laurelli, Laura De Jaeger and Johannes Luik. The exhibition is curated by Ian Simon Märjama ENTER THE EXHIBITION  “Anyone can confirm” takes its basis from the widespread virtual interface element called a drop menu, which can be viewed as a container or a category that is usually presented with a title or a symbol describing its contents. The user is presented with a list of options to choose from, which in turn can propagate further down into their own lists and so on. Through these avenues of choices, it is possible to navigate in and interact with digital space.

Sequences Biennial is delighted to announce the full list of participating artists for its 11th edition, which will open to the public from 13–22 October in Reykjavík, Iceland. Titled Can’t See, the Biennial explores the ever-growing threat of ecological destruction by delving into spaces that cannot be perceived by the human eye, from the depths of the sea and layers of the soil, imagining the debris of the past and visions of the future.

On 19 August at 4 pm, we will launch the food-themed community programme of lectures and joint cooking sessions, Korr-korr (Borborygmus) at the exhibition Hold Me Tender, featuring a variety of creators and thinkers in whose work preparing and sharing food holds a special place. The programme will be opened by Ulla Juske, Eva Järv and Hanna Piksarv with a campfire event, inviting visitors to grill whitebread over the flames and enjoy stories shared in the simple charm of fire.

On 23 August at 6 PM, Jaanus Samma's solo exhibition Iron Men, curated by  Krist Gruijthuijsen (KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin), will open at EKKM.

The exhibition is part of the 100th anniversary of the ceramics department of the EAA.

On August 11th at 6:00 pm, there will be an art exhibition at SillArt gallery by the artist Eduard Zentsik. The exhibition is called „Uus Tundmatu“ or “The New Unknown”. The name makes us think about what the future holds for us, as it's always full of unknowns. Maybe art can give us some hints? Eduard Zentsik is a multifaceted and prolific artist. His paintings create a fantastic space that seems to have room for all kinds of things and ideas. Every era and culture are influenced by his art, but there's a mysterious system behind it. Let's try to understand it better...
