​Please join us for Jaanika Peerna’s “Glacier Elegy Brooklyn” Performance Sunday 4 October 2020 Brooklyn, NYC 2pm NYC & EST / 7pm UK & BST / 8pm CEST LIVE & LIVE-STREAMED   Much of Jaanika Peerna’s recent work is a lament to glaciers and natural ice.

On 2 October, the exhibition “Modern Love (or Love in the Age of Cold Intimacies)” curated by Katerina Gregos will open at the Museum für Neue Kunst in Freiburg, Germany. The exhibition is the first major international co-production for Tallinn Art Hall.   According to Paul Aguraiuja, Director of Tallinn Art Hall, it is exceptional for an Estonian art institution to initiate and lead the production of an international exhibition which is currently scheduled to be displayed in three countries, while preliminary negotiations have already begun with potential additional exhibition venues. “I believe that this exhibition, in addition to the recent Forbes article, will enhance the image of Tallinn as an emerging centre of contemporary art and will benefit Estonian artists as well as the local exhibition audience. This will help us bring more and more Estonian artists to the international arena and also introduce top contemporary art to the local audience.”  

This current exhibition is part of my personal exhibition, which took place in March 2019 at Draakon Gallery (“PS. The Psalms and Prophet Jonah in the Belly of the Whale”) The Psalms or Psalter (Hebrew םי לִּ הִ תְּ tehillim, Greek ψαλμοί) is one of the most important and well-known part of the Jewish and Christian scripture. There are 150 psalms. The central theme of the psalms is praise give to the Lord. The main task of human life is to pray and render praise. All the creation, but especially the human heart, is a temple of God. Accordig to psalms, there is a knowledge of the source and purpose of life in our hearts.   Psalm 141:2 “Let my prayer arise as incense before you, the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice...” (Psalm 141:2).

Blending in and becoming Hydra.   Hydrate me, with a soft squishy feeling. And yet,

Maria Kapajeva’s solo exhibition “When the World Blows Up, I Hope to Go Down Dancing” will be on display at Art Hall Gallery from 17 September. The artist addresses the social pressures that accompany women throughout their lives and looks for ways to confront them. The curator of the exhibition is Siim Preiman.   The exhibition will open on Wednesday, 16 September at 5 pm and will run until 8 November.   Traditional gender roles are often considered as predestined as the laws of nature, rather than the co-creation of society. This is exactly why they are so persistent. According to the most common stereotypes, women are expected to stay young forever on the one hand and to become mothers on the other. Such roles are reiterated in education, media and culture. But what happens if you don’t want to take on either role? And so Maria Kapajeva asks directly: “Isn’t there any other possibility?”  

On September 19th at 4pm KORDON Container Gallery opens Diana Tamane's video installation “Letters from Mum III, Mõšanin”. Opening will be followed by artist talk moderated by curator Laura Toots (EKKM). This will be our last exhibition this summer. You are very much invited!  

Open from Saturday, September 12 from noon.      Artists: Julian Charrière, Iggy Malmborg, Eduardo Navarro, Jaakko Pallasvuo, Jeremy Shaw, Karl Sjölund, Martta Tuomaala, Ana Vaz, Kristina Õllek Curators: Marten Esko, Vanina Saracino and Lea Vene   "Tiger in Space" sets out to address and think about the resourceful and at times oversaturated notion of energy. It departs from common approaches to the imminent transition we face – transition from fossil fuel dependency towards other forms of usable energy.
