Events

On Thursday, 30 July at 5 p.m. Ulvi Haagensen will open her personal exhibition “From the Archive: a Collection of Funny Things” in the small gallery of the Tartu Art House.   The imaginary author of the exhibition, Olive Puuvill creates art works in the manner of a bricoleuse. In her latest work she combines patterns, lines, textures and light to create an installation where objects, situations, materials and ideas are juxtaposed in a slightly chaotic arrangement, but one that nonetheless has a logic of its own. All this bears the traces of her intentions, aims and ideas as physical evidence of the working processes where Olive’s everyday life clashes, meets and melds with her art practice.   The artist adds: “Some of the pieces are handmade, others not. They clash, they harmonise. Some are possibly useful or functional, others not.

Tarrvi Laamann will be at the SOLARIS Gallery on July 26th. The traveler and painter will be introducing his artworks, playing music and painting live between 12‒7 pm.

Husa is a grove that is filled with postures of thinking and feeling driven by lushy landscapes of city and beyond. Our full breath takes about three seconds while plants inhale in a day and exhale during the night. This different rhythm puts us in fast forward pace. The scene is carried by night winds, emotional wreckage, cars, building lots, flying insects and movement of plants. Husa is made of a set of unbroken car windows bent armature, concrete water, dripping second hand jewellery lace boots Ensis shells twining plants of Ipomoea genus runner beans raspberries

On Wednesday 24th of July at 5pm, Anne Roolaht will open her exhibition "Come to the woods. go to the woods. be in the woods. in the woods."  With the exhibition, Roolaht calls to offer attention to the companion species of humans. The exhibition will be on display until 15 August.   Anne Roolaht: The woods and its creatures are a part of us, they are our kin – we cannot do without them. We have to care for our close ones. During the recent years, I have dedicated my jewellery to the protection of endangered species. Wolves, white-tailed eagles, bears, deer, flying squirrels and other animals are represented in my works because I want to bring them to attention, to protect them in my own fashion. With this exhibition, I present new works of silver jewellery with precious stones. To accompany the jewellery, I am presenting my graduation work tutored by Heinz Valk – a cast bronze table.

Urmas Pedanik’s solo exhibition “Transitions” to open at Tallinn City Gallery on Friday, 17 July at 4 pm.   The sixth solo exhibition of painter Urmas Pedanik will open at the City Gallery on Friday, 17 July. “Transitions” deals with a conflict between the artificial and the natural, testifying that the power of the beauty around us is far from faded.

"Enter the Void" exhibits Maria Sidljarevitš’s most recent artwork, which examines the ambiguity and unattainability of narratives and is inspired by the Japanese culture.   The oil paintings and ink drawings displayed at the exhibition are based on found vintage images that have been painted over, collaged or digitally manipulated. Maria’s artwork lies between the realms of reality and paranoia, metaphor and possibility. In her art practice, she examines the distance between meaning and interpretation and how such a distance eliminates definitions.   "I have created these paintings intuitively. They are based on the images of Japanese women that I found on the internet and that spoke to me. For me, the Japanese culture is fascinating, mysterious and genuine, and its traditions have been carefully taken care of throughout centuries. The faces of these girls carry an inexplicable depth and force of nature.

The sixth international printmaking workshop for professional artists will take place on Muhu island Estonia. The event is organized by the Association of Estonian Printmakers. 20 invited artists from Estonia, Finland and Poland are participaiting. This years topic is "Prints conquer space".   In a world where the inability to cope with real life highly increases, we invite You to a trip into a two-dimensional space that` s filled with graphic imprints. The surroundings of Muhu island enable us to make a site-specific work of art; thus using the means of both our inner and outer world.  

Where would you go if you wanted to see the centre of Europe? What are the traits of the average global citizen? What happens to our families when our political views are crossed? How can differences among us be re-defined in ways that enable resistance and creative activity for cultural change?   The “Narrating Against the Grain” exhibition features new commissions by Alina Bliumis and Tanja Muravskaja and will be open from 17 July until 6 September at Art Hall Gallery. The exhibition opening will take place on 16 July at 5 pm.   “Nations themselves are narrations,” observed Edward Said in Culture and Imperialism (1993), a statement that holds true in our current time.
