Exhibition 3.06—13.06 Opening 2.06.25 at 18:00  EKKM Vitriingalerii Location: metal structure facing the front door of the museum  FB event This season, when the house is installing, EKKM vitrine is activated in the framework of ambiguity. Questioning a showcase as a space for clear-cut, well defined messages, this series of exhibitions host material from artists' studios that is in a state of doubt. Moving away from the wall of the museum, it welcomes open-endedness, questioning, and hesitation as a crucial voice in public space.   Keiu Maasik deals with the experience of daily playing online shooter games and reflects on the sensation of becoming desensitized to the violence in such a medium. Curator: Laura De Jaeger

On May 27, 2025, at 18.00, Danel Kahar will open his solo exhibition The Old Man and the Snowflake at Hobusepea gallery. The exhibition will remain open until June 30. Every evening, my grandparents would watch the news on TV. My grandfather (who had been in war) was particularly vocal, commenting on everything he watched. The overall tone was deeply pessimistic. The war in Chechnya dominated the headlines. Most of my grandfather’s remarks boiled down to the belief that Russia would never change and that Estonia’s freedom hung by a thread. If a nuclear bomb were ever dropped on Estonia, he said, those who survived would not be able to escape, instead, they would be deported to Siberia. The atmosphere grew too dreary, and I began to avoid the TV room.

On Tuesday, 27 May 2025 at 18.00, Marleen Suvi will open her solo exhibition Water, Greenery and a Beautiful Face, curated by Kerly Ritval, in Draakoni gallery.

On Friday, 23rd of May at 6 pm opens a group exhibition titled "MIЯЯOЯERROR" by KIWA and Toomas Volkmann at Vaal Gallery. The exhibition will remain open until 28th of June. Communication that doesn’t work as expected. A message that doesn’t get there. An image that repeats itself until it’s empty. A system that reflects its own interruption. The exhibition brings together Toomas Volkmann’s aesthetic glitch and Kiwa’s party and poetics of noise and error. Before the messages get there and Volkmann’s works start making noise, Kiwa’s work has become empty and dusty. A glitch remix of “The Hell” plays, glitter flashes, and a glorified spirit has emerged in the mirror of the mirror. The party is just beginning.

On Friday, 16 May at 5:30 p.m., Sirje Petersen will open her solo exhibition “Storms and Urges” in the large gallery of the Tartu Art House. The exhibition offers insights into the artist’s painting practice from 1983 to the present. Sirje Petersen’s journey of becoming and being an artist began exactly 50 years ago, in 1975, when she enrolled at the Tartu Art School.

On Friday, 16 May at 5:00 p.m., Evelyn Grzinich will open her solo exhibition “The Burrow Zone” in the monumental gallery of the Tartu Art House. The exhibition is about soil. Soil, as the living and ever-changing layer of the earth's crust, has become a poetic space for the artist. It can only be physically experienced in a very limited way, but through the imagination we are given a much wider opportunity to immerse ourselves in this complex environment.

Opening: May 17 at 15:00 at the Eduard Vilde Museum. “I look out the window, there is a fountain.. When I was on the dock some day, I laid my hand in the water with my eyes fixed on the stream, I became one with the river. When I was swimming in a lake, in the bog or the sea, it's the same. I was one with the water. But it's different from the fountain that I see. You shouldn't swim in there nor drink it either. The fountain is only for looking at.“ Participating artists: Eva Mustonen, Helena Keskküla, Liisa Mudist, (also featuring contributions from Jenny Grönholm, Ly Lestberg, and Ieva Putniņa). On Saturday, May 31 at 14:00, there's a poetry event that will take place as part of the exhibition, featuring performances by Sveta Grigorjeva, Nancy Nakamura Rap Crew, and Tõnis Vilu. Exhibition dates: May 18 – June 28, 2025. Supported by the Estonian Cultural Endowment.
