On Wednesday, July 2, at 6 p.m., Liisa Kruusmägi’s exhibition “Yokai Tea Party / 妖怪のお茶” will open at Draakon gallery. The exhibition will remain open until July 26, 2025.
Liisa Kruusmägi has been painting her thoughts and feelings, featuring people, animals, and the things around her in various environments. The bright colours of her paintings can make us breathe and rest in these anxious times.
On Friday, June 27 at 17.00, the joint exhibition Surrounded by graphic artist Kadri Toom and painter Helle Vahersalu will open at Vabaduse Gallery.
The exhibition “Surrounded” is a visual dialogue between two generations, a conversation between a teacher and a student. For Kadri Toom, it was her painting studies at the Tartu Art College under Helle Vahersalu that deeply influenced her later colour-centric printmaking. This time, however, Toom has approached the part of her teacher’s oeuvre that has previously remained hidden from the wider audience: colourful sketches and abstract compositions painted on cardboard. In this way, two different, yet delightfully complementary perceptions of landscape come together.

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

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.
