From Saturday, 23 January the joint exhibition of Evi Gailit, Maris Tuuling and Tõnis Kriisa “Three Is Compromise” will be open in the small gallery of the Tartu Art House.
 
The exhibition of the two painters and one ceramicist focuses mainly on the human body. It is a collection of shapes that is the most expressive to other people. It can also be endlessly and without exhaustion used in artworks. 70–93% of communication is arguably based on body language but we are still quite illiterate about reading its meaning.
 
The authors add: “All exhibited works have been made in half a year for this project. Since we have allowed each other to quietly work on our own, we don’t want to also pressure the viewer with our interpretations. We won’t therefore explain our works nor offer a manual for the exhibition. The number of correct interpretations is equal to the number of stories constructed by the viewers.”
 
Evi Gailit (b 1952) has studied in the Long-Distance Visual Arts Courses of the Tartu Art Museum under Silvia Jõgever and in the Konrad Mägi Studio under Heldur Viires. Her last exhibition in the Tartu Art House took place in 2010 with Tõnis Kriisa.
 
Maris Tuuling (b 1968) has studied in the Konrad Mägi Studio. Her last solo exhibition in the Tartu Art House took place in 2012 and over the last years she has made several joint exhibitions with Evi Gailit.
 
Tõnis Kriisa (b 1968) has studied sculpture in the Tartu Art School and ceramics in the Estonian Academy of Arts. He is teaching in the Tartu Art School and in the Pallas University of Applied Sciences. His last exhibition in the Tartu Art House took place in 2019 with Andrus Peegel.
 
The exhibition is open until 21 February.
