Kursi School artists’ group XXXV at the Tartu Art House

On Friday, 30 June at 5:00 p.m. the Kursi School artists’ group will open its 35th anniversary exhibition in the Tartu Art House.

The Kursi School was established in spring 1988. The artists’ group was founded by Albert Gulk, Peeter Allik, Ilmar Kruusamäe and Priit Pangsepp. Over the years, Marko Mäetamm, Reiu Tüür, Imat Suumann, Külli Suitso and Priit Pajos have also joined. With its 35 years of activity, it is one of the oldest active artist groups in Estonia.

A common feature of the work of the school's artists is an interest in people and their activity and living areas, and they deal with these in realistic, surreal and often grotesque creative ways.

This marks the school’s 92nd exhibition. In addition to many Estonian exhibition halls, the Kursi School has organised large group exhibitions in various countries: Italy (Venice, 2007), South Korea (Seoul, 1996), the USA (New York, 2010) our close neighbours Finland, Norway, Latvia and Lithuania etc. Works by the members of the group are in various museums and private collections in Estonia and abroad.

The exhibition will be open until 30 July.
