Exhibition “Congregation of Chaos 101”

“Congregation of Chaos 101” at the Tartu Art House

On Friday, 24 May at 5 p.m., the joint exhibition “Congregation of Chaos 101” will open in the monumental gallery of the Tartu Art House. The curator of the exhibition is Martin Rästa.

With the exhibition, the Congregation of Chaos (witnesses of eternally disappearing and appearing, immutably changing the immeasurable) is celebrating its 101st anniversary. “Chaos Congregation 101” is a spontaneously changing space filled with an infinite flow of chaos. Similar practices were also used as the basis for the 2019 exhibition “Congregation of Chaos. Retrospective” at the Kogo Gallery (Tartu). 

“In practice, the congregation is guided by ultimate knowledge: all creative processes are rituals sanctifying chaos. By stepping outside the boundaries of accepted self-expression and avoiding expected synchronicities, members of the congregation are free to express themselves without restrictions. By abandoning the static image of the author and all conceptual constructions, the members of the congregation deconstruct the meanings of both the author and the exhibition. Also, 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the formulation of the Surrealism Manifesto, which is absolutely not important,” comments the curator. 

Participating artists: Kiwa, Stina Leek, Martiini, Raul Keller, Triinu Pungits, Roomet Jakapi, Gabriela Urm, Helle-Ly Tomberg, Uku Pira, Luulur and Martin Rästa.
