Events

On Thursday, 12th of September at 6 pm Vano Allsalu and Liisa Jugapuu will open their exhibition titled "Conversation in Colour" at Vaal Gallery. The exhibition will remain open until 12th of October. The exhibition brings together two painters who share a passion for colour as a vital means of expression. Vano Allsalu's and Liisa Jugapuu's works share a sensitive approach to the complexities of colour, a boldly abstract visual language, and an organic way of painting, where the creative process naturally encompasses the entire surface of the canvas. Yet, it is not difficult to discern their differing and highly individual approaches in terms of technique, palette, and composition. This evolving interplay of similarities and differences over the years offers rich ground for professional dialogue, the observation of mutual influences, and creative intrigue.

04.09-05.10.24 Pärnu City Gallery's Artists' House „In the world we live in, there is no longer a universally accepted truth, nor any basis to distinguish between what is real and what is imagined. The balance between reality and fiction has changed. We live in an enormous image. The artist has less and less need to invent content for their work. Fiction already exists.” With the exhibition at Pärnu Artists' House, the artist presents a selection of his most recent graphic art and paintings. Under this title, the works conceptually continue central themes that have been present in his work for nearly twenty years.

On Thursday, September 5, at 18.00, Joosep Kivimäe & Mathias Väärsi open their co-exhibition “The Posts of the Safety Net Bent from Flying into the Apple Tree Are Leftover” at Hobusepea gallery. The exhibition is curated by Laura Linsi. The exhibition will remain open until September 30, 2024. 

On Wednesday, September 4th, at 18.00, Loora Kaubi's solo exhibition Although One Is Often Aware of Some Far Brighter Light will open at Draakon gallery. The exhibition will be open until September 28th, 2024. “Exhaustion is inherent to the experience of life. It lacks clear boundaries; its tentacles seem to reach everywhere. Yet exhaustion could be followed by a certain freshness, a respite, and relief. But what to do when one awakens from a refreshing slumber feeling weary – more weary than before lying down? What happens when exhaustion does not subside? Perhaps one person's fatigue is something greater; maybe we are seized by shared fatigue? 

Friends, graphic artist Evi Tihemets (b. 1932) and photographer Kaupo Kikkas (b. 1983), meet on the same exhibition space. Since the 1950s, Tihemets has captured the local landscape and traces of human presence, seeking the indescribable essence of Estonian mysticism. Decades later, Kaupo Kikkas embarked on similar journeys. Tihemets was one of the first to recognise a similar perception of the world and art, which can connect two people here and now, as well as across time. The exhibition presents over 60 years of Estonian art history through the works of two artists from different generations. The exhibition is specifically created for the spaces of the old power station built in the 1930s, and the building is open to visitors for the first time.

On Thursday, 29 August at 6 PM, the exhibition A Place Between Night and Day will open at the Tallinn City Gallery (Harju Street 13). Featuring the works of artists Ann Pajuväli, Saskia Fischer and Sirje Runge, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the tension at the boundaries of space and time, fostering a fertile in-betweenness from which new spatial experiences can emerge. The exhibition is curated by Brigit Arop. The exhibition delves into the complexities of urban space, architecture and personal space, presenting a range of perspectives and focal points. Modernist, poetic and queer feminist viewpoints sometimes clash and at other times intertwine, unravelling the cultural and social values embedded in urban environments, visions that oscillate between the past and future, and personal memories of navigating the city.

On Friday, August 16 at 5 p.m., graphic artist Feliks Sarv will open his exhibition „A Singular Performance“ at Vabaduse Gallery. For the first time, Feliks Sarv will present a solo exhibition at the Vabaduse Gallery. A selection of his drawings from 2024 will be on display, the process of their creation having been inspired by the artist's hikes to several Estonian bogs at sunrise. Executed mainly in charcoal and pastel, the series is charged with strong impressions of nature, and the expressive handwriting alternates with occasionally recognisable nature motifs, as well as other introspective and figurative details, offering the viewer a wide scope for discovery. The drawings are accompanied by the author's own photographs and diary entries from the same bog walks.
