Events

On Friday, 4 August at 5:00 p.m. Tarvo Varres will open his solo exhibition “Waiting is when time is always in excess and when time is nevertheless short” in the monumental gallery at the Tartu Art House. In this exhibition, the artist continues to move along the trajectory of site-specific text-based installations. The central idea of the exhibition is the seemingly universal and somewhat paradoxical motif of “waiting”. Similar to the personal exhibition “The Shadow of Time” held at the Hobusepea gallery at the end of last year, the works of this exhibition - both sculptural and conceptual text-objects - are formed from Maurice Blanchot's sentences, selected by the artist, but here focusing on the motif of “waiting” instead of the concepts of “self” and “time” in the previous exhibition.

We have the pleasure of inviting you to the opening of Diana Tamane's exhibition "Half-Love" on Thursday, 3 August 3 at 6 PM. The exhibition is centered on a series of photographs depicting the artist Diana Tamane’s younger half-sister Elina. The first photo was taken more than 10 years ago. Diana’s photos capture Elina growing up and the meetings of the two sisters every summer in the Latvian seaside summerhouse region Kursīši. The continuity of the photos provides insight into the sisters’ personal relationship and the development of their creative collaboration. According to Diana, she “wanted to recall the simple joys available to us, such as the feeling of the sun on our skin, the taste of still warm tomatoes from the greenhouse, the softness of the grass underfoot, and the sound and smell of the sea.”

From 8 July, Ingrid Allik’s solo exhibition “Sekret” will be open in the Tartu Art Museum. Exploring autobiographical topics and those encompassing life’s circles, Ingrid Allik has chosen to pursue free creative work as a ceramicist. Curious for experiments and mindful of the creative process, Allik is constantly changing and evolving as an artist without imposing restrictions on her work in terms of media or dimensions. Her art practice ranges from individual objects to large-scale installations. Original pieces by the artist often occur alongside collected objects, amplifying each other, telling stories of past memories and experiences.

On Friday, 30 June at 5:00 p.m. Aksel Haagensen will open his solo exhibition “The joy derived from observing birds (which may be gradually disappearing from the world around us)” in the small gallery at the Tartu Art House. The curator of the exhibition is Saskia Lillepuu. Aksel Haagensen was born in Sydney, Australia. His family moved to Estonia when he was eight years old. One of his clearest memories from his early childhood was his obsession with birds: he would draw them, look at them through binoculars, watch them at the zoo, re-enact bird shows he witnessed at the zoo, repeatedly watch documentaries his grandmother recorded for him on VHS cassettes, and for many years a Christmas or birthday would not pass without little Aksel receiving a bird book.
