Art exhibition “Rendezvous: Evi Tihemets and Kaupo Kikkas”
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.

 Exhibition “A Place Between Night and Day“
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.

„A Singular Performance“ by Feliks Sarv
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.

Johanna & Katariin Mudist “Sisters have sisterhood”
There is a saying “vendadel on vendlus, õdedel on õelus”, which roughly means that there is a friendship / brotherhood in between brothers and malice / sisterhood in between sisters. It's just a wordplay, since “õelus” means both malice and sisterhood. Anyhow, somehow the language has influenced the culture and if brothers are often seen as “shoulder to shoulder” companions then in sisterhood there is more concentration on the relations of conflict. Coming from this, there is a wish, that there would be a different word to describe sisterhood in Estonian; how to describe a brotherhood in between sisters?  In the exhibition “Sisters have sisterhood”/ “Õdedel on õelus” sisters-Mudists will share a gallery space for the first time. Johanna Mudist is well known for her paintings, in which she stands out in her very own color-code, technique and spot on tranquility. Katariin vice versa is known for her drawings and sculptures that always have some fine humor in them. In the ARS projectspace, Johanna's meditative paintings meet Katariin's playful installations, whose interplay characterizes both the two sisters themselves and their relationship.
 “It Never Gets Old”  by Mia Tamme & Delphine Lejeune
On Wednesday, August 7, at 18.00, Mia Tamme & Delphine Lejeune open their co-exhibition “It Never Gets Old” at Hobusepea gallery. The exhibition is curated by Tiiu Meiner. The exhibition will remain open until September 1, 2024. “It Never Gets Old” brings together artist Mia Tamme (Estonia) and designer Delphine Lejeune (Belgium) to explore the intersection of gender dynamics, socio-economic realities, and aesthetics in lace crafts. By juxtaposing traditional techniques with innovative approaches, the exhibition encourages fresh perspectives on the relationship between craft, community, and contemporary life. It invites visitors to reconsider the role of lace in reflecting social change and the evolving nature of craftsmanship.
