14.08.2020
On August 19th at 5pm at KORDON Container Gallery is opening of the video installation “Case No.14. The Storm on the Baltic Sea” by Karel Koplimets with Artist Talk at 6pm and Sea Rescue Seminar afterwards. You are very invited!
We see a pop-up container gallery as design activism dealing with urgent issues: technology and capitalist (over-)consumption and its contrast with nature.The video installation “Case No.14. The Storm on the Baltic Sea” by Karel Koplimets creates an uncanny spatial experience of anxiety, expanding the sense of intrigue between man-driven technology and natural forces.
The Kordon Art Residency in Hiiumaa is launching a container gallery in Kärdla to create contemporary art and space projects to interact with topical issues in a global context. Placing a transport container first in Tallinn’s urban space during Photomonth last autumn and in Kärdla this year is a spatial intervention that highlights how nature is at odds with technology and capitalist (over-)consumption.
Installation will be open until August 23th, Ranna 1, Kärdla,
On opening there is an artist talk with the artist and Kadi-Ell Tähiste (KAI Art Center) and Sea Rescue Seminar, conducted by volunteer lifeguard and „Hiiuingel“ shipowner Ain Tähiste.
During the sea rescue seminar, we will move from Kordon to the slipway of the historic lifeboat shed and to Kärdla harbor, where we will get overview of the sea rescue equipment, RIB-boat, SAR box and the sailing ship „Hiiuingel“. The seminar is free.
