27.09.2021

Liivia Leškin's personal exhibition “Who's the King of the Castle?” will be open in the basement, or the belly of Draakon gallery from Monday, September 27, 2021. Exhibition has been curated by Anna Leskin De Muynck.
 
Liivia Leškin: “This exhibition is dedicated to Estonian men. Tiit, Tõnu, Riho, Rein, Urmas, Peeter, Toomas, Jaak, Peep, Eerik, Hannes, Aare, Avo, Ilmar, Mart, Ivo, Indrek, Raivo, Lembit, Hennes, Jaan, Mart ... To them and lots of other men who are more or less the same age as me, whom I remember from kindergarden or school. They have been good colleagues, friends, neighbours. Yet, the exhibition is also dedicated to those Estonian men whom I have never personally met, but whom I feel like I know them. Because they are my contemporaries.
 
PS! These names were popular back then. Sometimes there were several boys with the same name in the class. Similar list could be made also with the girls' names that were popular back then. But this exhibition is dedicated to men! Who's the King of the Castle was a popular children's game when I was young.”
