On Wednesday, the 4th of March at 6 p.m. Solveig Lønseth (NO) will be
opening her exhibition at the Rundum Rehearsal Space series at Rundum
artist-run space (Väike-Karja 5, Tallinn). Presentation and discussion with
the artist will follow at 7pm.

Throughout the last years I have been dealing with a relatively nomadic
studio situation. Moving between studios on a regular basis has led me to
an interest in spatial structures and the impact those structures have for
my artistic practice. Architectural challenges in both the studio and
exhibition spaces have constructively influenced my work. In every room I
enter, I either settle or sense a form for dissatisfaction. From that point
I have to collaborate with the space. By incorporating spatial elements or
by approaching the space in another way, I want to clarify the
peculiarities and expand the restraining aspects in each specific space.

I find it very relevant and as a further development for my practice to do
a show under the conditions of Rundum’s Rehearsal Space. The location
(Väike-Karja tn 5, Vanalinn) we got for this show, and where previously a
bag shop called Trendy Bags & Accessories was located, is as new to Rundum
as for me. I have decided to keep the window logo and have used this as a
starting point for the show; approaching the location by its name and a
story since I haven’t seen the space for real yet. I really look forward to
experience – and collaborate with the space

The seminars take place in a new location – wine lounge Paar Veini (Sauna 1). In the opening seminar, EHI Anthropology professor Carlo Cubero screens the film “Mangrove Music” (60 mins).
This documentary follows music groups from the island of Culebra, one of the Virgin Islands in the northeastern Caribbean. This documentary was produced within a larger project that examined the processes and relationships that constitute a unique Caribbean island identities. The screening will be accompanied by a talk that reflects on the the different methodological issues of using audiovisual media as an intrinsic part of anthropological research.
Carlo Cubero is a full-time Associate Professor of Social & Cultural Anthropology at Tallinn University where he lectures and coordinates the post-graduate program.
Cubero holds a PhD in Social Anthropology using Visual Media from the University of Manchester, where he specialized in the contemporary Caribbean and Visual Anthropology.

ABOUT LAIK:

LAIK as a group started in November 2012 and its members are active in several different art practices. The collaboration of the artists was triggered by trying out different dialogue forms, aiming to support comprehending conscious and subconscious memory chain-processes both in the group and for the audience in a manner that the processes themselves become the outcome. If consciousnesses meet they just not only share knowledge. They change it, reshape, re-narrate – create new memory chains, being recorded (documented) in the socially constructed collective body, which has ben called by LAIK “Objekt MU [Object MY]”.

“Valgustung [Light appetence]” represents the next phase of the above described process, where several different spiritual as well as vision, tactile and auditory perception related concepts like awakening, opening, emancipation, setting free, appetence towards light are mirrored.

Group members: Anu Vask, Gerhard Lock, Jekaterina Kultajeva, Juhan Vihterpal, Kaspar Aus, Kristino Rav
