Liina Siib’s exhibition “Politics of Paradise” at Tallinn Art Hall
Graphic Art
On Friday, February 15 at 6 pm, Liina Siib’s exhibition “Politics of Paradise” curated by Taru Elfving will be opened in Tallinn Art Hall.
Liina Siib excavates the multiple dreams and ideals that haunt the present. Her work pays acute attention to the minor narratives, which usually persist in the shadows of the attention economy or crevices of accelerated lived experience. Bringing together new productions and a selection of older works by Siib, the exhibition Politics of Paradise mediates intergenerational conversations between individual lives and complex gendered histories of privilege and power.
Recently Siib has looked at the ongoing regional economic migration through the eyes of Estonian women working in Finland. This contemporary polyphony of personal stories, desires and realities is reflected against new installations focused on the tragic yet deviant historical local female characters. They continue Siib’s long-term artistic investigations into the entangled political and habitual claims to space, voice and meaning.
Tallinn Art Hall (Vabaduse väljak 8, Tallinn) is open from Wednesday to Sunday, 12 noon to 7 pm, admission € 3 / € 6 / € 9.
The Art Hall Foundation is a contemporary art establishment that presents exhibitions in three galleries on the central square of Tallinn – at Tallinn Art Hall and nearby at Tallinn City Gallery and the Art Hall Gallery. Tallinn Art Hall exhibitions are installed by Valge Kuup.

Public lecture by Raine Vasquez
Faculty of Fine Arts
Public lecture by Raine Vasquez will be held today(17.01) at 5pm in room nr A301
In an informal conversation Raine Vasquez will discuss his complicated and frustrated relationship with art, his exodus into philosophy, and his continued work at the Museum of Impossible Forms and other art-centric organizations. He will discuss some points of his forthcoming “anti-art” manifesto, contemplate arts’ role as a technology of late-capitalism, and whether it really has the power to disrupt that it is so often claimed to possess. He will wonder about the ethics of continuing to make art, and speak about disappointment, hopelessness, and self-exile.

opening of part 2 of the 17th Tallinn Print Triennial youth exhibition
Graphic Art
Since 1998, the Tallinn Print Triennial has been accompanied by young artists’ exhibitions. Spheres is the youth exhibition of the 17th Tallinn Print Triennial. Its aim is to study the contemporary human condition through the conceptual metaphor of a sphere. Philosopher and cultural theorist Peter Sloterdijk claims that spheres are hybrid and symbolic realities created by humans from whatever is ready to hand. They are spaces of coexistence that enable humans to exist as humans. All human life proceeds within membranes that provide meaning and immunity.
There are three types of spheres. Bubbles are microspheres and the smallest units of social existence. They are constituted by dyadic relationships between two entities. Globes are all encompassing macrospheres that seek to unite all individual differences. Foam is the fragile and layered aggregate of vertically and horizontally contiguous bubbles that are characterized by co fragility—if one bubble bursts, it affects all its neighbors.
The youth exhibition will take place in two parts. The second part will open at the Corridor Club of Kultuurikatel on the 31 st of May at 6 PM and will remain open until the 16 th of July. Participating artists— Valentin Alizer, Ann Pajuväli, Mark Antonius Puhkan, Irma Isabella Raabe, Kadi Reintamm, Elina Saat, Kristina Mirjam Villand and S3+A1 (Delija Thakur, Helga Aliis Saarlen, Elise Roos ja Patrik Olejňák). The exhibition is curated by Eve Kask and Oliver Laas. The exhibition designer is Delija Thakur.

Kristina Paabus is a multidisciplinary visual artist with a focus in printmaking. Kristina’s work investigates systems and strategies that we use to perceive, control, and negotiate our surroundings. She examines tools such as language, architecture, internet, government, and beliefs to expose our constant yet sometimes futile attempts at structure. By exploring the pursuit, successes, fractures, and failures within our individual and shared rules, she questions the factual and fictional constructions that we employ to interact with the world around us. |

She also studied Fine Arts and Religious Studies at University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and Printmaking at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Kristina has exhibited her work throughout the US and Europe, with recent exhibitions including NEO Geo at the Akron Art Museum (OH) and Belt and Road at the National Gallery (Bulgaria). Paabus is the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship for Installation Art in Estonia, the Grant Wood Fellowship in Printmaking at the University of Iowa, and the Southern Graphics Council International Guanlan Residency Award.
