In 1632, Galileo Galilei published his ‘Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems’. Some pages of the aforementioned book are dedicated to a discussion of a ship that leaves Venice for Aleppo. One speaker, Sagredo, imagines a pen that would leave a visible mark of the entire voyage from Italy towards Syria.
Noble Venetians ponder how it could be that everything on board remains immobile, while at the same time leaving a thousand-yard-long trace. They discover that a true and real motion can be seen from different perspectives, including those from which this very movement would be as if nonexistent.

Exhibition involves inner and outer space, movement between instinctive, controllable and uncontrollable.

One is left with resonance.

Attention: Access to mechanical inventory is physically restricted

From idea to realization: Evelin Saul, Madlen HIrtentreu

Technical team: Bruno and Rünno Mander, Harri Liis, Ahto Härm

Exhibition is supported by: Cultural Endowment of Estonia and Konesko Ltd.

On Wednesday (20.09), 7PM, Mihhail gallery will open the exhibition “Sewage observation tower in baroque purple”. What is going to be seen is everyday poetry and exuberance through fragments, stains, removals and half-finished interior decoration. The works are connected by the living environment of Pirita, magical realism and everyday aesthetics, in-progress repairs, wiring from the walls and ceilings hanging out. Quality parquet where there should be a kitchen. This kind of contemporary art is a non-space, it is a homogeneous dimension of a person, and just like at home, art acquires architectural typologies.

What’s under the floor is another floor made of cashew. Later that day I was sitting in the garden drinking energy drinks, looking up stuff. This had been a dinner party, but I fucked it up. Another one. I really hoped for this home to stay gleaming, but now it has stains on it. I see traces of living, some parts of me are sad, buyer’s remorse, I guess. My home is your home. Mundane magic or domesticated aesthetics, however you want to take it. The belief in privacy, carried around everywhere. There’s always something a little extra. We are just visiting.

Artists participating Kadi Adrikorn, Spencer M. A., Vilen Künnapu, Anna Mari Liivrand, Joosep Maripuu, Eva Mustonen, Ann Paljuväli, Tomáš Roček, AW stuff, Anni Kivisto & Kirke Talu, Roman-Sten Tõnissoo.

Umbrella Group will open its first exhibition Confusion in the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (EKKM) at 6pm on November 11, 2016.

Curatorial exhibition “Confusion” produced by the department of photography of the Estonian Academy of Arts takes places as an off season exposition on the first and second floor of the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (EKKM) and will be open from November 12 to November 27.

Umbrella Group involves the following artists: Maris Karjatse, Madis Kurss, Kaisa Maasik, Hanna Samoson, Silvia Sosaar, and Ave Vellesalu.

The newly formed artist group captures attention with their spatial and video installations, a VR environment, as well as with the diverse and exhaustive subject treatment.

“Confusion” curated by Marco Laimre studies the concept of confusion in the context of contemporary art. The exhibition is based on Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s idea that humanness is defined by man’s reaction to the unknown.

Exhibition publication designed by Anna Kaarma includes short descriptions of presented artwork.

Curator Marco Laimre will lead the artist talk with the members of Umbrella Group in EKKM’s cafe at 6pm on November 16.

Guided tour in Estonian will be led by art historian Madli Ehasalu at 1pm on November 20, guided tour in English will be led by art historian Eva-Erle Lilleaed at 1pm on November 27.
