Fragility and delicacy operate here as w orking methods: form emerges through cracking\\\, breaking\\\, and acts of care. Drying\\\, deformation\\\, and the formation of imprints are not de viations or failures\\\, but part of a process through which material reme mbers\\\, transforms\\\, and shapes its own rhythm. The exhibition is cura ted by Madli Ljutjuk. “Imprint of Vulnerability approaches fertility b eyond biological or gender-defined terms. Here\\\, fertility is understood as an existential condition: the capacity to change\\\, to be receptive\\ \, and to remain within uncertainty. The exhibition invites viewers to exp erience fragility and delicacy not as weakness\\\, but as sources of vital ity and renewal\\\, fostering a sense of connection to a bodily\\\, cyclic al understanding of life\\\,” explains curator Madli Ljutjuk.Working tog ether for the first time\\\, the artists approach the same question from d ifferent angles. In Männa’s works\\\, a logic of emergence unfolds: the world is born from disintegration and transitional states in which life h as not yet settled into its final form. Erikson begins with the wound – the moment when a surface is opened and forced to remember. For both artis ts\\\, form is not an end point but a temporary condition\\\, something st ill in the process of becoming. Through sculptural and printmaking proces ses\\\, the exhibition reveals how form emerges where something is broken or unfinished. Cracking\\\, drying\\\, imprinting\\\, and deformation do n ot signify rupture\\\, but a generative dynamic. The exhibition speaks of two modes of becoming – emergence and the wound – as different manifes tations of the same process. The exhibition is set against a world in whi ch fixed boundaries are dissolving. The human no longer stands at the cent re\\\, but exists as one participant among bodies and materials in an enta ngled network. In such a world\\\, fertility becomes receptivity – the a bility to remain open even when the outcome is uncertain. Imprint of Vuln erability invites us to slow down and notice how life emerges precisely t hrough interruption. The exhibition will remain open until 5 April 2026.\ \n\\\\n [Exhibitions] LOCATION:Tallinn City Gallery DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260116T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260405T000000 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/mari-manna-and-maria-erikson-imprint-o f-vulnerability/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ITERATOR:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:203539 DTSTAMP:20260403T181216Z SUMMARY:Hayden Daughtry’s “Prairie Dog Town” in Uus Rada Gallery [Exh ibitions] DESCRIPTION:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n“A prairie dog town refers to the vast undergr ound networks of tunnels and chambers constructed by prairie dogs across t he grasslands. At the surface\\\, these colonies appear as little more tha n a dispersed field of cone-shaped mounds. Beneath this modest topography\ \\, however\\\, lies an extensive and highly organized architecture: a lab yrinth of tunnels connecting nesting chambers\\\, waste disposals\\\, list ening bays\\\, nurseries\\\, and bolt holes\\\, before branching into dist inct wards and family burrows.\\n\\n\\n\\nPrairie Dog Town takes this subt erranean architecture as both structure and allegory. The exhibition turns toward other underground networks—such as those operating within the lo gic of cartoons—where the burrow becomes a conceptual passage. Moving be low the visible surface\\\, tunnels open onto chambers of a more devious n ature: spaces where  logics conceal themselves\\\, circulate\\\, and mult iply.” - H.D.\\n\\n\\n\\n“Prairie Dog Town” is Hayden Daughtry’s i naugural show in Estonia. Originally from South Carolina\\\, entering the European art scene through the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam\\\, Hayden l ets the uncanny constructs of the outside seep into the gallery\\\, places where it might not otherwise allow. Sometimes a playful veneer might be a scratchcard  with an inverse prize.

Some say this love belongs only to gods themselves. Still\\\, we defy that notion treacherously\\\, and we face whatever form of divinity we believe in\\\, to plea:\"I wish.\"To wish is to indulge in the lack. The lover does not o nly wish for the ephemeral sense of fulfillment\\\, but eventually wishing itself serves to satisfy the lover's hunger.

The duo exhibition by Gerda Hansen and Rebecca Norman invites the viewer to experience art not only as something definitive\\\, but as a way of becoming. The exhibition reveals the stages of artistic practice that usually remain hidden\\\, off ering a chance to step into the moment where a work is born and where mean ings have not yet settled.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition examines the boundari es between completion and incompletion\\\, approaching finality not as a d estination\\\, but as a state in which the forward movement is temporarily suspended. The creative process\\\, often shaped by uncertainty\\\, exper imentation and internal tension\\\, is usually resolved when the artist de cides to declare a work complete. In this exhibition however\\\, the viewe r comes into contact with the process rather than the finalised work. The presented works do not conceal their unfinished state. Instead\\\, they em phasise its value. On these canvases\\\, thoughts remain dispersed\\\, for ms and tones are still taking shape\\\, and meanings remain open. It is a moment where possibilities remain unended and the potential of the work is still unfolding.\\n\\n\\n\\nPerhaps completing a work is a merely provisi onal decision\\\, a pause within an ongoing process? The artist appears he re as a practitioner of continuous choices and interruptions\\\, guided by an intuitive and often sensitive self-reflection. Imperfection\\\, repeti tion and error are not deviations\\\, but integral to the organic nature o f making. As Gilles Deleuze suggests\\\, artworks are not defined by what they appear to be at a given moment\\\, but by what they might become. The exhibition offers an insight into the concealed layers of artistic produc tion\\\, presenting the artwork as something that unfolds over time.\\n\\n \\n\\nIn Hansen’s works\\\, layered structures strive toward presence an d transparency. Repeating forms and interruptions create a rhythm that doe s not lead to a solution but instead exposes different stages of the creat ive process. She is interested in the moment when a work of art dissolves and comes into being at the same time. In Norman’s practice\\\, the noti on of completion is examined through its various permutations including th e use of unstable colour pigments. For her\\\, the apparent incompleteness of a work is not a deficiency\\\, and the abundance of potential is reali sed through the material itself. The tension between continuation and comp letion becomes a deliberately sustained condition\\\, in which the work do es not close\\\, but remains in an active and meaningful state of breathin g.\\n\\n\\n\\nArtists                                    \\n\\n\\n\\nGerda Hansen (b. 1994) is a contemporary Est onian-based artist whose practice explores the intersections of painting a nd digital image-making. She holds a BA in painting (2022) and an MA in co ntemporary art (2025) from the Estonian Academy of Arts. In the current ex hibition\\\, Hansen brings together manual processes with AI-based generat ive systems. Her works emerge through a visual dialogue with the machine i n which images remain intentionally ambiguous and leave the attribution of meaning to the viewer. Hansen has exhibited both in Estonia and internati onally and is the recipient of the 2023 Adamson-Eric Young Artist Scholars hip.\\n\\n\\n\\nRebecca Norman (b. 2001) graduated in painting from the Es tonian Academy of Arts (2025)\\\, while also supplementing her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (2024). Her practice addresses the conv ergence and misalignment between the author and the material and the resul ting dissonant outcomes. Her works often engage with seemingly insignifica nt moments that call for new forms of categorisation through sustained att ention. She is drawn to utilitarian objects that have irreversibly lost th eir function and various forms of apparent nonsense that mimic purposefuln ess. Norman has participated in several group exhibitions and received the Endover Prize for her 2025 graduation work Loaded Vacuity.\\n\\n\\n\\nCur ator\\n\\n\\n\\nLiisi Kõuhkna is a curator and project manager who gradua ted with a master's degree in health sciences from the Tallinn University and has also an MA from curatorial studies and a BA in jewellery and black smithing from the Estonian Academy of Arts.
