Even Share
08 Mar – 19 Mar
Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia
Even Share presents the challenges of our time as a visual model, though, without giving answers. Artists: Samuli Haleni, Eetu Kevarinmäki, Sallamari Rantala, Sonja Vainionpää. To illuminate an effect, issue or object from a new perspective so it can be viewed from a new perspective – this is what Even Share is about. The exhibition’s artists are also united by youth, Turku Academy of Fine Arts and irony.
Exhibition “Life Experience”
09 Mar – 02 Apr
Photo Museum
The curator Kaupo Kikkas said about the exhibition: Once a photographer commented on a man’s portrait: “This face is like a roadmap of his life.” The hastily uttered sentence has made me look at a lot of things differently over the years. Usually, life experience is expressed in spoken or written word, by default it is expected to contain a wisdom or teaching. However, I am enchanted by the depiction of life experience in picture, which makes it much more abstract. The obligatory words of wisdom, facts and context have disappeared and through this, it grows into something much bigger and endlessly translatable. Life experience becomes a unique code that transcends times and languages – a visual roadmap of a person’s life.
