Programme:
● 29 September 2024
History and Mystery: Latin American Art and Europe
The exhibition features art from two eras: the Spanish Colonial period from the 17th to the 19th century, and the modernist art of the 20th century from Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela. The exhibition focuses on relations in art between Latin America and Europe. In the colonial period, art was a powerful medium to spread Christianity and justify the social hierarchies imposed by the Spanish colonial rule. In the 20th century, a different relationship emerged, when contacts between artists developed in Paris, Madrid and other European art centres. In both colonial art and 20th century modernist art, the European influences merged with local indigenous cultures, resulting in a unique Latin American visual language.
● 27 October 2024
Landscapes of Identity: Estonian Art 1700–1945
The permanent exhibition tells the story of Estonian art as it evolved through Estonia’s multi-ethnic history, growing into a heritage that blends Estonian, Baltic German and Russian traditions. The focus is on the role of art in society and in shaping the identities of diverse communities.
● 24 November 2024
Jevgeni Zolotko: The Secret of Adam
Jevgeni Zolotko (b. 1983) is one of the most original Estonian contemporary artists. His solo exhibition “The Secret of Adam” showcases the artist’s recent works, including some brand new works created specifically for the exhibition.
● 22 December 2024
The Life and Death of Mr. N: Bourgeois Spaces by Urmas Lüüs
How do spaces, objects and desires change as a way of life rooted in centuries of toil in the fields is replaced by the elegance of parquet floors and chandelier-lit salons? What qualities must one possess and what must one suppress in order to be a member of the bourgeoisie? The spaces created by Urmas Lüüs offer an interpretation of the first half of the 20th century in Estonian society. Where and how did the middle class live and how did it define itself? An array of objects and artworks from museum collections is also on display.
