Chloé Geinoz & Eleftheria Irene Kofidou “Respiratory Rate” at Vent Space

You are warmly invited in the exhibition “Respiratory Rate” by Chloé Geinoz and Eleftheria Irene Kofidou opening on the 12th of December at 19.00 in Vent Space.

The artists are interested in the poetical connotations that draw inspiration from the space’s prior use as the ventilation room of the Tallinn Art Hall Gallery (Tallinna Kunstihoone). A week long residency period creates the possiblity to work on site and bind together the room’s history with the artists’ personal experiences and memories. The goal is to build a sound installation that reflects their thoughts regarding controlled airstream, breathing as a right and its violation. The installation consists of a collage of previously recorded sounds and site specific recordings, as well as sculptural pieces intertwined with ready made objects. The artists wish to create a space that enables and encourages interactive relations between the viewers and the installation.

Exhibition is open 12-23.12 and 27-30.12
12-15
