Silence from the Ceiling
The solo exhibition “Silence from the Ceiling” by Mari-Liis Sõrg will be opened at Vent Space project space on Thursday, 25 April 2019 at 6pm. The exhibition will be open until 28 April 2019, Fri 2-7pm and Sat, Sun 12-6pm.
Mari-Liis Sõrg tackles the stories behind views that have entrenched themselves in the mind,
despite not being remembered. In a world, where moments have lost their duration, the fear of oblivion grows. Grasped by this fear, we begin to record the past and the present, the troubling
disquiet forces us to collect views, objects, data, writings. The calm that has been lost in the
panicked fervour of collecting is replaced by an uncertain perspective concerning the future. That said, the moments, which we have not attempted to archive, can enjoy the silence and freedom.
Using painting and photography, she looks at the discrepancy between depiction and conservation.
Mari-Liis Sõrg has graduated from the department of graphic art at the Estonian Academy of Arts (BA 2018) and is continuing her studied in the contemporary art programme (MA).
Vent Space is supported by the Student Council of Estonian Academy of Arts.

Extinction or Rebellion? XR Estonia x Vent Space
Our planet is dying.
A breakdown of our climate and ecology could very well drive humans and other animals to extinction within a couple of generations.
Governments and big corporations are busy making up excuses and hiding the truth, to steer the conversation away from the problems.
Is anyone dealing with this situation at all?
Yes!
From 15-21 April, the Week of International Rebellion is taking place in cities all over the world. Started by the Extinction Rebellion movement, these mass protests are spreading all over the world, with the epicentre in London.
The protesters have occupied important roads in cities, disrupting everyday hustle and bustle and demanding immediate action concerning the crisis, despite the mass arrests taking place.
Vent Space will be the climate protest centre of Estonia from 19-23 April. We will be broadcasting live events taking place in London, Estonia and other parts of the world, supporting the brave activists fighting for our future. Workshops and presentations on the subject of the climate crisis will also be held.
Vernissage on 19 April at 7 pm.
Additional information on the workshops and presentations TBA.
The project is lead by Tiiu Lausmaa, alumni of EAA painting department, year 2018 (bachelor’s degree), along with the rest of the XR Estonia team.

Group exhibition LASNAMÄE? at Vent Space
The group exhibition “Lasnamäe?”
will open at Vent Space project space on Friday, 12 April 2019 at 7pm. The exhibition will remain open until 17 April.
Participating artists: Anna Kaarma,
Lee Kelomees, Tõnis Laurson, Tiiu Lausmaa, Janne Lias, Riin Maide,
Vassa Ponomarjova
Considering Lasnamäe, the first things that spring to mind are the rows of prefabricated buildings and the wastelands interspersed between them. As a manifestation of a characterless, purely utilitarian space in the cityscape, it continues to be an important and intriguing environment for us, the young people born in the former Soviet Union or right after its collapse. The impersonal nature of Lasnamäe provides us with breathing space, creating a gap into which it was possible for us to write our story. It is our conceptual playground between the real playgrounds and rows of windows, where memories and the emotions they conjure intertwine with the foreign, thereby making it familiar.
The exhibition does not aspire to be an overview nor a broad research of the given subject, we have selected examples from the work by students at the fine art department at EKA created in recent years. The decisive factor in most of the works is coincidence, the initial task of the artist was not to depict Lasnamäe, these works have been by-products in the processes of other works.
The exhibition will remain open during April 13–17 from 12pm to 6pm.
Anna Kaarma (1992) received her bachelor’s degree in graphic design at EKA (2015) and will graduate from her master’s studies in photography/contemporary art this spring. Concurrently, she is preparing a second solo exhibition, which looks at the architectural aesthetics and ideological frame of reference for Lasnamäe, to which she ascribes a human perspective and dreamlike spatial experience through her own perspective. That said, she is also attempting to work past the anonymity of the district and reach its origin. A lifelong inhabitant of Lasnamäe.
Lee Kelomees (1995) is a photographer with a bachelor’s degree from the Estonian Academy of Arts and has lived in Lasnamäe since her early childhood. The inspiration for Lee’s previous work has been the industrial romance unfolding from the window of her 11th floor childhood home, which can be considered her emotional shelter and carrying force, based on her previous work.
Tõnis Laurson (1996) is studying graphic art at the fine art department of the Estonian Academy of Arts. He has lived in Lasnamäe for the past two years, but was not born there nor did he grow up there, therefore, it would be an exaggeration to claim he is from Lasnamäe. That said, living deep in Lasnamäe, the peculiarities of the district have influenced his work in many ways.
Tiiu Lausmaa (1989) graduated from the bachelor’s studies at the painting department of the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2018. She was 2 years old when she moved to Lasnamäe and, for her, it was her first home. She thinks, it was a good place to grow up: it wasn’t too sleek or safe, instead, you could experience real life. There were playgrounds meant for children, but the little woods and wastelands, where you could create your own world, were much more interesting.
Janne Lias (1981) is studying painting at the fine art department of the Estonian Academy of Arts. She was 10 years old, when her family moved from a Mustamäe dormitory room to a 3-room apartment in Lasnamäe with all the conveniences. While she was trying to acclimatise to Lasnamäe, Ivo Linna sang “Stop Lasnamäe!” on the radio. Janne moved away from Lasnamäe already at the beginning of the 2000s, but the awkwardness of living in the wrong place has remained.
Riin Maide (1997) is studying graphic art at the fine art department of the Estonian Academy of Arts. Riin has lived in a prefabricated building, although, in Keila, where there were precisely three buildings tall enough to require a lift. All those “Lasna” and other “mäed” (hills) seem utopic, because the buildings there really are full of people.
Vassa Ponomarjova (1984) is studying painting at the fine art department of the Estonian Academy of Arts. Vassa lived in Lasnamäe for 2 years, now she lives in Õismäe. She considers Lasnamäe to be an area separated from the rest of Tallinn – a city within a city, where the mentality is a little different to that which exists in the rest of Tallinn.

Estonian contemporary jewelry artists will exhibit their artwork at the group exhibition FOGSPEAK / UDUJUTT
From March 29 to April 18 at Art Gallery PUTTI is going to be ESTONISHING!
Estonian contemporary jewelry artists will exhibit their artwork at the group exhibition FOGSPEAK / UDUJUTT
The dense fog reduces visibility but strengthens beauty. It warns our insecurities but opens new perspectives. Fog is volatile though tangible. It allows us to feel the ethereal un gives us space to breath. Gray-toned verticals and foggy conversations will be created by a group of contemporary jewellery artists from Estonia at Art gallery PUTTI.
ESTONISHING!: 13 Estonian artists with a collective national identity background, folk traditions and history, yet they all are so distinct from one another – each with their own individual identity and character. They are like a metaphor that unifies discrete individualists, each with his or her own signature style. The only true thing that unites them is their desire to unlock their own imaginative world using jewellery as the key.
Tanel Veenre: ‘Our artisan culture is rooted in the forest. It sounds simple, but it is exactly in this feature that there is magic. The archaic yet clean wooden style is at the base of all abstraction. There is no need for noise here; whispers are loud enough.’ Estonian is the only language in the world in which the word for jewellery and sincerity is one and the same – EHE.
Thomas Cohn, a prominent Brazilian gallerist representing Galeria Thomas Cohn in San Paolo, as a bright meteor came to Tallinn to see, get to know the contemporary Estonian jewellery he had heard about. Falling in love with it, he arranged to bring it back to Brazil. Galeria Thomas Cohn premiered the ESTONISHING! jewellery exhibition at Schmuck 2016, the contemporary art jewellery event at the Munich International Skilled Trades Fair.
When asked about the title of the exhibition, Tanel Veenre, its curator, explains: ‘We had come up with several ideas, but then Thomas suggested ESTONISHING! It seemed the best fit because it was immediately clear that the participating artists came from Estonia, plus, a word written in the wrong way instinctively draws attention.’
At the core of the group are two pillars of contemporary Estonian art: Kadri Mälk, internationally renowned jewellery artist and a professor in the Jewellery Department of the Estonian Academy of Arts; and Tanel Veenre, the collective’s mouthpiece, who is also a professor in the Faculty of Design at the Estonian Academy of Arts as well as a photographer, lecturer, and member of many international exhibitions.
Each artist showing work in the exhibition is one of a kind. The artists are both united and contrasting at the same time. When looking at the jewellery that they have created, one senses that when making their pieces, these artists focus on spiritual qualities; the works on view have an introverted quality, perhaps even a touch of darkness to them – features that, just like a fixation on details, are so very characteristic of Northern peoples.
People speak about spiritual endeavors, the wish to be active outside the realm of physical reality. The ability to create noise and scraps while retaining a clear surface. The closeness of nature, the sensitivity of a fingerprint, and even if your ears are not within your field of vision, you cannot escape them.
A piece of contemporary jewellery illustrates a feeling of magic and temptation; much like a cult, nature is an intrinsic part of contemporary jewellery. It is safe to say that, having attracted the attention of the world, the jewellery artists of today’s Estonia form the foundation of the contemporary art jewellery platform. Of course, it is impossible to completely abandon form and context, yet make no mistake – an artist creates not only objects, but also the space for communication between the artwork and the person.

The Hall of Fame of the SIIL Prize opening at Showcase gallery
The Hall of Fame of the SIIL Prize 2019 will be opened in Showcase gallery (at EKKM) at 5pm on April 4th, 2019.
Artist group SIIL launches the contemporary art award – SIIL Prize.

The winner will be awarded the golden SIIL and crowned with the eternal glory and fame, also, his/her name will be carved into stone. The stone with the winner’s name will always commemorate the remarkable event on the wall of the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia.
Johannes Luik (b. 1988) focuses on the subjective describing of impressions and spaces in his artist’s practice. His artwork acquires form in various media, however always relating to space while creating a clean whole. Luik studies the subjective experiencing of materials, places, time and memories.
Nele Tiidelepp (b. 1998) artist’s practice expresses essential nudity, self-reflection, self-irony, opposition of darkness and light both in the direct and metaphorical sense, and poetry (of space). The recurrent characteristic of her work lies in the analysis of herself as a young woman and young artist.

Students: Silvia Ilves, Henri Kaarel Luht, Merilin Põldsam, Kati Masonry, Elis Rumma, Rebeka Vaino, Eliise Saar, Klarika Mäeots-Uustal, Mati Uust, Elisabeth Juusu, Joonas Timmi, Moonika Mällo, Johanna Põldemaa, Annika Ülejõe, Karl Kristian Kits.
There is opportunity to meet students and artists at the opening of the exhibition on March 28 at 21:00. The light installations remain open only on three nights, and on Sunday, Noblessner’s port city is all the same.

SIIL Prize nominee exhibition at Vent Space
SIIL Prize nominee exhibition will be opened at Vent Space project space on Saturday, 23 March 2019 at 6 pm.
SIIL Group will award the inaugural new contemporary art award, the SIIL Prize! The first nominees are Johannes Luik and Nele Tiidelepp. The artists, who work in the medium of installation, will present their work at the new Vent Space project space. The winner will be determined based on a public vote: every visitor will have the opportunity to place the name of their favourite in a ballot box at the exhibition.
The winner will be awarded a golden hedgehog (SIIL), they will receive eternal glory and fame and their name will be carved in stone. The stone bearing the name of the winner will remain on the wall of the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia to commemorate this significant event.
The exhibition will be open 24-29 March, every day 4pm-10pm. The exhibition will be ceremonially concluded with opening of stone at the Showcase Gallery (on the facade of EKKM, Põhja pst 35) on 4 April at 6 pm.
Johannes Luik (1988)describes impressions and spaces subjectively in his artistic practice. His artworks take form in different mediums and merge organically with the space. Luik tries to bring together the space and the meaning behind different topics. Recently he has been studying the subjective perception of time and memories.
Nele Tiidelepp’s(1998) artistic practice relies on notions like bareness of being, self-reflection, self-irony, the juxtaposition of darkness and light in a literal and symbolic sense, poetics (of space). Also, she analyses her identity as a young artist and a young woman.
