Group show AT THE END OF THE WORKDAY @Vent Space Project Space
05.08.2019 — 11.08.2019
Group show AT THE END OF THE WORKDAY @Vent Space Project Space
Vent Space
The group exhibition “At the end of the workday” will open at Vent Space project space on Monday, 5 August 2019 at 6pm. The exhibition will remain open until August 11.
Participating artists: Katrin Enni, Aksel Haagensen, Ulvi Haagensen, Hanna-Liisa Lavonen, Kaisa Maasik, Olesja Semenkova, Silvia Sosaar
This exhibition allows visitors to get to know the people behind Vent Space project space (and one invited artist). Together they tackle everyday subjects using familiar everyday methods. This is an homage to works in progress, which receive much attention especially during the summer. This is a tying up of loose ends, an appraisal of the inbetweenness.
The exhibition is open 6 – 11 August, from 12 to 6pm.
Katrin Enni (1976) lives and works in Tallinn. When she’s not working, she does everyday things. She also likes to use various everyday objects in her sound installations.
Aksel Haagensen (1993) works in Tallinn. He is interested in the telling of everyday and not-so-everyday stories and in what accompanies the telling of these stories.
Ulvi Haagensen (1964) will soon be living in Tallinn again. If making brooms and doing other preparations takes long enough, then maybe we won’t ever have to start cleaning.
Hanna-Liisa Lavonen (1994) studies and works in Tallinn. She can be found sitting phone in hand scrolling through the yoga stream on Instagram or hanging around in town, gathering inspiration.
Kaisa Maasik (1994) works mainly in Tallinn and Helsinki. While doing her everyday shopping (sometimes just walking on the street), Kaisa often finds shopping lists, which are the basis for the carpets presented at this exhibition.
Kati Ots (1993) is currently preparing to move. She’s learning to say “no”, so as to prevent a burnout. But #fomo – here she is again…
Olesja Semenkova (1992) is a woman. “Every potential has a stereotype, every stereotype is potential.” In her everyday life, Olesja finds untouched potential and conveys them in her everyday art.
Silvia Sosaar (1979) asks, “People’s opinions? How are they formed? Where do they receive confirmation for their opinions and preferences? How does a creative person search for shelter from the world?”

Rebeka Vaino ILINX EXTENDED @ Vent Space Project Space
Vent Space
The solo exhibition “ILINX extended” by Rebeka Vaino will be opened at Vent Space project space on Wednesday, July 31 at 6pm. The exhibition will be open until August 2 from 12-6pm.
According to Roger Caillois, Ilinx is a category of play defined by dizziness, vertigo; what you feel when you gallop on a half-wild horse across an empty beach or forget yourself and your surroundings while dancing in some techno club. The exhibition is inspired by the artist’s personal experiences – summers on the backs of horses as well as the endless dances in Berlin’s techno clubs. Throughout history horses have symbolised freedom, movement and desire. Due to this and the use of the horse tranquiliser ketamin in the clubs, the white horse has become the symbol of Berlin clubbers. This is why the artist chose the white horse as her starting point in the exhibition. The aim of the exhibition is to look at the relation between human and horse, people and (sexual/social) freedom and a person and their inner animal.
Ilinx is an audiovisual exhibition, which is a development of Rebeka Vaino’s graduation work, TASE ’19, Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA).
Rebeka Vaino (b. 1995) is an artist working in Tallinn and Berlin, who graduated from the painting department at EKA this spring and studied at the Berlin Academy of the Arts (UdK) 2017-2018. Vaino is an internationally active artist with group and solo shows in Berlin, Budapest and Tallinn. In her art, she focuses on the human body, a person’s primitive nature and relationship with nature in a self-portrait fashion.

PhD seminars HOW TO THEORIZE ART TODAY?
Doctoral School
Date: September 9-12 / 5 pm–8 pm
Venue: Estonian Academy of Arts, Põhja pst 7, room A301
Lecturer: Ewa Domanska
This series of seminars is based on the assumption that today art can offer the historian (as well as anthropologists, archaeologists, literary scholar, etc.) theoretical inspiration, and even an epistemological paradigm and a research program of knowledge building. Interesting cognitive models, research categories, and representations of reality can be derived from the analysis of works of art. Following Susan Sontag’s statement that “each work of art gives us a form or paradigm or model of knowing something, an epistemology,” I would claim that analysis of various types of art objects, performances and activities might help us to build an inclusive knowledge of the past. Such knowledge would be more appropriate for the planetary condition than offered, for example, by history understood as a specific approach to the past that emerged within the Greco-Judeo-Christian tradition and carries a stigma as a colonial enterprise. Thus art participates in the struggle for the epistemic justice, commenting on the problem of “epistemological dependency” of non-western scholars, and criticizing Western cognitive (artistic) imperialism. It is an important force in the development of an emergent paradigm that is post-anthropocentric, post-Western, post-secular and post-global (planetary/ cosmic).
Contemporary art is a great laboratory for the testing of various kinds of future. If indeed there is a need for realistic, responsible (local or micro) utopias in the world today, they might be developed with the help of various ways of knowing (the world). This would include not only humanities, social sciences as well as life sciences and Earth Sciences (“radical interdisciplinarity”) – which is to say, Western type of knowledge, but also include indigenous ways of knowing. The question arises as to whether the historian and the artist can offer a more positive (affirmative) scenario of the future?

Giulia Lanza VESTIGES @Vent Space Project Space
Vent Space
Giulia Lanza will present her project “Vestiges” as the final outcome of her residency at Vent Space on Wednesday, June 19 from 6 to 9pm.
During her residency at Vent Space
Italian born artist Giulia Costanza Lanza (b. 1988) is exploring the relationships that form from measuring the body and the space by experimenting with materials.
„Skin, body and organic tissues are starting points to explore the interaction between the surface of the object, its thingness, and the meaning that we attach to it. I’m currently investigating the object’s dichotomy and playing with materiality in order to give a tactile feeling. The objects dialogue with the empty space around, creating a new environment characterized by the aesthetic of fragment, meant as a tool of dissection to investigate human nature, the complexity of its patterns and metamorphosis. I try to blend together the linguistic codes of applied arts with the one of sculpture and drawing, materializing ephemeral shapes. The relationship that interweaves the body and the object that originates from it is fundamental.“

Bianca Hisse A SAFE SPACE FOR CRITICISM @Vent Space Project Space
Vent Space
On Thursday, July 18, Bianca Hisse presents ‘A Safe Place for Criticism’, the result of her residency period at Vent Space. The doors will be open from 18:00 to 21:00.
Bianca Hisse (b.1994) is a Brazilian artist based in Norway. From a continuous double movement between visual arts and dance, Hisse’s practice delves into performative strategies to reflect on how today’s societies are choreographed.
Fast-paced monologues, actions in public space, ironic manifestos, industrial materiality and other elements common to urban contexts are central in her pieces, normally employed to question the complex movement dynamics of the world. Through diagrams, performances and textual installations, Hisse asks herself what are the politics of scale between humans and their social framework, and if artistic practices can unravel new directions to what words can do – and to how our structures are moving.
Bianca Hisse has a Master in Fine Arts from Kunstakademiet i Tromsø and a Bachelor in Performing Arts from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo.

“WinLab” at EKA Gallery 05.–31.07.2019
Gallery
Join us for the opening of ”WinLab” by Mia Tamme and Paul Grünenwald on July 5 at 5 PM. Entrance to the EKA Gallery from the Kotzebue street.
WinLab Is an interactive installation about competitiveness and identity. The interaction is based on a questionnaire: The player is given two options for each question and within a limited time the player has to pick their preference. The choices of each player are recorded to generate a personality evaluation. The exhibition is open until July 31.
Mia Tamme was born and raised in Estonia, Paul Grünenwald in Germany. They are both current students of the Man and Media department at Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Mia works with moving and still images but expands her practice to designing platforms in the shape of interfaces, workshops and events. Paul has studied film and scenography, following a spatial and architectural approach, on the other hand, a theoretical side looking into political structures and participatory systems. They share an interest in pushing design beyond being merely lipstick on a pig. WinLab is their first collaborative exhibition and in many ways a search for their own practice.
The exhibition is supported by Tallinn Airport and Põhjala Brewery
