We are thrilled to announce that Jaanika Peerna’s work is included in the group exhibition “Drawing Power: Children of Compost”, curated by Joana P. R. Neves at FRAC Picardie, with the vernissage tomorrow.
“Drawing Power - Children of Compost” marks the beginning of a collaboration with DRAWING NOW. The second part of the exhibition opens at Drawing Lab Paris on 26 June 2021.
This exhibition focuses on contemporary drawing in connection with the theme of ecology, combining selected artists with some of the artists from the Frac Picardie collection.
Jaanika’s “Re-Routed Flight” the first self-performing artwork by the artist. The piece was exhibited for the first time at the Tallinn Art Hall / Tallinna Kunstihoone in 2020. The origninal form of the piece is a signature wall installation by the artist, consisting of hand-cut drawing on mylar.
On Friday, 18 June at 6 pm the exhibition “Modern Love (or Love in the Age of Cold Intimacies)” will be opened at Tallinn Art Hall. The exhibition, which brings together sixteen international artists, explores the state of love and intimate relations in the age of the Internet, social media, neo-liberal capital and globalisation.
The exhibition probes the societal patterns and challenges as well as possibilities that the Internet and social media – and now the Covid-19 pandemic – present to our intimate relationships. The exhibition is curated by Katerina Gregos.
Digital technology and consumerism have significantly transformed love and social relationships. The experience of the virtual has increasingly dissolved the boundary between private and public. This influences how we communicate and interact with one another, especially with those closest to us.

Once upon a time (2016 – 2018) there used to be a sound-art and experimental music gallery Supersonicum in Viljandi. After a few years of progressive laziness we are witnessing an epic come-back of Supersonicum as a hobo-gallery. During new wave it will temporaily take over different alternative locations, transforming them into Supersonicum. First invasion will be performed in soviet time hangar, where skillful craftsmen once executed artpieces of butterfingers-artists. I know, because i witnessed it!
One day ticket 5 eur, two days ticket 8 eur. Only cash and at the door.
Lineup is prominent.

“G-Coffee” displays Tarrvi Laaman's more recent artwork and is his first solo exhibition at Staapli 3 Art Gallery.
The artist describes: “This exhibition work became full of colour and contrast like the Jamaican life. It's inspired by the people of this island and its nature, warm sun and the Caribbean Sea. The impulse came directly from its nature and local culture - I printed cannabis leaves onto plywood and added bright acrylic colours that are common to Jamaica and which flow and pulsate on the paintings like the local folk music - in the rhythm of reggae”.
Tarrvi Laamann's exhibition “G-Coffee” brings the viewers prints and paintings with optimistic impulse and reggae rhythms. Tarrvi's creative practice is versatile - he has exhibited artwork in Estonia and abroad, published books and music, and his work is in various collections in Estonia, Finland, Jamaica, China and in many more.

Anna Škodenko will open her personal exhibition “Stranger at Home” in Draakon gallery at 6pm on Wednesday, June 9th, 2021. The exhibition will be open until July 3rd, 2021.
The artist comments on her current exposition: “You are looking through the large gallery window and make the decision to step inside of a home that is unknown for you – the space of my exhibition.
The phrase “stranger at home” can refer to a stranger in somebody else’s home. It can also mean an alteration in the perception of the external world, transforming close things to something distant. It can allude to a poetic sensation of crossing the borders and facing the unknown. Or it can just happen that at home one feels stranger than in foreign countries.
From June 8 onwards a solo exhibition of Kristel Saan “Paradise – I Already Went And Came Back“ is taking place at the (AV17) gallery in Vilnius.

She has also been working for several years now for the Hollywood movie industry and created sets and artworks for big blockbuster movies.

The exhibition opening is held on Friday 4 June at 6pm. The exhibition will remain open until July 18.
The exhibition Letters from a foreign mind has been shaped by both the internal and external changes EKKM has undergone in the past year and a half, as well as contemplating on what is valued in our society and themes like scarcity, neglect and care. What is remembered, what is forgotten and what gets written into art history?
The building of EKKM has seen countless repairs and spatial renovations during its lifetime but is nevertheless tired and slowly crumbling.
