553.t1.jpg Liis Koger and Kärt Hammer at Swedbank

Starting in November, a double exhibition of paintings by young artists Liis Koger and Kärt Hammer, curated by the Haus Gallery, will be on display in the private banking rooms of Swedbank’s headquarters. The abstract poetic style of the works functions cognitively rather than narratively, while at the same time the skill of both authors in the use of words is something that further complements their colourful artistic philosophy.

555.t1.jpg Gone with the Wind. From Barcelona to Haus Gallery

"After spending two years sniffing around Barcelona with Spot, I poked my nose in through the doors of the Haus Gallery and was greeted by Piia Ausman and a familiar grin: “Well, are you and Spot coming to work for me?”

I wasn’t left with a lot of room to think.

The road leading to this building has been a familiar one to me for many years, and even though being away for two years has smashed any sort of concept of Tallinn as a familiar place, my relationship with Haus hasn’t disintegrated over time.

And here we are – a warm, familiar nest where I can keep myself warm, away from the long forgotten grey and cold outside.

545.t1.jpg Miljard Kilk. Reality – inside or outside?

An exhibition of the paintings of a distinguished Estonian hyperrealist, the uniquely original and highly cherished Miljard Kilk, is on display at Haus Gallery until October 21. The surrealistic figure compositions with mythological and religious undertones represent the artist’s creation over the last few years, providing an intimate insight into his inner world. Miljard Kilk’s present world appeals to both the viewer’s inner sense as well as their cognition of the outside world, suggesting there is no other reality but what we make ourselves.

543.t1.jpg Young and old Venus. Sirje Runge and the early works of her contemporary female artists

The moment when Sirje Runge stepped into the world of art was, and still is, very meaningful, enchanting. The 60s were accompanied by a certain spirit of freedom, latent protest, hidden irony towards the ruling ethics, secretly planting deplored things into the art columns of such a world, a little bit of erotics, more geometry, a hint of romance and dreams, practically timeless and unpretentious things. Now, looking back at that time through the prism of art, which, in a word, maps the emotional history of mankind, we smile a bit because now we see those things that used to be hidden freely.

538.t1.jpg The appropriateness of modern art in a historic manor interior

Art has been an inseparable part of manor interiors. Due to their representative function, manor houses had to be luxuriously furnished. Manor lords displayed numerous works of artistic value, which had to convey the owner’s wealth and patronage. Walls were covered by paintings and interiors were overflowing with works. The portraits of forefathers and landscapes could be found inside of gold frames lavishly decorated with ornaments. The majority of the former grandeur has since disappeared. Despite that fact, manor ensembles have retained their dignity because of their historic heritage.

535.t1.jpg Shared world. The Baltic states in Europe, through the prism of art.

I honestly have to admit that the subject of the Baltic states has always been a source of intrigue and questions for me. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania!? A neighbourly and common part of the Baltic Sea. Geographical proximity, a market divided in many ways, branches and retail chains of the same companies in each of the country’s capitals. Joint discussions, possible shared economic and cultural platforms, parallel groups, and also some exhibitions. However, it seems that emotionally everyone stands on their own.

534.t1.jpg Venice Biennial – living myth

In the world of contemporary art, the Venice Biennial is one keyword that everyone knows. Representation at the Biennial is a kind of national duty and opportunity, just like the Olympics or Eurovision. It is a landmark, used to measure the maturity and status of the artist and the country he/she represents.

525.t1.jpg Art in restaurants

Art and taverns have in some ways been linked throughout the centuries. Taverns, restaurants and cafés are places for communication, places for meeting up, places that create an atmosphere where many artists, writers and musicians have stood for their principles, let their ideas fly, and found people who think the same way.

521.t1.jpg Seven different moments of spring with Meru

A month ago, Marko Mäetamm, inspired by Yulian Semyonov, drew a comic on the topic of "Seventeen Moments of Spring", one moment amongst others being "the shooting in London". One can fortunately say that the capital of the UK offers different moments as well – moments in the midst of art. While one has to escape from the bullets, then art is often something, which, in spite of escaping, blossoms vernally.

518.t1.jpg How to evaluate artistic photography? The nine lives of gold medallist Tõnu Noorits

Kaupo Kikkas, photographer

Photographer Tõnu Noorits is a great example of dedication to photography. With his works and artistic achievements Noorits convinces us to take a real look at the art of photography. To see its aesthetic capacity in delivering a message that is deeper than just a moment captured in time. Noorits has been thoroughly engaged with a very wide range of topics in photography. His staged photography deserves a special mention in its simultaneous spontaneity and organisation.
