Maarit Murka has done something that only an artist can do – she has taken her earlier works and cut them into strips to reassemble in a new way. A small snapshot or table of contents of the artist’s thirteen years of work is thus made visible here. Maarit Murka has studied painting at the Estonian Academy of Arts and the Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts, and then film at the BFM, but her paintings have been visually rather cinematic from the beginning, with their dramatic plots, dynamics, and sense of artificial light.
