FORGETTING THE SELF

"Forgetting The Self" is an exhibition consisting of pictures by Peeter Laurits, music by Märt-Matis Lille and text by Rein Raua, which is inspired by the teachings and thoughts of the 13th century Japanese Zen thinker Dōgen. According to Dōgen, there is no kind of glorification that a person should strive for while living in this world, because every action that he performs, aware of his participation in the universe, is a form of glorification. Of course, a work of art can also become that. Whether and how Estonian creators have succeeded in this can be seen at Haus Gallery from the 7th of September.

VILEN KÜNNAPU
SUCH A CITY

Vilen Künnapu, a legendary architect and lecturer who has convincingly defined himself as a painter in recent years, is known as a dissident whose main theme and passion is the city.

The exhibition "Such a City" in Haus Gallery illustrates Vilen's characteristic world, where colors, emotions and courage speak to look at the well-known and mostly stereotypically visible urban landscape in a different way.

EDMOND ARNOLD BLUMENFELDT
DECORATIVE AVANT-GARDE
GOUACHE AND GRAPHIC ART

Edmond Arnold Blumenfeldt was one of the most mysterious Estonian artists of the 20th century. He was born in 1903 in Saint Petersburg to a merchant’s family. In the same city, he completed evening classes at art school when he was a teenager, and then moved to Berlin. While in Paris in the 1920s, he attracted considerable attention, displayed his works at an influential exhibition, and his works were featured in local art magazines. Unfortunately, only a few works from this glorious period have survived: some were destroyed in the turmoil of the Second World War, but it is highly likely that some are still in Paris.

MONUMENTAL

On painting through the big format

The new exhibition at Haus Gallery explores the format of paintings, exhibiting large and small format paintings in close proximity, based on the principle of contrast. Playing with formats creates an understanding of the possible architectural and spatial contexts that a painting can emphasise.
