Is There Hope for Lovely Creatures?
鈥淚s There Hope For Lovely Creatures?鈥�, asks the opening exhibition of Tallinn Art Hall鈥檚 Lasnam盲e Pavilion, which focuses on the inner world of women, the most fragile yet bravest members of society.
The main starting point for the exhibition is the honest and personal reactions of Estonian- and Russian-speaking artists to trust and climate crises, wars and pandemics, the imbalance in traditional family relationships and what the tensions caused by them have transformed into in our innermost feelings. Maintaining balance on such a fluctuating terrain, a woman and her sensitive skin leave a particularly strong impression.
鈥淏eing the first exhibition at Tallinn Art Hall鈥檚 Lasnam盲e Pavilion, Is There Hope For Lovely Creatures? seeks to access the distinctiveness of the creative impulses of Russian-speaking artists in Estonia. Speaking about womanhood, man, insofar as he belongs to the woman鈥檚 world, is more present in their works than in those by their Estonian sisters. Therefore, it is not by coincidence that it is Alexei Gordin with his videos from 2012 and 2013 who documents the sometimes painful wanderings of a young Russian woman in the local memoryscapes, turning them it into a complete whole,鈥� says Tamara Luuk, curator of the exhibition.
