This autumn Estonian Academy of Arts is opening a new gallery space in the courtyard of Tallinn Art Hall in collaboration with the Estonian Artists’ Association.

The new EAA gallery (Vabaduse väljak 6/8, Tallinn) opens on Saturday 8th of November at 6 pm  with an exhibition of nine young artists who are studying in the academy, or have recently graduated, and have made their studies for some time abroad. The exhibition raises questions regarding boundaries as angular and disrupted phenomena, visualizing the notion that brutal generalisations are inadequate when studying individual cases.

The participating artists explore social boundaries, the construction and deconstruction of such boundaries, relational interactions in the border of space and body, and with the paradoxes of borders. By making their personal interventions more apparent the artists demonstrate that boundaries are not everlasting, but rather created and removed.

Participating artists: Alina Orav, Henri Hütt, Johanna Jõekalda, Kati Saarits, Kristel Saan, Kristina Õllek, Pille-Riin Jaik, Sten Saarits, Uku Sepsivart

Organised by Eda Tuulberg, Merilin Talumaa, Tiiu Parbus
Graphic design: Marga Berra Zubieta and Sandrine Corbin
