Siim Preiman mõtiskles näituse teemal!
"Näitusega „ida ots(as)“ ei võetud peaeesmärgiks idaline eestlusse „tagasi tuua“. Pigem käiakse üle rahvusliku identiteedi retsepti eri aspektid: millest mõne üle võiks rohkem uhkust tunda, mõne alustuseks vaiba alt välja tõmmata ja mõne, pakuksin, isegi maha kanda.

Teoste esitletud kuvandid (ida)eestlusest erinevad üksteisest niisamuti, nagu erinevad ettekujutused idast kui sellisest endistes idabloki riikides."

Näitus „ida ots(as)“ Põhjala tehases 13. – 30. VIII. Kuraator Maria Helen Känd, kunstnikud Alexei Gordin, Madlen Hirtentreu, Flo Kasearu, Sandra Kosora

Marija Nemčenko looks back on our exhibition through the motif of the potato 🙌

A farm worker greets Josef Stalin at his potato farm. “Comrade Stalin, we have so many potatoes that, piled one on top of the other, they would reach all the way to God,” the farmer excitedly tells his leader. “But God does not exist,” replies Stalin. “Exactly,” says the farmer. “Neith...

This topic was selected because Maria Helen Känd, the curator of this exhibition, believes that we need more time, conversations, and opportunities to share our positions and opinions about this highly complex occurrence.
