empty-image — Kaja Kärner. Composition with a Clock. 1955–1959. Art Museum of Estonia

Kaja Kärner (1920–1998) was one of the central figures in the legendary Tartu circle of friends, the first informal group of artists in post-World War II Estonia. She created abstract compositions with a good sense of rhythm and colour, collages and genre paintings which capture the overall tonality of the era with subtle shades of colour and hidden irony.

Vello Vinn. Time. 1977. Etching. Art Museum of Estonia

A movement valuing slowness has begun to rear its head in the world as a counterbalance to the social model that glorifies speed. This contemporary art exhibition examines how to slow down the extremely fast pace of life, act more gradually and more calmly, and do less.

Peeter Mudist. The Asker’s Stone. 1985. Granite. Art Museum of Estonia

The exhibition explores the ways stones and rocks have provided inspiration to stonemasons, painters and jewellery artists in different eras. If we listen intently, stones can tell us ancient stories and introduce us to characters whose voices have been silent for a long time.
