02.07.-22.07. Exhibition THE IDEAL LANDSCAPE

Contemporary jewellery. 
Six metal art graduates from the Estonian Academy of Arts present a joint exhibition to show their recent individual works. The unity of the works transforms into a kind of ideal landscape which may be defined here firstly as a modern art field, where authors relate themselves with their works. Secondly the landscape can be understood as the concurrence of the materials, colors, shapes, and structures reflected in the artists work. Certainly, the ideal landscape is different and special for every creative person – it is more a condition than anything visually perceptual.
How can one describe the similarities between the works in this seemingly different-looking group and what distinguishes them from the other artist works and schools of thought in the field of art jewellery? One feature is the focus on people (often the author himself), his immediate surroundings, and his feelings: household, homesickness, the bad and the good, birth and death, and his own reflection ... Secondly - the idea ruling over matter. Despite the diversity of materials - wood, silver, birchbark, rubber, copper, plastic, gold, textiles, etc. - there is no place for apparency. 
Despite the fact that for years the game on the edge of the applied and visual arts, has been a driving characteristic for these creators of the ideal landscape, it has also been self-explanatory for them to handle art jewellery as a protest against the traditional forms. The question is not about the form. Without wishing to agree with either side, the confrontation is an attempt to oppose those, who’s convulsive strive to maintain the elitist conception of the jewellery art further deepens the understanding of borders in art. 
The ideal landscape is a mix of conditions and "images" – it is different for each author and for each viewer.

24.07.-13.08. NEW OLD LOOK
Association of Fashion Designers exhibition, curators A. Metsis, A. Hint, L. Leskin.
The title of the exhibition “New Old Look” derives from Christian Dior’s collection from 1947. Our "new look" is a contemporary one and is radically different from that of C. Dior’s.
We propose an architectonic collection on the torsos, which plays with novel form solutions.
A final finish is given to the models by spraying paint on them, which is similar to how  Alexander McQueen’s collection was completed in 1999.
By doing so we combine the fashion design techniques of the two departed fashion designers. The dyeing process will be captured on film and will be put on display for visitors to see.

14.08.-31.08. Exhibition "on ira marcher sur Mars"/ "We will walk on Mars"  
Antoine Lejolivet  and Nicolas Schneider (France).
Nicolas Schneider and Antoine Lejolivet have been having exhibitions projects as a duet, being the road since September 2010, going from Nancy to Metz via Strasbourg in the North-Est of France. As a end to the journey, "they are going to walk on Mars" at the Ewald Okas Muuseum, in Haapsalu, Estonia.

After experiencing together on three previous exhibitions consisting of a "polyform" drawing work, confronting the produced pieces by hanging them.

Antoine Lejolivet and Nicolas Schneider will, with this project at the Ewald Okas Muuseum in Haapsalu (Estonia) "We will walk on Mars", challenge themselves in a new time-space dimension. They will produce all the exhibition art works, together and simultaneously directly in a same place, in a given time.
