Notes on Fossils, Ruins and Difficult Objects
2024 12 27 / Geistė Marija Kinčinaitytė
The exhibition ‘Form as Function’, curated by Paulius Petraitis, presents a group of Estonian artists, Paul Kuimet, Kristina Õllek and Ruudu Ulas, who approach photography as a form of dialogue between materiality and conceptual exploration. In these artists’ photographic practices, we encounter the concept of form as an active element, integral to the making of meaning. As we move through the gallery space, we are invited to re-imagine photography as a medium that allows us not only to see the world, but also to interact with it critically and materially, moving through the folds of the surface image, where thought and matter come together to form a concept, a shape, or a feeling.
An interview with Ieva Maslinskaitė
2024 09 03 / by Marija Martinaitytė
The ecological crisis is a looming problem that permeates everything and is also echoed in contemporary art. We are seeing a lot of exhibitions, works, and projects that address the ecological crisis in some way or seek possible solutions. Very often they are representational, especially in photography, because it is, of course, inseparable from representation. But this raises the question of how we represent nonhuman others and the environment.
