The artists, who have contributed with works for the exhibition, work with many different kinds of media including sculpture, video, painting and installation, and many of the exhibited pieces are site specific and have been created to incorporate KUMU’s distinctive architectural style, which has also been the inspiration for many of the pieces.

Besides the exhibition at KUMU, several meetings will take place between young Estonian and Danish, to create and exchange new ideas and talk about contemporary art in both countries. These workshops are arranged by KUMU and The Estonian Art Academy.

Artists:
Tove Storch, Jacob Jessen, Lea Porsager, Kasper Akhøj, Rolf Nowotny, Marie Kølbæk Iversen, Tamar Guimarães, Ferdinand Ahm Krag, Torben Ribe and Jacob Kirkegaard.

Exhibition Eight Eights will present 7 versions of 8House. Villem Tomiste + Stuudio Tallinn is represented from Estonia. PROJECT BALTIA´s publisher Bart Goldhoorn has started a cooperation project between 7 architectural firms from the Baltic region. Each of them has proposed a new design for the facade. The aim of this project is to seek an answer to a question – whether it is possible to reproduce  a building in a new location. Organizers have raised a question about whether the current architectural paradigm, that concentrates on uniqueness, is regarded sustainable.

Participants: BIG (Copenhagen), ALA (Helsinki), Villem Tomiste + Stuudio Tallinn (Tallinn), Studio 44 (St Petersburg), MADE (Riga), Wingårdhs (Gothenburg), Andre Baldi (Klaipeda), Mackow (Wroslaw)

PROJECT BALTIA is planning to show Eight Eights in other cities involved during 2012. The show will be accompanied by public discussions and lectures given by participating architecture firms.

Address: The Museum of Estonian Architecture, Rotermann’s Salt Storage, Ahtri 2, Tallinn

What do you do, when four paintings, all showing the same biblical scene of Christ chasing moneylenders from the temple in Jerusalem; all apparently either made by or strongly influenced by the two famous 16th century artists Bosch and Bruegel turn up at museums in Copenhagen, Glasgow and Tallinn as well as at an auction in London?
If you are an art historian and/or expert you call your colleagues and put together an extensive research project on the four pieces. And then you exhibit the works of art as well as the findings of your research at the very same museums, using the latest in technology and story telling.

Until March 4th the four paintings as well as the results of the research process will be on display at Kadriorg Art Museum in Tallinn.
