Art Walk. Ragnar Kjartansson: A Boy and a Girl and a Bush and a Bird
Drop-in guided tour in English
The Kumu Art Museum offers you a great opportunity to spend your leisure time in a vibrant artistic space. On the last Sunday of every month, we offer a special drop-in guided tour that will introduce one of our exhibitions. Through our museum mediators, you can gain deeper insight into art and history.
The first Estonian solo exhibition of the Icelandic video artist and painter Ragnar Kjartansson (b. 1976) consists of six large works from 2004–2025. A Boy and a Girl and a Bush and a Bird provides insight into the oeuvre of one of the most fascinating and idiosyncratic artists in the contemporary international art scene. His art has been influenced by pop music, recent and classic art history and, in a less straightforward way, by political upheavals. Although his works are highly conceptual, i.e. full of cultural connotations and quotes, Kjartansson’s oeuvre is truly affective, touching the viewer strongly and very intimately.
Facebook eventThe meeting point is at the museum ticket office.
