Artist and Curator Tour of the Exhibition Kristi Kongi: Chromatic Drift
Painter Kristi Kongi and curator Ann Mirjam Vaikla will lead a guided tour of Kumu Art Museum’s new Great Hall exhibition Kristi Kongi: Chromatic Drift. The exhibition tour will be led in English.
A large-scale solo exhibition by Estonian painter Kristi Kongi is one of the highlights of Kumu Art Museum’s anniversary year. It is the first solo exhibition by an Estonian woman artist in Kumu’s Great Hall, featuring new works created specifically for the exhibition. The exhibition Chromatic Drift reflects the artist’s inner journeys over the past few years, during which colour has served the purpose of mapping and preserving both states of mind and memories. The works feature recurring motifs of openings and passages, which reflect a sensory journey to somewhere else, a parallel world. The staircase, both as an image and as an object, gives direction for either moving forward or staying put. These empty landscapes created by Kongi do not speak of arrival, but instead draw attention to a state of in-betweenness.
This event is part of the public programme accompanying the exhibition Kristi Kongi: Chromatic Drift.
Participation is free of charge with an annual pass to the Art Museum of Estonia.
