Shared Experiences: Ragnar Kjartansson: A Boy and a Girl and a Bush and a Bird (in Russian) 19/09/2025 | 12:00

In September, we will visit the exhibition Ragnar Kjartansson. A Boy and a Girl and a Bush and a Bird with works by the Icelandic contemporary artist Ragnar Kjartansson. The exhibition can be viewed in Kumu’s Great Hall and in the project spaces of the third and fourth floors. It offers insights into the works of one of the most interesting and unique artists on the current international art scene. His creations are influenced by pop music, recent and older art history and, to a lesser extent, by major political dramas. Although Kjartansson’s art is highly conceptual, full of cultural references and quotes, it is also highly impactful, affecting the observer deeply and intimately.

The series “Shared Experiences” aims to create an environment that is cohesive and facilitates debate between generations. Leisurely tours introduce the permanent and temporary exhibitions of Kumu. Each tour is followed by a talk and workshop with the programme manager and invited guests at the Kumu Education Centre, where tea and biscuits will be served.
“Shared Experiences” is an excellent opportunity to meet fellow culture lovers your age, learn something new, and share your knowledge and experience with other participants and the programme managers.

Help shape a new series! At the end of each meeting, the programme manager will distribute feedback forms, where participants can write down their observations, wishes and suggestions.

Participation is free of charge with an annual pass to the Art Museum of Estonia or a Museum Card.
