A movement valuing slowness has begun to rear its head in the world as a counterbalance to the social model that glorifies speed. This contemporary art exhibition examines how to slow down the extremely fast pace of life, act more gradually and more calmly, and do less.
The exhibition introduces the rich history and artistic diversity of the Portuguese ceramic tiles called azulejos. The exhibition is being organised in collaboration with the National Tile Museum of Portugal. Curators: João Pedro Monteiro and Karin Vicente

Their photographic series exemplify how the camera may amplify the distance from the surrounding environment, lend voices to stones, plants and water, and make the intrinsic interlacing of natural and artificial environments visible.
This exhibition offers speculation on the spaces, objects and images that the Estonian middle class have chosen to surround themselves with and through which they have defined themselves.
