Konrad Mägi in Close-up is based on Darja Jefimova’s master’s thesis, which includes documentation on approximately thirty Konrad Mägi paintings and which she defended at the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2023.
The painter Tõnis Saadoja’s solo exhibition Height Above Sea Level is part of the museum’s environmental programme Art in the Age of the Anthropocene in summer 2023.
The exhibition focuses on the work of the Baltic artists Malle Leis, Maija Tabaka and Marija Teresė Rožanskaitė in the late Soviet context of the 1970s and 1980s.
The exhibition focuses on the dialogue that emerged between the Italian Transavantgarde movement and the Estonian artists who founded the group Rühm T in the mid-1980s. At the core of this dialogue are opposition and the art of painting.
