The conference will focus on the role of Michel Sittow’s (c 1469–1525) workshop in Tallinn and its positioning in the context of the artist’s hometown and the Baltic Sea region.
Jette Loona Hermanis has been invited to interact with the exhibition “Through the Black Gorge of Your Eyes”, for which she has created a new work “Endling”, which deals with mortality and loneliness in a surreal apocalyptic environment.
The lecture by Ann M. Roberts will review the process by which the body of work associated with the master was assembled, beginning in the early 20th century
The seminar will present the latest research on Swedish late medieval art. The seminar precedes the conference Michel Sittow in the North? Artistic contacts in the late medieval Baltic region (2‒3 November 2023, Niguliste Museum).
This workshop calls to discuss the art world’s green transition in a creative and at the same time critical manner and explore it across disciplines – inviting professionals and students from art and design, conservation, curating and museology and related fields.
The exhibition focuses on the works of three Baltic women artists – Malle Leis, Maija Tabaka and Marija Teresė Rožanskaitė – in the late Soviet era of the 1970s and 1980s.
In this conversation the participants, art historians from Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, will discuss decolonial perspectives and their potential in the programmes of art institutions, museum collections and cultural heritage work in Eastern Europe.
