8.5.-26.6.11
Kunstihoone, Tallinn
This exhibition brings up the topic of being different, especially being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transsexual. Still a quite controversial topic in Estonia, this large exhibition has got a positive reception. Most of the works are videos; documentaries, field studies and interviews.
I found the works by Liisi Eelmaa & Minna Hint, and the works by Minna Hint the most interesting. These counterpieces show the opposide points of view. On one hand is interviews with different Estonians that have been visible in the public with their views against different lifestyles. On the other hand is Mare Tralla's touching diary of her difficulties discovering and pronouncing that she is a lesbian. To loosen up a bit, Flemming Rolighet's word plays with brand names completes the exhibition.
Liisi Eelmaa & Minna Hint: Heard story
Flemming Rolighet: Often Straight + Tobehomo
Mare Tralla: Written into space
Mare Tralla: Diary
