Various artists
Viljandi Uue Kunsti Muuseumis
10.7.-20.8.13
Various attempts to describe freedom
This year I was slightly disappointed to discover that the always interesting exhibition series "Man & Woman" was not at both Pärnu New Art Museum and Viljandi Art Museum, only at the first one. But then I was relieved to discover still another exhibition in Viljandi, still more or less dealing with the same topics. In fact, the exhibition was spread out in different rooms in the old school building. Here are some of the highlights:
Silva Eher: Nagu midagi poleks (Like something wasn't)
Silva Eher: Helgeid Mõtteid (Bright thoughts)
*
Aleksander Pushkin (BLR): Vilnius, Saratseenlanna (Vilnius, Saraceness)
Aleksander Pushkin: Pushkin kuulab Shaljapinit + Mina, tuuleveskitega võitleja (Pushkin listens to Shaljapin + Me, the fighter of windmills)
Viktor Dashuk: documentary "Selfportrait with handcuffs"
A very interesting documentary about a unique artist, a Belarussian Don Quixote fighting against the authorities. For us it is comic when the police enter a nationalist meeting claiming there is a bomb threat and everybody need to leave the building, even if all know this is a lie. And it is touching to see how he puts up his tripod every year at the independence day to paint one day a year on his large painting, always harassed by the local authorities.
