MENOPAUSAL LIDO
Kadi Estland
X
On Thursday, October 31st, at 18.00, Kadi Estland‘s exhibition Menopausal Lido will open at Hobusepea Gallery. The rap group Nancy Nakamura Räpipunt, known for incorporating texts from Kadi Estland’s 2016 online poetry collection Curriculum Vitt, will perform at the opening event.
Kadi Estland: “I aimed to depict the concealed violence and misogyny that permeate our culture, something we endure as if it were a chronic illness. It’s like a predator, always lurking, occasionally surfacing to strike. Much of classical art addresses issues created by men. I believe it’s a widely shared experience that middle-aged and older women face their absence in cultural representation. Menopausal Lido was born out of a subtle sense of anger and frustration.”
Thank you: Sirje Rump, Nancy Nakamura Räpipunt, Reet Soosalu, Rainer Kattel, Rebeka Põldsam, Aet Kuusik, Tatjana Raidmets, Artur Raidmets.
The exhibition will remain open until November 25, 2024.
The exhibition is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.

Based in London and Tallinn, Estland graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts in 1997 and has participated in numerous exhibitions in Estonia and internationally.
Jenny Grönholm (1988) mainly focuses on painting in her artist's practice and depicts daily motifs of animals and people in her life. These otherwise bright details of her everyday have been enshrouded by steadfast melancholy colours, thus turning the artwork seemingly inaccessible and unreliable for the viewers. Scenes in her paintings rather tend to have the effect of emerging memories than real situations. Her work is often formed into series representing one and the same repetitive motif, thus emphasizing even more the chronological indetermination and impossibility to escape the dreamlike situation. Despite the uncannily monotonous daily life depicted in Grönholm's work, the effect is not oppressive but rather soothingly peaceful if one accepts the repetitive pattern. Jenny Grönholm has obtained BA degree in the department of printmaking and MA degree in the department of installation and sculpture at the Estonian Academy of Arts. She has taken part in personal and group exhibitions both in Estonia and abroad. Currently living and working in Virtsu and Tallinn, combining her artist's practice with observing the roe deer.

TALKS WITH A TIGER
Killu Sukmit
X
On Thursday, October 31, at 6 p.m., Killu Sukmit’s exhibition “Talks with a Tiger” will open at Draakon gallery. The opening will be accompanied by a live music performance by Hello Upan & Killu Sukmit. The exhibition will remain open until November 23, 2024.
Killu Sukmit’s exhibition deals with feminist folklore in fairy tales. In the 17th century, Baroness Marie Catherine D’Aulnoy coined the term conte de fée (fairy tale). The earliest fairy tales served as feminist critiques of patriarchy, exposing behaviors that oppressed and degraded women. D’Aulnoy and other female authors of the time mixed elements of pseudo-history, autobiography and adventure in their stories.
Stories by the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault and the family policy platforms of conservative parties also offer an endless trove of patriarchal fairy tales. The original versions of these so-called classic fairy tales often feature particularly brutal violence against women. These tales were drawn from real life and intended to serve as moral lessons, but justice within them is notably biased. It seems that in order to change these macho fairy tales, real life itself must change first.
The works in Killu Sukmit’s exhibition Talks with a Tiger tell stories of an emancipated wind, a great grandmother who was a sound artist and a 12th-century feminist activist tiger. Was the Venus of Milo posing as a warrior, a mother holding a child or spinning yarn? Cinderella embodies all of these roles as she peers through the looking class. The exhibition primarily features embroidery, also including sound.
The works draw inspiration from a variety of fairy tales, including Madame D’Aulnoy’s Cunning Cinders and The Hind in the Wood, Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald’s The Orphan’s Hand-Mill and Goldspinners, Donald Bisset’s Talks with the Tiger and Other Tales, Italo Calvino’s Miss North Wind and Mr. Zephyr, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Princess and the Pea, Emil Kolozsvári Grandpierre’s The Magic Flute and The Princess Dancing on Razors, and Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.

Madlen Hirtentreu (1993) works mainly with sculpture, installations and performances. Primal horizon, brutality, repetition and clinical conditions intrigue her, a tiny dose of each might be the recipe. The eeriness of the unknown which in close up reveals signs of fragility by opening up new readings and meanings in untied time. Her technique can be described as a Frankenstein-like combination of technology and body horror, where the abject and the mechanical system function as a unified tandem. The absurd, seemingly messy and eclectic choice of material serves as a document and carrier of emotions.
