The exhibits include Lapin’s well-known series Processes (1980-1995, Art Museum of Estonia) and Rhythms on the Sphere (1992, private collection). A selection of texts and poems by Leonhard Lapin also forms an integral part of the exhibition.
“Seeing the sparkling sunlight reflected on the windows of the Art Hall, I do feel that the Sun rises from the Art Hall, the Temple of Art. And it also sets there, to later rise again,” Leo wrote on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Tallinn Art Hall. Even though his bursts of generosity and tenderness may have been preceded and followed by cursing and imprecation, we all knew that Leo was like Life itself – in a constant, often contradictory flow. Keep flowing with passion and peace, Leo! We will cherish your legacy!” curator Tamara Luuk comments on the soon to open memorial exhibition.
