The Pärnu Art Summer is a festival with long traditions. The first Art Summer took place in 1995, and throughout this long period, most of the great figures of the Estonian art world have participated in the event. Three years ago, two new, and more international, exhibition series called Woman & Woman and Man & Man were born under the auspices of the Art Summer.

The idea of curators Marian and Jan Leo Grau was to introduce an exhibition format to accompany the body and beach rituals and nude culture of the resort town that would present different points of view regarding gender issues. Woman & Woman and Man & Man are not traditional exhibitions of nudes – the artists selected for the exhibition reveal their interpretations of gender identity, and try to make sense of the various positions of women and men in modern society, with each interpreting the features of masculinity or femininity in their own way.
Woman&Woman
Curator: Marian Grau
Participating artists: Sandra Jõgeva, Lisette Lepik, Maarit Murka, Sirje Runge, Kadi Reintamm, Lilia Li Mi Yan
