“This time, the artists’ perspectives have slipped to the edges of the city. These are the places where the city begins, or where it ends, depending on how you look at it. The motifs originate from suburbs and badlands, but also from complete abstraction or a fading memory or from just right here, the corner of the eye. Foundscape marks a landscape that, much like wasteland, has somehow been overlooked or abandoned. But instead of being lost to us, it exists as a total opposite to the latter: suddenly something new is found here,” explain the exhibition’s curators.
“Urban Utopia” is a series of group exhibitions that began in the summer of 2024. Behind it is a self-organised collective of graphic artists from different generations and backgrounds. The result are exhibitions that combine masterfully executed traditional graphics with figurative and technical experimentation.
The exhibition features Britta Benno, Lauri Koppel, Riin Maide, Mark Antonius Puhkan, Lilli-Krõõt Repnau, Helen Tago, Liis Tedre, Kadri Toom, Vello Vinn and Marje Üksine.
Exhibition organisation and curatorial team: Liis Tedre and Riin Maide

The exhibition is being supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
