Maris Paal’s “Nausea” was selected in spring from a list of eight projects. The exhibition consists of paintings and an interactive installation. In the gallery, sweetly pastel-toned mixed media works are set in contrast to unpleasant visuals of the paintings and the installation.
The exhibition consists of Maasik’s latest central photo series “Geometry and Metaphysics”, “Limen” and “Tangles”. All the images are displayed in Tartu for the first time and the images of “Tangles” have been specially selected from previously unreleased materials.

We are not so much interested in specific images, proofs, shapes or manners as in printed matter’s ability to introduce the new space …
A small shop in the suburbs of Pärnu. A barbershop in Puhja. An accounting office in Maardu. Estonia advertises itself to the world as a place where founding a company only takes a moment. Great. What about ending business activities? In the 1990s, many were glad to exploit the newly …
