Tartu Art House, Tartu, Etonia
January 25 – February 16, 2020
The exhibition was a continuation of two earlier joint projects of artist Laura Põld and poet Katrin Väli: “Natural Shelter” (2019, Fiskars Village Art and Design Biennial, curator Jenni Nurmenniemi) and “Burrows. Flights” (2019, Hobusepea Gallery, Tallinn). The installation consisted of Põld’s ceramic objects and sculptures, display cases containing supporting literature and Väli’s poems. Unlike the previous projects, the fragments from poems had a more organic appearance and therefore related more closely with the rest of the exhibition.
