FOKU’s new project manager is Hedi Jaansoo. Our previous project manager Kaisa Maasik has started a new job as a gallerist at EKA gallery.
Hedi Jaansoo (1989) is an Estonian artist and a photographer based in Tallinn. She graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts in Contemporary Art (MA, 2018) and Photography (BA, 2014). She also studied at Bergen Academy of Art and Design (2012/13). Jaansoo works with fragilities, weaknesses, tensions and beauties, among other – mainly small – things. Her recent work combines photography, flowers, textiles and vases, non-functional jewellery, unfinished thoughts and uncertain decisions, (be)longing and acceptance. She is inspired by grandmothers and tries not to harm the environment too much. She has worked as a secretary at Estonian Artists’ Association and is a guest lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts. In 2023 she was an artist in residence at WIELS, Brussels.
