There will be tea and coffee ☕️
You are warmly invited!
The exhibition Works On Balance, Fragment, Loneliness by Karel Koplimets, Ruudu Ulas and Tarvo Varres will remain open until 12 April.
Karel Koplimets often works with the themes of urbanity, paranoia, prejudice and criminality. His recent works analyze loneliness and fears associated with it.
Ruudu Ulas focuses on the dynamics between individuals and their environment, highlighting the tensions and glitches that emerge at the intersection of public and personal spaces.
Tarvo Varres researches the concepts of non-self and nonlinear time in his work. In recent years, Varres has created spatial installations and text based works that revolve around the themes of silences, loss and contemporary taboos, while considering questions of the fragile and the fragmentary.
Samantha Bankston, PhD, is a philosophy scholar in Stockholm. Her research focuses on metaphysics in 19th and 20th century Continental philosophy, especially the aesthetic ontology of Gilles Deleuze. She is the author of Deleuze and Becoming and a translator for The Deleuze Seminars. At present, her writings explore the destituent time of metaphysics; a re-articulation of geologic time; and in collaboration with artist Tarvo Varres, the notion of fragile metaphysics.
FOKU Gallery is the showroom and community space of the Estonian Union of Photography Artists in Tallinn Old Town. FOKU Gallery is supported by Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
