ENKKL space takeover „Together, We’re Warmer“

The 19th season of the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (EKKM) will conclude with a group exhibition by The Young Contemporary Art Association (ENKKL) entitled “Together, We’re Warmer” which explores various aspects of working, being, and sticking together in both content and form. As part of the exhibition, which opens on November 14, the museum will be entrusted for a month to 31 young artists, who will take over EKKM’s exhibition spaces, public program, communication channels, and facade.

The slogan “Together, We’re Warmer” has accompanied ENKKL from the very beginning – both as a friendly greeting and farewell, and as something much deeper. Solidarity as a practice that supports art characterizes the association’s activities to date. The group exhibition “Together, We’re Warmer” also focuses on cooperation and co-creation. The members of the association have been divided into groups by raffle, and eight new collectively created works of art will be on display on the three floors of EKKM.

The large-scale exhibition, organized jointly, will be opened with a press conference. During the exhibition, performative tours, a cultural policy debate, a workshop on amendments to Tallinn’s coalition agreement, a Love Cabinet party for all disillusioned singles, a reading group, and a quiz will take place.

The collective, who has been compared to the literary group Young Estonia group from the beginning of the 20th century, aims to dismantle the museum walls together with its institutional constraints, heal wounds and fill the seasonally depressed hearts with light and warmth. The artist-run-do-it-yourself project space takes on a whole new dimension. Unique artistic experiences guaranteed.

Participating artists: Karl Joonas Alamaa, Karola Ainsar, Kärt Heinvere, Irma Holm, Erik Hõim, Kadri Joala, Saara Liis Jõerand, Liisa-Lota Jõeleht, Katariina Kesküla, Kärt Koppel, Nele Kurvits, Johannes Luik, Elisa Margot Winters, Loora Kaubi, Marto Mägi, Daria Morozova, Katariin Mudist, Anna Ovtšinnikova, Kertu Rannula, Johanna Reinvald, Mia Maria Rohumaa, Raahel Rüütel, Inessa Saarits, Lisette Sivard, Sonja Sutt, Annabel Tanila, Aimur Takk, Margaret Tilk, Elo Vahtrik, Nelli Viisimaa, Rebeca Žukovitš.
