Shallow Springs

Kohta’s director Anders Kreuger and the artists Jaakko Pallasvuo and Miša Skalskis have selected twelve artists <p>Kohta’s director Anders Kreuger and the artists Jaakko Pallasvuo and Miša Skalskis have selected twelve artists, three each from Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Some of them may be considered ‘young’ or ‘emergent’ while others are better described as ‘mid-career’. There is also one more established artist from each country.</p><p>Kohta decided that showing Finnish and Baltic artists together makes sense as a demonstration of solidarity during a war that deeply impacts this part of the world. This is both pragmatic and emotional. And when Kohta anyway makes a ‘geopolitical’ exhibition, it may just as well use a simple model of equivalence as a token of mutual respect: the same amount of artists for all countries involved.</p><p>Artists: Gabrielė Adomaitytė, Māris Ārgalis, Milla Aska, Marikki Hakola, Madlen Hirtentreu, Elvyra Kairiūkštytė, Miska Kukkohovi, Daria Melnikova, Rait Prääts, Anna Škodenko, Viktor Timofeev, Justinas Vilutis.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kohta Taidehalli</p><p>13.4.-22.6.2023&nbsp;</p><p>Tue-Fri 12.00-18.00</p><p>Sat-Sun 12.00-16.00</p><p>Opening party 12.4. &nbsp; 18.00-20.00</p><p>Free entry</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>‘Shallow Springs’ was organised in collaboration with Lithuania’s cultural attaché in Sweden, Finland and Denmark, with support from the Lithuanian Culture Institute.</p>
