About
The artist Kristi Kongi will lead a guided tour of the exhibition Kristi Kongi: Chromatic Drift exhibited in the Great Hall .
The painter Kristi Kongi’s large-scale solo exhibition is one of the highlights of the Kumu Art Museum’s anniversary year. It is the first solo exhibition by an Estonian woman artist in Kumu’s great exhibition hall, featuring new works created specifically for this event. The exhibition Chromatic Drift reflects the artist’s inner journeys over the past few years, during which colour has served the purpose of mapping and preserving both states of mind and memories. The works feature recurring motifs of openings and passages, which reflect a sensory journey to somewhere else, a parallel world. The staircase, both as an image and as an object, gives direction for either moving forward or staying put. These empty landscapes created by Kongi do not speak of arrival, but instead draw attention to a state of in-betweenness.
This event is a part of the public programme of the exhibition Kristi Kongi: Chromatic Drift.
Participation is free of charge with annual passes to the Art Museum of Estonia and Kumu Art Museum.
