The artists are<br>> involved as an active creative force whose role is to analyse and imagine,<br>> while standing between the fragments of disperse histories, both personal<br>> and collective, both past and looming.<br>> <br>> Consequences and Proposals will consist of two separate shows in one<br>> space. The first, curated by Anneli Porri, investigates silent spots in<br>> the recent history of the Baltic Sea region, addressing relative, but<br>> often hushed up, underground and invisible, processes in a transforming<br>> society. This part of the show questions the current state of society in<br>> the light of subjective memory. The second part of the show, curated by<br>> Rael Artel, proposes different ways to imagining the upcoming future,<br>> while hesitating between the most positive and the darkest scenarios.<br>> Departing from the thesis that all art making is political, the possible<br>> perspectives are envisioned through a more or less political prism.<br>> The exhibition will be an open structure filled with various positions,<br>> point of views, propositions and opinions, rather than a clearly defined<br>> and closed event dealing with a finished circle of topics. There will be<br>> no easy take-away solutions in the show - the viewer is invited to think<br>> with us.<br>> <br>> The show will take place in Rüütelkonna building - an architectural<br>> monument from 19th century which has served as an Inn of Knighthood, the<br>> Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Library, and the National Art<br>> Museum. The venue is located in the historical neighbourhood of Tallinn.<br>> <br>> The Biennale of Young Artists is commissioned and produced by the Centre<br>> of Contemporary Art, Estonia.<br>> <br>> In parallel, the independent NGO Biennale of Young Artists has initiated a<br>> pioneering project, Public Preparation, which forms a platform for<br>> knowledge production, in support of the process of preparing the Biennale.<br>> Public Preparation is realised by Rael Artel and Airi Triisberg.<br>> <br>> <br>> Up to now, the following artists and artist groups have confirmed their<br>> participation:<br>> <br>> Akvile Anglickaite, Coolturistes, Nanna Debois-Buhl, Evelina Deicmane and<br>> Theo Mercier, Gintaras Didziapetris, Nathalie Djurberg, Merike Estna, Elin<br>> Hansdottir, Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, Emma Kihl,<br>> Karl Larsson, Jouzas Laivys, Johanna Lecklin, Rudolfas Levulis, Andreas<br>> Mangione and Hanna Dagerskog, Marge Monko, John Phillip Mäkinen, Tanja<br>> Muravskaja, Kristina Norman, Stas Polnarev, Karol Radziszewski, Alexander<br>> Raevski, R.E.P.
