Consequences and Proposals, the Biennale of Young Artists, Tallinn 2007,
deals with the results of decisions made in the past and envisages
possible future directions. The artists are involved as an active creative
force whose role is to analyse and imagine, while standing between the
fragments of dispersed historiespersonal and collective, past and future.

Consequences and Proposals consists of two separate shows in one space.
The first, curated by Anneli Porri, investigates silent moments in the
recent history of the Baltic Sea region, addressing, often hushed up,
relatively underground and invisible processes in a transforming society.
This part of the exhibition questions the current state of society in the
light of subjective memory. The second part of the show, curated by Rael
Artel, proposes different approaches to imagining the immediate future,
while hesitating between optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. Originating
from the idea that all art making is political, a variety of perspectives
are envisioned through a more or less political prism.

The exhibition is an open structure filled with various positions, points
of view, propositions and opinions, rather than a clearly defined and
closed show dealing with a defined set of themes. There are no easy
take-away solutions here -- the viewer is invited to think along with us.

The show takes place in the R&uuml;&uuml;telkonna building -- an
architectural piece from the 19th century, which has served as the House
of the Knighthood, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Estonia, the National Library of Estonia, and the exhibition hall of the
Art Museum of Estonia. The venue is located in the historic precinct of
Tallinn's Old Town.

The Biennale of Young Artists, Tallinn 2007 has been commissioned and
produced by the Center for Contemporary Arts, Estonia.

Background information:

The independent NGO, Biennale of Young Artists, has initiated a pioneer
international project entitled Public Preparation, which, in parallel with
the exhibition, will form a platform for knowledge production in support
of the process of organising the biennale. Public Preparation has been
realised by Rael Artel and Airi Triisberg, and as a project will exist as
part of the exhibition via the Public Preparation Social Club (PPSC), a
space for comment, contextualizing and problematizing the key concepts and
issues of the biennale. PPSC consists of a small archive for documenting
events, as well as series of talks by artists, discussions, filmscreenings
and think tanks that link in one way or another with Consequences and
Proposals.
