EXPECTATIONS

„Jewellery created for this exhibition was born through pondering what and how I expect from myself in everyday life and from my future, and what I tend to think others expect from me. Expectations often sound as sentences in my head – I either say them to myself or assume someone else to think them about me. Any one of them can be a motivation as well as a force that breaks down the will to act with its unrealisticness. There are aspirations that may seem too weak to satisfy even low expectations. There are recommendations that are given so that by listening to them the result could match (perhaps someone else’s) expectations. There are criteria that I expect only myself to fill. Trying to meet expectations can make you lose your path, clear mind, and control over yourself and your life. From the insane quantity of expectations you have to be able to find and create those colorful sparkly fragments – understandings, points, goals, moments.“

Exhibition will stay open until December 11, 2017.

The stipend laureate for “Noor Ehe 2017” is Hanna-Maria Vanaküla

Hanna-Maria Vanaküla was chosen as this year’s laureate for the “Noor ehe 2017” stipend. The award was given on the 25th of October in the Great Guild Hall.

Kadri Mälk, estonian jewellery artist and academic, introduced Hanna-Maria Vanaküla as a second year graduate student whose special interest lay in optic glass. Hanna-Maria was also the only estonian artist to be chosen to exhibit her works in the annual Schmuck jewellery exhibition in Munich.

In addition to the main prize a special award was given to Jens Andreas Clausen for his heart-shaped jewellery. The work was first exhibited in A-gallery during the exhibition of Hearts curated by Katarina Kotselainen.

The Noor Ehe stipend was founded in 2008 by Kadri Mälk who is in the jury with Tanel Veenre, Piret Hirv and Kadri Karro.

In the previous years the stipend has been awarded to Ettel Poobus, Nils Hint, Urmas Lüüs, Sofia Hallik, Darja Popolitova, Maria Valdma and Kätrin Beljaev.

CLOSE

Meeting and joy, carried by clarity. “Today I recognized myself,” said a woman before her death to her son. Silent understanding was born together with the storyteller.

The word “close” came to me two years ago. First the title of the exhibition was born. Then this was put on hold and started a life of its own. In the initial phase of planning the exhibition I observed a log, received as a gift from Pille. Its surface had a wavy movement. The pieces cut from the log showed me the direction. During the process I made several sketches that I gradually dropped and moved on. New forms developed while following my own life and activities.
