TWO\u00b2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ismini Pachi and Sander Haugas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2019Most of my days are filled with uncomfortable nonsense. If something starts with<\/em> an alarm(!)clock, it probably sets the tone for the following. It takes a cup of coffee<\/em> or 2 just to get me going and that\u2019s the most natural part of the day.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cheat our bodies and minds from dusk till dawn and there is no other way<\/em> around. No shortcut is efficient, no lunch is for free. It\u2019s all about the \u201edaily grind\u201d.<\/em> The trick is to find soft spots where they are to be found and not to bang one\u2019s<\/em> head against a brick wall, so to speak.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cWell-earned daily grind\u201d series is about the life I know, the trade I practise, the<\/em> people I love and the pleasure I get from it all. It\u2019s an ode for common sense and a<\/em> gesture of love. Always…\u2019\u2019<\/em> \u2014\u2014 Sander<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2019Most of my days are anxious and noisy. I am surrounded by people speaking<\/em> languages I don\u2019t understand, trying to mould myself to fit in the given space.<\/em> In this constant giving and taking that life requires, I need more time. I shield<\/em> myself with strength and honesty and carefully choose strong connections. It<\/em> sounds fragile but actually it\u2019s not.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craftsmanship brings me down to earth, in communication with my body. It is the<\/em> time for myself, a time to slow down and silently observe the earthy material taking<\/em> over and transforming into shapes that soothe my soul. It grounds me, connects me<\/em> with my roots, bridges the long journey I have made with the open roads ahead of<\/em> me\u2026\u201d <\/em>\u2014\u2014 Ismini<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition is a dialogue in which the artists research the limits and strength of different materials and question whether power can be crafted.Sander Haugas presents a fresh series of body pieces and objects named \u201cWell-earned daily grind\u201d. He uses techniques such as forging, brazing and upholstering and materials like steel, brass, velvet, plexiglass and an old sock. Ismini Pachi\u2019s \u201cCrafted Power\u201d is a collection of jewellery pieces and body objects. The pieces have been made using porcelain slip casting and silversmithing techniques. All the artworks have been  made in 2023 and haven\u2019t been shown before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWO\u00b2 means power. The power of two. Two cultures, two materials, two qualities, four crafting hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KERTU VELLERIND<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An exhibition is a brief pause \u2014 an opportunity to take a breath before rushing forward in life once again. Artist Kertu Vellerind\u2019s window exhibition will certainly turn heads and urge you to think with your head. Headlines have always been important to her, the titles of her work carry a strong message. As an Estonian, the artist worries about the fate of our small nation’s mother tongue and enjoys the beautiful sound and multivalence of this language. Thus, her jewellery titles are cleverly infused with wordplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vellerind has explained that she mostly uses silver and \u201cpeakivi\u201d (a play on \u201cpaekivi,\u201d meaning limestone, but literally reads \u201cheadstone\u201d) in her exhibition works. According to her, “peakivi” is incredibly beautiful, multifaceted, and we should be proud of it. Likewise, the artist does not shy away from Estonia’s national jewellery heritage. Allegedly, to draw inspiration, she speeds around on spoked coin pendant wheels and occasionally gets lost in the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kertu Vellerind<\/strong> (1967) creates charmingly witty Estonian jewellery art. In 1997, she obtained a master’s degree from the Estonian Academy of Arts, specializing in metal art. She has additionally studied in Finland and Germany. Since 1995, the artist has been working as a freelancer and is a member of the Estonian Artists’ Association and the Estonian Association of Metal Artists. Vellerind has participated in numerous group exhibitions both in Estonia and abroad, including Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Iceland, Belgium, Italy, and the United States.  In her own words, she mostly enjoys organizing solo exhibitions every five years, when a round number comes up once again. She has been recognized in several international competitions, and in 2018, she and Urve K\u00fcttner were awarded the Ede Kurrel Prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
