The 15th Tallinn Graphics Triennial will be held at the Kumu Art Museum. The ‘For Love, Not Money’ exhibition will look at contemporary graphics in the broader context of the creation of and trends in modern art.
The title refers to a theme which incorporates a number of definitions, including addiction, list, dedication, obligation, family, love, passion, objectification, romance, religion, political ties and sex. The project will be attempting to reflect current trends in modern art, set against the backdrop of the global financial crisis, and to examine problems associated with the creation, exhibiting and reception of art in this context.
Contributing to the exhibition will be 51 invited artists and 63 additional artists who won places as part of a fiercely contested international competition. Part of the main exhibition will showcase the work of the grand prix winner from the last triennale, Colombian artist Óscar Muñoz. The triennale also traditionally shines the spotlight on art from the Baltic States, maintaining the fundamental identity of the event through the participation of artists from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The exhibition will focus on the latest trends in modern art, including video, performance, photography and print media.
In addition, Kumu will also host works by grand prix winners from the Ljubljana graphics biennale – the oldest international event of its kind – as part of ‘Mapping’, an exhibition created by biennale curator Lilijana Stepančič.
