http://www.biennaleofyoungartists.org> > > "Consequences and Proposals", an
exhibition of the Biennale of Young> Artists, Tallinn 2007, deals with the
results of the decisions made in> past and tries to envisage the 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
disperse histories, both personal> and collective, both past and looming.> >
Consequences and Proposals will consist of two separate shows in one> space.
The first, curated by Anneli Porri, investigates silent spots in> the recent
history of the Baltic Sea region, addressing relative, but> often hushed up,
underground and invisible, processes in a transforming> society. This part of
the show questions the current state of society in> the light of subjective
memory. The second part of the show, curated by> Rael Artel, proposes different
ways to imagining the upcoming future,> while hesitating between the most
positive and the darkest scenarios.> Departing from the thesis that all art
making is political, the possible> perspectives are envisioned through a more
or less political prism.> The exhibition will be an open structure filled with
various positions,> point of views, propositions and opinions, rather than a
clearly defined> and closed event dealing with a finished circle of topics.
There will be> no easy take-away solutions in the show - the viewer is invited
to think> with us.> > The show will take place in Rüütelkonna building - an
architectural> monument from 19th century which has served as an Inn of
Knighthood, the> Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Library, and the
National Art> Museum. The venue is located in the historical neighbourhood of
Tallinn.> > The Biennale of Young Artists is commissioned and produced by the
Centre> of Contemporary Art, Estonia.> > In parallel, the independent NGO
Biennale of Young Artists has initiated a> pioneering project, Public
Preparation, which forms a platform for> knowledge production, in support of
the process of preparing the Biennale.> Public Preparation is realised by Rael
Artel and Airi Triisberg.> > > Up to now, the following artists and artist
