Exhibition Living Space. Contemporary Estonian Art
Exhibition Living Space is an exciting project that has emerged as part of global festivities of Estonia's centenary of nationhood, bringing together the Victorian and Australian Estonian community.
The exhibition runs from Thursday 15th March to Sunday 8th April, 2018 and celebrates contemporary Estonian art by women artists exploring the perception and interpretation of the body's experience of space and the roles or rituals subconsciously performed, which give meaning to our living space.
