Attires and Attitudes at Tartu Art Museum






On Thursday, 4 September at 5 pm Pilvi Takala`s solo show “Attires and Attitudes” will open at Tartu Art Museum, Estonia.

For Tartu Art Museum, showing contemporary art by the most important artists from our neighbouring countries, alongside our own collection of Estonian contemporary art  has developed into a tradition. This year we have chosen Pilvi Takala from Finland, one of the most distinctive and productive artists amongst the younger generation active and in the international art scene today.

This exhibition at Tartu Art Museum is Pilvi Takala’s first comprehensive solo exhibition in the context of an art museum and it is a great honour and pleasure for us to host her and to produce this exhibition.


The exhibition “Attires and Attitudes” is accompanied by a publication that contains an interview with Pilvi Takala about her practices of art and life. 32 pages, in English and Estonian.

Five Star Bouncy House is out!

Fivestarbouncyhouse.blogspot.com




Five Star Bouncy House, the culmination of PilviTakala's 2013 Emdash Award project is ready. Takala gave her award budget to a group of 8-12 year-olds from Eastside Youth Centre in Bow, East London aiming to explore the social processes behind decision making. The committee of children decided to design and manage a Five Star Bouncy House which was unveiled at a community event on 23 August. And the fun doesn't stop there! You can also hire the Bouncy House for your own event, directly from the children at Eastside Youth Centre.
