FRESH KUNST.EE 1/2024 OUT NOW!

 

EDITORIAL

(2/2013)

 

They say that art is "bigger than life" – but that is only one reason to get your own copy of KUNST.EE, a quarterly magazine dedicated to the contemporary art scene and various aspects of visual culture in Estonia. All other reasons are usually already very specific, inviting the reader to focus on the artwork, to follow the artist and to critically contemplate on the results.

The following topics are discussed in this issue: Art prizes – are they good or bad? Has anyone heard of Kristjan Raud's Prize, Köler Prize, PurvÄ«tis Prize or Turner Prize – please raise your hands! What are the needs and dangers of "popularizing" art in today's world? And do we need to hand out art awards to living classics or to young artists?

What has been going on in art galleries for the past few months? What news and recent art books and catalogues should we read? And, as a bonus for our readers, we have included special pages dedicated to the Estonian Pavilion at the 55th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia.

Dear artists, curators and critics – the floor is yours!
