The art of Phoenixes
\nYou are all invited to the opening of the exhibition of the female artists’ group Phoenix
\non Friday, 21.11.2025 at 18:00 at the Rapla Contemporary Art Center.
\nThe opening exhibition “Phoenix 2” is the second appearance in the series of the new
\nartists’ association this year. The first joint event took place on 09.03-03.04.2025 at the
\nP\u00e4rnu City Gallery, where the group of female artists actually was born while testing
\nthemselves with the mirror of exhibition.
\nThis time we are celebrating the miracle of birth more consciously, and in a way fittingly for
\nthe Phoenixes. In the course of preparing the exhibition, in addition to creating new works,
\nwe also engaged in so-called introspection \u2013 it would be more appropriate to say, mapping
\nthe Phoenixes’ positions on some of the most important topics female artists are generally
\nassociated with.
\nThrough 20-30 years of experience as an artist, we looked at the distribution of energy
\nbetween creation and family responsibilities, the reflection of gender and age, the sources of
\nideas and inspiration, or where creative POWER comes from.
\nWe solved the measurement of one’s own creation, based on the basic thesis of feminist
\nclassics, according to which man = intellect\/culture, woman = body\/nature, in a more modern
\nform, reflecting on the connections between NATURE and CULTURE in creation.
\nGuests of the exhibition can compare and connect Phoenixes` the self-reflections formulated
\nas texts with the exhibited visual artworks.
\nThe more than 200-square-meter space is filled with visual mystery. There is nothing
\nrandom in the room specially segregated for the event, but at the same time each
\ncombination of the works seeks its own place through balance created.
\nThis time the works are grouped by author, it makes the placement in the whole important.
\nThe uniqueness of the artists and the diversity of techniques are what makes the exhibition
\nunique.
\nThe following artists will be performing at the Rapla County Contemporary Art Center: Katrin
\nValgem\u00e4e, Alide Zvorovski, Marina Aleksejeva, Anne Rudanovski, Katrin Saag, Maria
\nKristiina Ulas, \u00dclle Saatm\u00e4e, Maris Siimer, Kalli Kalde, Kaire Nurk, Katrin Kaev, Lylian
\nMeister, Lembe Ruben, Tiiu Rebane and Eveli Varik.
\nThe music for the exhibition \u201cMagus magus\u201d is by Rene Varik.
\nThe exhibition will remain open until mid-December.
\nOn the last day, Sunday, 14.12.2025, the exhibition will be closed within 13:00-15:00
\nwith artist talks.
\nNext year, in 2026, the activities of the Phoenix will continue at the same pace, currently
\npreparing for performances in two galleries in Tallinn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
