2022-2023 Metaphorical landscapes

Estonia Concert Hall | 15.09.2022- 5.01.2023

Jaan Elken: “As an artist, I create worlds that make certain claims of visual comprehensiveness, that have intellectually oriented coordinates that have guided me in one way or another. I work with the architectonics of metaphorical landscapes that are inspired by collapsing glaciers and stone deserts, that even use outer space as a viewpoint. Aesthetics that poeticizes decay and extinction, that observes the intersection between the inside and the outside, provides me with a million opportunities to map the reality according to my own rules.”
