Review of the exhibition "Archeological Festival - a 2nd hand history and improbable obsessions" in Tartu Art Museum, curated by Maria Arusoo. In the article, I realize that this exhibition deals with much more metaphysical problems than contemporary art usually does: life, death, space, time..

This article is a response to another review of the theater piece OH MY GOD in Von Krahl theater (Karl Saks, Tanel Rander, Hendrik Kaljujärv) which claimed the piece to be boring and confusing.
In the article, I praise the new genre of theater now emerging in Estonian theater scene called the physical theater, and challenge the audience to not interpret OMG by verbal means, but instead receive it as a pure physical experience.
Instead of trying to find certain themes or subjects the piece might be addressing, I choose to let myself be carried only by the universal and archaic patterns, impulses, movement of tension the actors on stage convey. I would love to see theater heading towards the physical more boldly.

This is a review of the exhibition Prada Pravda in the Festival of Contemporary Art ART IST KUKU NU UT that took place in Tartu, Estonia from Sept-Oct 2013. There were five curators and three exhibition spaces filled with artworks from different international artists. The review tries to read into the collective message above all the artworks, and answer - what do they all try to tell us? The answer is: WWIII is coming. Or it has already begun.

The aim of the article Creating Tartu is to focus the attention of urban planners and people living in Tartu on abandoned buildings found everywhere in the city. Referring to Klaske Maria Havik's article Towards a Site-Specific Practice - Reflections on Identity of Place, activity is brought out as one of the tools of architectural practice. Activity is also a tool for citizens to consciously design their town by organizing public gatherings in places they would like to see more energy brought into. Concentrating attention on abandoned locations that still carry some potential is the key activity of developing them into a cultural hotspot.

This review questions the statements the artist has made with his exhibition. The artist's aim was to find new aesthetic and conceptual symbols, combinations that are existentially significant. The review analyses the visual material provided in the exhibition hall critically and finds that not all of the artists' goals were met: some of the aboriginal patterns represented in his works still remained as already seen, and did not produce a new existential universe. However, the intention to create a new aesthetic is recognized.

Review of Dimanche Rouge #20
Review of experimental performance festival Dimanche Rouge #20 in Tallinn, Estonia

Review
http://dimancherouge.org/
In the article, I analyze 10 performances made in Culture Factory Polymer in Tallinn, Estonia
during the monthly experimental performance festival Dimanche Rouge. I divide the performances into three subjective categories and assess their quality in the context of contemporary performance art. In the review, I express appreciation towards mental presence of the artist in the process of a performance. Also, I question the definition of experimental regarding the festival. Since destruction is often described as experimental in performance art, could it be the new canon? In this case, artists should re-evaluate their definition of the experimental and perhaps seek order instead of chaos.

The article is based on an interview with the director of Theater NO99, Ene-Liis Semper, and on personal reflections on conceptual art. It begins where the last article in Müürileht had ended - on usefulness in Art. Being tired of art that carries no practical use, art that embodies only abstractions and mindless mind games, I ask - why can't the artist be as useful as a road worker, whose work has material and realistic outcomes? Semper replies that art is useful in any case, even if it is purely abstract, because abstractions carry ideas and ideas change people.
