Näitust „Kaugete meelte kuma“ on vorminud viimase pooleteise aasta vältel toimunud muutused EKKMi sees ja ümber, samuti mõtisklused ühiskondlikust väärtustajust ning teemadest nagu kasinus, unarus ja hoolitsus. Mida mäletatakse, mis unustatakse ning mis saab kunstiajalukku kirjutatud? Näitusemaja, mis on oma elu jooksul läbinud järjepidevalt parandustöid ja ruumilisi uuendusi, on sellele vaatamata väsinud ja pragunev. EKKMi füüsilised ja sümboolsed mõrad on omakorda aineseks ja elupaigaks kunstnike ideedele, külastajate mälestustele, töötajate ettepanekutele, rohkele tolmule ning majja unustatud esemelisele pärandile. See näitus on kasvamisest. Suureks kasvamisest, suuremaks kasvamisest, ümber kasvamisest. Muutus – miski kauge ja köitev – kumab õrnalt eemal, ent piisava keskendumise ja kannatlikkuse korral hakkab äratuntavamaks vormuma, kergelt selginema. Näitusega kaasneb samanimeline eesti- ja inglisekeelne trükis, mille on kirjastanud EKKM ja Lugemik.
The book was published on the occasion of an exhibition by the same title curated by Laura Toots at the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (EKKM), 05.06.–18.07.2021.
The exhibition “Letters from a foreign mind” has been shaped by both the internal and external changes EKKM has undergone in the past year and a half, as well as contemplating on what is valued in our society and themes like scarcity, neglect and care. What is remembered, what is forgotten and what gets written into art history?
The building of EKKM has seen countless repairs and spatial renovations during its lifetime but is nevertheless tired and slowly crumbling. The physical and symbolic cracks are the subject matter and the habitat for artistic ideas, for visitors’ memories, its employees’ proposals, an abundance of dust and material legacy that has been left behind.
This is an exhibition on growth. Growing up, growing larger, growing anew. Change – distant and inviting – gently glows from afar but with enough focus and patience, it will begin shaping itself into something more familiar and become slightly clearer.
