LEGENDARY TIMES

Open 12.11.2023 – 9. 03.2024, Wed-Sun 10.00-17.00
The Earth has been shaken off its axis, and we find ourselves once more living in an era of legends and fairy tales. Before our very eyes, new heroes and new villains are born; an evil cook turns his ladle in the Kremlin, and a ghost dashes about in the sky above Kiev.
A legend can sometimes be scary and nightmarish, but ultimately, its purpose is to give hope – to segment a confusing time into intelligible stories with a beginning and an end; to give meaning to lives lost, to show light at the end of the tunnel. In both love and war, the victory belongs to one who tells the more credible story.
A legend can let you escape daily drudgery, to visit mysterious sights and creatures. A legend allows you to see connections between the past and the present; to view a landscape from the perspective of an eagle or that of a frog; to learn from others’ mistakes once in a while. Thus, it shapes every human being’s unique inner cosmos, and gives birth to new legends.

2023 Kateriin Rikken COMPLEX
Glass artist Kateriin Rikken presents a new series of drinking glasses and decanters “Complex” in the Okapi Gallery as part of the Tallinn Design Festival.
The idea, which has matured over time, contains contradictions – partly driven by the purely practical need to keep one’s hand warm, on the other by the desire to offer an alternative, individuality and the courage to be different in its own way.
All glasses are blown by the artist in Estonia.
Printed on the glass are hingvistics by Keiti Vilms, kuu.elina and Aleksandra A. T.
