Evelyn Grzinich "Ei ole midagi elavamat kui..."
Näitus on kasvanud välja vanadest joonistustest, mida autor on kontrollitud viisil lagundanud: lõiganud, kustutanud, kleepinud, ülejoonistanud ja -trükkinud.
Vanad teosed on pakkunud viljakat materjali (huumust), millest on kasvanud uued teosed. Selles lagundamis- või kompostimisprotsessis on autor sukeldunud maa-alusesse. Teejuhiks autori enda kogemused aednikuna ja internetis kättesaadavad teadmised. Ette on püütud kujutada mullas toimuvat elu. Taimede juured, hüüfid, mikroorganismid, need keda/mida ei märka. Nemad (pärmid, vetikad, algloomad, bakterid, nematoodid, seened jne) lagundavad orgaanilist ainet huumuseks, nagu autor lagundab oma vanu kunstiteoseid.
Näitus avatakse 9. veebruaril kell 18 ja see jääb avatuks kuni 13. märtsini. Näituse külastamine on tasuta. Näitust toetab Eesti Kultuurkapitali kujutava- ja rakenduskunsti sihtkapital ja Põlvamaa ekspertgrupp.
Suur tänu John Grzinichile ja Lauri Laanistole.

Composting is understood as the controlled decomposition of organic material. In the same way, the creative process can be understood as a kind of composting, where the source material (organic material) can be the previous artistic works. Decomposition can be a creative process controlled by the artist. In doing so, the author creates fertile material from which to grow a new body of work.
"This exhibition has grown out of old drawings, I have decomposed (composted) in a controlled way: cutting, tearing, erasing, pasting, printing, drawing, combining, mixing....
In this process of composting, I immersed myself into the underground. My experience as a gardener along with knowledge available on the Internet gave me guidance. I tried to imagine life that goes on underground. Plant roots, moles, earthworms, but also micro-organisms you can't see with the naked eye. They (yeasts, algae, protozoa, bacteria, nematodes, fungi, etc.) break down the organic matter into humus, as I break down my old artworks."
The exhibition will be opened on February 9th at 6pm and it will stay open until March 13th. Visiting the exhibition is free. Exhibition is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
Special thanks to John Grzinich and Lauri Laanisto.
