From August 25 to October 2, Tallinn’s Art Room (Kunstihoone) will host the ambitious group exhibition “Continuum_ The Perception Zone”, featuring a galaxy of international and notable artists: Martin Creed (UK), Olafur Eliasson (Denmark/Iceland), Bernhard Leitner (Australia), Spencer Finch (USA), John Wood & Paul Harrison (UK), Ceal Floyer (UK), Kiwanoid (Estonia), Daniel Kemeny (Czech Republic) & Marusoo (Estonia) and Toomas Thetloff (Estonia).

As the exhibition’s name indicates, perception will be at the center of attention. The exhibition’s curator, Maria Arusoo (1983; as an artist, she works under the alias Marusoo), hopes to create a dynamic show that is not seen as a binary relationship of subject-object, but rather as one that dissolves within the concept of “environment”. The room will become not only visible and tactile, but also sensitive to human actions, inseparable from the material substance of  moving bodies that generate the room’s nature. How is this done? – works of art featuring light or sound will be exhibited.
