CONCERT

TAVA26 Xperimenta concert evening traditionally opens the stage to TAVA artists whose work is intertwined with sound. The concert evening consists of two different performances: at 8:00 PM, Erik Alalooga (EST) will perform, and at 9:00 PM, Ancor Ran (IT/DE).

INSTALLATIONS

Tartu Valgusbiennaali TAVA26 raames ärkavad Tartu linnaruumis ellu valgusinstallatsioonid, mis avavad uusi vaatenurki valguse, ruumi ja kunsti omavahelisele suhtele. Eesti ja rahvusvaheliste kunstnike loodud teosed muudavad tuttavad paigad eriliseks, kutsudes külastajaid avastama valguse mõju ümbritsevale keskkonnale ning kogema linnaruumi täiesti uuel viisil.

EXHIBITION

How to explore the inseparable connection between light and shadow? Instead of treating light purely as a revealing force, the exhibition focuses on how light simultaneously creates shadow – how visibility and invisibility exist side by side, shaping perception, memory, and emotional experience.

EXHIBITION

Light is one of those elements that enables growth and sustains life and the joy of living. Shadow is needed for rest and regaining strength, so that at dawn / in spring one can begin chasing the light once more. The same process—if not physically, then mentally—occurs in most people.

EXHIBITION

A collaborative exhibition by the Pallas University of Applied Sciences and the Estonian Sculptors' Union brings together third-year students from the Pallas sculpture department and recognized professional sculptors. The project focuses on the intergenerational exchange of experience and the transmission of professional skills.

EXHIBITION

Our lives depend on soil, yet we rarely think of it as something valuable that needs to be cared for and nourished. In contemporary thinking, soil has been reduced to little more than a place from which to harvest crops, to trample and plough endlessly, and into which to pour waste and debris, because soil seems to tolerate everything. Such an attitude has brought us to a situation where soil fertility has declined drastically, and according to scientists, humanity has, on average, only around sixty harvests left.

EXHIBITION

The exhibition "The Invisible Side of Light" introduces Hannes Sirkel’s photographic work, where art meets natural science. The works reveal how an array of natural objects appear in different parts of the light spectrum, and how structures, pigments, and surfaces that normally remain beyond the range of our perception can be brought to light.

EXHIBITION

The exhibition brings together seven artists whose work features science fiction in one way or another as a central theme. 'Light Rings at the Edge of Time' asks whether sci-fi has turned into a nostalgic imagination of past futures that never came to be, whether it remains a forward-looking genre depicting what lies ahead, or whether it has become something else entirely?

FINAL CONCERT

Cätlin’s folk tunes blend with Jaan’s spoken-word and musical touch into a fresh folk compote, brimming with honey-sweet fairytales and warm, crackling madness.
