Exhibition “Looking Forward to Hearing From You” at Balcony Gallery

On June 5 at 18:00 an exhibition titled “Looking Forward to Hearing From You” opens at TYPA Balcony Gallery.

The exhibition shows works from the EKA Print Exchange project initiated by Charlotte Biszewski at the graphic art department of the Estonian Academy of Arts. Printmaking students from different universities were invited to take part and submit an original print edition. Each print was shipped to Tallinn, sorted and sent back to participants, so everyone received a random selection of ten prints.

The vision of this project was to create new connections between printmaking departments and students through collaboration and sharing physical works. So, we wrote to our penpals and were curious what students of other universities were up to. Depictions of current ideas, projects or any experiments were warmly welcomed as a response.

Four universities participated in the exchange: Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA), Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KIHO) University of the West of England Bristol (UWE) and Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw (ASP WRO).

EKA Print Exchange was organized by EKA graafika: Alona Chuprina, Margarita Feofanova, Chantal Gerschuetz, Merit Himmelreich, Triin Mänd, Helena Pass, Marten Prei, Sandra Puusepp and supervised by Charlotte Biszewski.

Exhibition is open until July 6. The project is supported by EKA graafika, TYPA, KIUD.
