Gallery: NYC, Stockholm artists probe how history is staged in Tallinn show
Tallinn-based New York native Zody Burke and Stockholm's Klara Zetterholm have teamed up for a joint exhibition in Tallinn examining how history is staged and reimagined.
"Ersatz Strata," which opened at Temnikova & Kasela Gallery on Thursday, draws on the visual language and storytelling techniques of natural history museums to create a fictional archeological site.
The artists use reliefs, sculptures, printed work, kinetic elements and industrial residue to depict a place repeatedly "discovered" and reinterpreted by different cultures, each time reshaped through a new lens.
Thursday's opening also featured a live performance by Los Angeles-based artist 011668.
"Ersatz Strata" will remain open at Temnikova & Kasela Gallery through August 15.
