Peeter Allik Tartu Print Festival

 

On Friday, 10 June at 6 p.m. Tartu Printmaking Festival “Shadows” named after Peeter Allik will open in the large gallery of Tartu Art House. 

For the first time, the Tartu Printmaking Festival bears the name of Peeter Allik in honour of Allik as the founder of the festival. The artist has written about the idea of the festival: “Good old printmaking is an opportunity even when everything else disappears, completely free self-expression, everyone’s own printed press, in the conditions of any democratic or totalitarian organization.” 

The festival has been held regularly since 2012 and is scheduled to take place this year in its interdisciplinary spirit throughout the summer. Various exhibitions, international performance actions, a chess tournament named after Peeter Allik and workshops will take place all over the town. 

The international exhibition “MASTERS OF LINOCUT AND WOODCUT - Shadows” at the Tartu Art House is curated by Carlos Barberena, who works in Chicago. The exhibition brings together the brightest pearls of the linocut medium around the world. For the first time, previously unseen video materials made by and with Peeter Allik, interviews and short films directed by Allik will also be on display. The designer of the exhibition is Taje Paldrok. 

The opening parade continue on Friday (10.06) at 8 p.m. from Kunstimaja to the exhibition of Anonymous Boh on the second floor of Tartu Kaubamaja and will proceed to the smallest gallery of the Baltic Poissmeeste Maja created by Peeter Allik. Performing artists Jürgen Rooste from Estonia, Danny Gonzalez from the USA, Mathieu Sylvestre from France, Hyunji Park and Jaesik Park from South Korea and Dariya Stiletskaya (DI) from Ukraine will perform.

Reedel, 10. juunil kell 18.00 avatakse Tartu Kunstimaja suures saalis Peeter Alliku nimeline Tartu Graafikafestival „Shadows / Varjud“. 

Tartu Graafikafestival kannab esmakordselt Peeter Alliku nime, austamaks Allikut kui festivali asutajat. Kunstnik on festivali käimalükkavast ideest kirjutanud nii: „Vana hea graafika on võimalus isegi siis, kui kõik muu kaob, täieliselt vaba eneseväljendus, igamehe trükitud omaajakirjandus, mistahes demokraatliku või totalitaarse korralduse tingimustes.“ 

Festival toimub regulaarselt alates aastast 2012 ning on tänavu kavandatud toimuma tema interdistsiplinaarses vaimus suve jooksul üle linna. Aset leiavad erinevad näitused, rahvusvahelised performance-aktsioonid, Peeter Alliku nimeline maleturniir ning töötoad. 

Tartu Kunstimaja rahvusvahelist näitust "MASTERS OF LINOCUT AND WOODCUT - Shadows" kureerib Nicaragua juurtega Chicagos tegutsev Carlos Barberena. Näitusele on koondatud linoollõike meediumi kõige säravad pärlid üle maailma. 

Eksponeerimisele tulevad esmakordselt ka Peeter Alliku poolt ja temaga tehtud laiemalt esitlemata videomaterjalid, intervjuud ja Alliku lavastatud lühifilmid. Näituse kujundaja on Taje Paldrok. 

Avamise rongkäik jätkub (10.06) kell 20.00 Tartu Kaubamaja II korrusele Anonymous Bohi näitusele ja liigub edasi Peeter Alliku loodud Baltimaade väikseimasse Poissmeeste Maja galeriisse. Tegevuskunstnikena astuvad üles Jürgen Rooste, Danny Gonzalez USAst, Mathieu Sylvestre Prantsumaalt, Hyunji Park ja Jaesik Park Lõuna-Koreast ja Dariya Stiletskaya (DI) Ukrainast.
