  • Members Only: Flo Kasearu at the Performa 17

    by firstindigoandlifestyle

    Ernest Hemingway once said, “In every port in the world, at least two Estonians can be found”. This is also true about New York, where more than a few community members share their Estonian House, New Yorgi Eesti Maja. The New York Estonian Educational Society was founded in 1929.  As a great coincidence, and as a brilliant and thoughtful part of the Performa 17 biennial,...

  • An Ho’s recent paintings

    by firstindigoandlifestyle

    A 90-year old Chinese artist An Ho finds inspiration from nature and its serene beauty. Still a steady brush in her hand, she invents nature with her visionary approach. The landscapes seem like in many Chinese classical paintings, where the vision engages in the detail. Stillness of a landscape is poetic, without rush forward, yet bearing undertones of memories and dreamlike solitude. The artist...

    Danish designer Margrethe Odgaard’s exhibition was on view at the Design Museum in Helsinki during this summer.

It feels timely to give...
