Estonian artist Kristi Kongi is known for her colourful pieces of art which not only rest on canvas but often tend to wander on walls and create symbiosis with the room they’re currently placed in.

Estonian artist Kristi Kongi is known for her colourful pieces of art which not only rest on canvas but often tend to wander on walls and create symbiosis with the room they’re currently placed in.

The following video takes us on a tour through the artistic reality of Kongi and shows us a medley of her works starting from the “turbulence as a method”, where she rented an apartment for half a year and turned it into her personal canvas, to “Then. Now. Between All Those Times”. Kongi discusses her methods and working philosophy with Nur El Shami, curator and the creator of a London-based startup ART:I:CURATE which is basically the Myspace of visual artists.

Toeta vastutustundlikku ajakirjandust

Infoajastu ja sotsiaalmeedia levik on toonud endaga kaasa aina kiiremad, lühemad ja emotsioonipõhisemad tekstiformaadid ning sellega seoses ka süvenemisvõime kriisi. Nendest trendidest hoolimata püüab Müürileht hoida enda ümber ja kasvatada ühiskondlikult aktiivseid ja kriitilise mõtlemisvõimega noori autoreid ja lugejaskonda. Toimetuse eesmärk on mõtestada laiemalt kultuuri- ja ühiskonnaelu ning kajastada lisaks nüüdiskultuuris toimuvat. Väljaanne on keskendunud rahulikule, analüüsivale ning otsingulisele ajakirjandusele, mis ühendab endas nii traditsioonilised kui ka uuenduslikud formaadid. Sinu toetuse abil saame laiendada kajastatavate teemade ringi ja avaldada rohkem väärt artikleid.

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. If the medium is the message, form becomes more important than the statement itself.
