19th Tallinn Print Triennial

Tallinn Art Hall Lasnamäe pavilion 21.06–31.08.2025

The 19th edition of the Tallinn Print Triennial, one of the longest-running art events in Estonia, is devoted to reinterpreting the tradition of graphic art, while reflecting our contemporary time and space. Drawing on the architecture of this year’s main venue, which can be seen as an endless loop, the triennial invites us to imagine the life cycle of a graphic figure: what it is born from, where it dies, and everything that happens in between. The works of 14 artists displayed in the Tallinn Art Hall’s pavilion offer multiple approaches to addressing the unprecedented information glut all around us.

Due to information overload, the reactive nature of methods of communication and the acceleration in the pace of life it has caused, we’ve come to recognize that the digital was designed for forgetting and the analogue exists for remembering. In such a context, the illegible title of the exhibition serves as a form of resistance. Interpreting it requires a little too much attention and concentration, which appear to be in short supply in today’s context of flickering screens and massive burden of filtering information.
