ARS Showroom Gallery 5.–28.08.2025

Mon–Fri 12–18

Finissage 28.08 at 19:00

A migrating bird’s nest and trucker's bed share impressions of the surroundings, time passing and their companion's resting rhythm.

With contributions by Juan Pablo Plazas and Luth Lea Roose.

Laura De Jaeger lives between Tallinn and Brussels. Her work focuses on objects and sites that are currently resting. Through gathering and paraphrasing, she checks in on ways stories can charge or reshape them. She works with physical materials as well as writing and inviting. Alongside her artistic practice, she works at the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (EKKM), teaches at the Estonian Academy of Arts, and guides through exhibitions in WIELS.

The exhibition is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, Estonian Artists' Association and PERI.

The artist would like to thank Patrick De Jaeger, Nienke Fransen, Tõnis Jürgens, Edith Karlson, Johannes Luik, Andri Savet and Agnes Isabelle Veevo.
