The artists included are Triin Mänd, Elise Marie Olesk, Marten Prei, Sandra Puusepp and Paul Rannik.
The works in the exhibition approach printmaking through exploring its potential as a tool for documentation, systems thinking, and the material nature of things. For example, in Hälve, Sandra Puusepp examines the process of grinding a lithographic stone as a tension between natural material behavior and imposed standards, revealing surface irregularities that are usually hidden. In Marten Prei’s work, a large visual image is constructed from one hundred hand-printed segments derived from a digital photo collage, raising questions about perception and image logic. Paul Rannik’s piece Water and Its Character investigates the unique properties of different bodies of water through lithography and chemical composition, creating a visual map that reflects both the water cycle and the artist’s personal experience. Many of the works are united by a desire to make visible what is usually unseen.

Kvadraat is a graphic art based young artist collective. Their work reflects their collective curiosity about the role of graphic art in contemporary visual culture. They experiment with processes, materiality and concepts to open up new ways of thinking about printmaking, viewing it not only as a technique, but also as a means of expression and critical engagement. Through this lens, they explore questions relating to materiality, repetition, reproduction and the shifting boundaries between disciplines.
