Sept 9 - 30, 2022 ARS Project Space
Borrowing the name for the exhibition from a snippet in an interview by a colleague where
she characterises my previous exhibition (Perfect Wordls) using those two words, I have
made and found a collection of pieces, which in a longer duration of time formed within the
influence of this imaginary double helix. The name and concept stuck and demanded
attention, refusing to be binned. Figures, forms and sounds swirl in a gravitational field of
tranquil beauty as if to pose a question what chance do they have in these times of turmoil,
uncertainty and dust. The exhibition will extend from physical into virtual space.
Raul Keller (1973) is an Estonian contemporary artist who since the 90s has worked within
the field of experimentalism with a focus on location, improvisation and sound practices.
During the so-called ‘noughties’ he recorded several albums of conceptual group
improvisations with Project Unison (2000-2012), made video, performance and radiophonic
art representing Estonia in several international exhibitions. Over the next decade with
focus on sound art and analogue photography he was (and still is) performing in a noise
impro duo Post Horn and being involved in a radiophonic group LokaalRaadio, was lecturing
in Tallinn University and held a professorship in new media in Estonian Academy of Arts.
Continuing with previous interests, in recent years he has been combining traditional art
techniques with new technologies. Lives and works in Tallinn.
