Open Doors Day / Philippine Vidart / Katrin Enni

 

Sunday, December 19, 2021
14:00 – 16:45 Open doors day at Copper Leg Art Residency / Art presentations by Philippine Vidart & Katrin Enni.

Philippine Vidart aka ‘finu’ is a French illustrator whose universe is defined by its contradicting nature as it is both tragic and comic, wonderful and dark, childish and serious. It is populated by strange beings and hybrid structures inspired by popular traditions and folkloric tales. Through the staging of situations and environments, she encourages her audience to make their own interpretations and see relatable subjects within these elements. During her time at the Copper Leg Art Residency, she explores the subject of burnout as a conundrum of our modern work system through installation works and drawings inspired by Estonian folklore.

Katrin Enni is an installation and sound artist based in Tallinn. She studied installation and sculpture at the Estonian Academy of Arts and obtained a master’s degree in contemporary art.
In her artistic practice, she mainly creates kinetic and interactive sound installations. She has also been fascinated by drawing and illustration in the past. During her stay at Copper Leg Art Residency, she wants to bring these practices together and experiment with ways to develop ideas for creating sound objects through drawing and working with visual images.

See you on Sunday!

Moominvalley meets the Copper Leg!

Let us greet a new artist at Copper Leg Art Residency! Anne Ferguson is a printmaker from Germany. She was born in Stolberg and studied art in Mainz (the city known for Gutenberg).

In her works, she is mostly focused on abstract imagery, variations of shape and transformation of it. The image seems to not be something static for her, rather it represents an evolution which can be observed through the visual markings of the process.

Here at Copper Leg, she has been experimenting with woodcut prints and photograms. The results will be revealed on this Saturday, October 20th at Copper Leg Open Doors Day at 16:00.

Do not hesitate to come and meet the artist, Anne does not bite or growl, the other way around, she is a warm person like some of the bright characters from the Moominvalley.

Welcome to Rae School House (Ussiaugu tee, Vaskja village, Rae parish) on Saturday 20.10.2018
