The title of the exhibition is inspired by Cartier’s peculiar true story, where an unexperienced couple had to start
making difficult business decisions every day and they always chose a longer way to go to the office. Just to
see the bushes, hear the birds and be together.
The whole gallery space amounts a flowing installation that figuratively emphasizes the variability of any
situation or context. Moving itself - between different states of mind and values - becomes important instead of
the final solution.
Like a dandelion that grows through asphalt.
Experience shows that no journey can be taken for granted. It does not always run in one direction at a steady
pace. In a moment chaos may become order, from black sphere convert into white cube, creation change to
production. And again the other way around.
But it is always possible to change the order of addables, position of view or the whole question.
The viewer is invited to interact with this machinery - anyone can join and change the installation or stand back
and simply observe. However, the key to the machine is in everyone's own hands. Room for interpretation is
open both on the level of abstract allusions and personal connections.
Behind the exhibition there is a similar long and complex work process, which can be described as an artistic
dialogue between artists, places and good intentions. People, ideas and objects have moved several times
between Tallinn and Manchester, sometimes stopping for a long time and then reacting quickly and changing
shape.
The project brings together group of artists based in Estonia and United Kingdom, all of whom are involved in
different aspects of artist run practices and initiatives. They act as a kind of links between different phenomena
in the contemporary art field and incorporate their creative principles into other areas of life and existence.
Inside the general installation you can find the individual project of each artist, which were born especially for
the ArtDepoo exhibition and have now been left in the mercy of the situation.
