NIRVANA
Opening: Thursday, 28 August at 6 PM
Exhibition on view: 29 August – 11 October 2025
Location: Temnikova & Kasela, Peetri 12, Tallinn 10415
Temnikova & Kasela Gallery is proud to present Kris Lemsalu’s new solo exhibition NIRVANA.
Kris Lemsalu (b. 1985, Tallinn) is an internationally renowned artist whose practice combines sculpture, performance, and installation. Her works question the boundaries of human experience, moving between the poetic and the grotesque, the mystical and the everyday.
The artist describes her new exhibition as follows:
At last, I am a Zen conceptualist. An exhibition titled NIRVANA. Only ceramic sculptures. These four torsos are bodily poetry – haikus about the body, expanding into nature, sinking into the soil, and being reborn. Look at the works as you would at clouds in the sky: take your time, and you will see which characters and which stories appear. Nirvana is arrival itself, and the celebration of the cycle of life.
