Krista Mölder at Hobusepea gallery, Tallinn

On Thursday, October 3, at 18.00, Laurianne Bixhain & Krista Mölder open their duo exhibition 'The sum of the words that accumulate within us' at Hobusepea gallery, Tallinn.

On view until October 27, 2024.

Bixhain and Mölder’s work embody the conviction that the fabrication of images and the transformation of language not only enable but promote a disruption and redistribution of conventionally-assigned roles and the circulation of power, specifically all ordering in which mastery plays a part.

Bixhain and Mölder extend such concerns to notions of construction and deconstruction. Notably, their deployment of the provisional and the transitional (in subject matter, technical mise-en-œuvre, and montage) brings into play the productive participation of the viewer, in whom elements of movement, time and experience must be activated. In doing so, both artists explore the body’s potential as agent, recipient and reservoir of transformation in the broadest possible sense.

Nowhere does such multiple potential resonate more than at the intersection of the natural and technical worlds where much of Mölder’s work is situated. Her spaces are exemplars of transformative occupation by and of the body: her gliders are designed not so much to operate as cooperate within the media of gravity, movement, weightlessness. The relationships with technology and exploited material which they represent is one which forgoes imposition and submission for acceptance, vulnerability and intimacy.
