September 26, 2020–February 28, 2021, Kadriorg Art Museum The exhibition introduces cats and dogs as one-time religious symbols, allegories of virtues and vices, expressions of power and status, means of conveying masculinity and femininity, physical and psychological helpers, entertainers and objects of affection. Depending on the cultural convictions of an era, cats and dogs could be either positive or negative protagonists in art. They are often depicted as opposites, even enemies, sometimes embodying the complicated relationships between people. In art, just as in life, cats and dogs can play either leading or supporting roles, but they are ever-present and need to be addressed. Curators: Anu Allikvee, Tiina-Mall Kreem, Anu Mänd |
