The purpose of the series of exhibitions Archives in Translation is to highlight the events and phenomena that affected directly and indirectly Estonian art in the Soviet period from behind the iron curtain. The display focuses on the process of "translating" and transforming the ideas of Western art, imbibed through the curtain via limited channels, into local context.
The exhibition Concept of Play brings to spotlight the late 1960's and early 1970's – the time when the revolutionary ideas of the previous decades culminated among the Western students together with the freedom aspirations of the Eastern Block countries. But we know that political events gave a serious kickback to all the hopes and attitudes.
