Free entry

 On September 27th at 18.00 we invite you to Rõdugalerii, to take part of a performance-installation “Burn After Reading” opening by TYPA’s residency artist Johanna Häiväoja. After the performance, the sculpture will be up for viewing for another week, until October 4th.

Johanna gives us an overview of the exhibition as follows:
Paper is a very usual matter. We tear it, throw it away, are so accustomed having tons of it around that we do not respect it nor see it’s inherent beauty.

White paper contains all the stories that are not yet written, the maps of countries to visit, love letters imagined and never sent. It offers a complete and scary freedom to the imagination and a permanent, immutable support for the histories of mankind.

Again, books and libraries are being burned or otherwise destroyed in too many places.
So, as a tribute to paper I want to construct a forest of pages, transforming slowly to wings and taking off. This installation will be built slowly during the opening of the exhibition, in the presence of the public.
