I so rarely post to Counterforces that I feel the need to announce the ultimate Counterforces type of exhibition, a survey of new art from the Finno-Ugrian autonomous regions within Russia. It is currently on exhibit in Tallinn, Estonia and further documented on my other blog. I quote from ekm.ee:
"The exhibition’s title, North by North-East: The Continental Unconscious, refers to the geographic location of the Finno-Ugrian World, but also to the fact that some territories and nations are exiled from mainstream consciousness and erased from the mental map of contemporary culture. They might even be compared to the content of the Unconscious, which Freud once famously called ‘an aboriginal population of the Mind’. The title also alludes to the pronounced interests in psychic practices among Finno-Ugrian artists and intellectuals."
