The truth about Robin Hood

I did already mention how much I love my dad, didn’t I?

Only he can turn plain old math riddle into Mad Hatter story. And conclude that Robin Hood is an unreasonably expensive accountant to have.

It's just not the same...

Finally I've been to the movies here. Just got this feeling like half a year ago when I watched Cloverfield with a friend. Which was all good, and the movie, and the atmosphere, and "Angry Birds" as a starter... or was it another time? whatever...

Nostalgic again.

Anyway, I came across this trailer today with all its newsreel shaky camera and epic fights, and thought this might be good. So I went to the cinema, hoping to catch my part of a dark room, an awkward feeling of not being alone and some catharsis.

Here it comes: lots of spoilers and IMHOs.

Do you take Beast...?

Just finished watching "Beastly (off-top: fighting with sudden numerous shut-offs of my new laptop)
Old fairytale in the new scenery, such an inspiring picture and thrilling make-up!
I mostly drooled on Beast's tattoos (eyebrows rule) and Kendra's costumes and smoky eyes, 10 points to artists.


The story, on the other side, is the most favorite of my mindologues:

Precognitive dreams, soft chairs and Walküres

About two months ago I was persuaded into MetOpera. Sounds a bit posh, yes =)) But that's only a broadcasting from the real MO (in my case even recorded one). Anyway, the tickets were bought, because it's really exciting to watch such a famous opera, even indirectly.

Essay on the Contemporary Art Seminar

I just liked my essay so much, and since it's in English anyway, I'll post it here...

And on the heels of the topic, very very suitable song =)

Exhibition Diary, Part VII

Name: Money chases children (Raha ajab lapsi taga)
Made by: Epp Kubu
Material: video
Place: Linna Galerii, Tallinn

Almost everything was told in the press release: children see and understand that the world is spinning around the money. While they're playing, the money become an important part of their game. So, all the videos about a child's play whit the main idea "Where does money come from?": it might be drawn or taken from mommy's unneeded 15-years-old monetary stock, it can be just found as a treasures are found. Or we can try to put on some bank employee dressing like a grandmother =)

Exhibition Diary, Part VI

Name: Criminal minds (Kurjuse kannul)
Made by: Anu Juurak
Material: miscellaneous
Place: Hobusepea Galerii, Tallinn
Press release: The exhibition explores modern twists as fear, anxiety and doubt. Hopefully, it won't evoke more fear but helps to disperse it.

It was told that the exhibition was about the myths produced to fight the crisis. As the economy produces a conception of the global terrorism, as environmental problems lead to climatic disaster myth etcetera. There is no better way to control minds than the presence of enemy, whether it is real or abstract. Proved by The Cold War.

Exhibitions Diary, Part V

Name: Room of Love (Armastusetuba)
Made by: Margit Lõhmus
Material: video
Place: Draakoni Galerii, Tallinn

Exhibitions Diary, Part IV

Co-exhibition
Name: Hunger (Nälg) (Part of Money, Money, Money! project)
Made by: Anna Hints & Maria Rõhu
Material: miscellaneous
Place: Linna Galerii, Tallinn
Press release: Hunger appears when something is of lack. When we get that something, the hunger is pacified.

Exhibitions Diary, Part III

Co-exhibition
Name: "Meie" (We)
Made by: Eva Sepping & Tanja Muravskaja
Material: video
Place: Draakoni Galerii, Tallinn
The main idea of the exhibition is "the human's need of belonging to the native land". Two sides of national identity: 1) antagonism and violence against "others" of another nationlity; 2) unifying space to tie absolutely different people.
