Summer 2026

Should Estonia have boycotted this year’s Venice Art Biennale? What, in real terms, is the Köler Prize worth today? Who commands the highest price among living artists on the local auction circuit (leaving the dead undisturbed)? What kind of painting is likely to dominate the Estonian art scene a decade from now? Were the 1960s truly a golden age (in art, and in culture at large)? Why collect art – or subscribe to this magazine – especially if you are an artist yourself? How many cities like Tallinn exist in the world, with their own pop art museum? What does technology do to human creativity? And why, in 2026, should anyone concern themselves with art at all?

In this summer issue, these questions are taken up by Andreas Trossek, Janar Ala, Gertu Lepik von Wirén, Erkki Luuk, Vappu Thurlow, Eero Epner, Hanno Soans, Tiina Hausper, Aleksander Zahharov, Johannes Luik, Indrek Grigor, Raivo Kelomees and Anita Kodanik.

The issue closes with a special supplement featuring the publication of a previously unpublished film script by Priit Pärn who celebrates his 80th birthday this year and organized the last exhibition of Tallinn City Gallery.

Stay tuned!
