“The State is not a Work of Art”
“The State is not a Work of Art” (“Riik ei ole kunstiteos”) was curated by Katerina Gregos at Tallinn Art Hall on the occasion of Estonia’s centenary of independence. At this opportune moment, the exhibition and its accompanying publication reflect on the problems, contradictions and ideologies underlying nation and nationalism in today’s constantly transforming European socio-political landscape.
