Group exhibition of 3rd Year Textile Students of Pallas UAS
Textile & Place
Group exhibition of 3rd Year Textile Students of Pallas UAS
05.12.2024 – 04.01.2025
On Thursday, 5th of December at 17:00, the 3rd year students of the textile department of Pallas University of Applied Sciences will open their joint exhibition “Textile & Place” at Gallery Pallas.
What emotions does an experience evoke in us, and how can we express it in textiles? WHO, WHERE, and WHY are three interconnected questions that each student has explored to find meaningful connections and starting points. Drawing from their memories, students have translated moments and feelings from their lives into material form. Location often plays a significant role in shaping how we perceive and experience something. Each exhibit reflects the author’s personal inner world at that moment in time.
The exhibition presents six unique works that explore the versatility of textile techniques, materials, and perspectives. Christina Kasesalu reminds us of what it means to live in the bosom of the forest. Hanna-Maria Org looks back on her Erasmus experience, conveying the homesickness experienced there. Grete Ottis’ work is about how objects left behind by those who are gone acquire new meanings and perspectives. Miina Aleksandra Piho brings everyday objects from her country home to city life. Sigre Kodasma longs for the way back home – to her roots. Liisi Tasso juxtaposes childhood joys with today’s fears.
The works exhibited at Gallery Pallas are a result of the course Means of Expression in Contemporary Textile Art led by Lithuanian textile artist Monika Žaltauskaitė Grašienė (Vilnius Academy of Arts, Kaunas Faculty) and Marju Roos (Pallas University of Applied Sciences).
At the exhibition opening, the Tartu Municipality Scholarship will be ceremonially awarded. The scholarship aims to recognize Pallas Textile Department students who are professionally active and achieve excellent academic results.
