“Olev Subbi: Landscapes from the End of Times”

“Olev Subbi: Landscapes from the End of Times” offers a new perspective on the practice of Subbi, alongside the works of contemporary international artists that expand upon his interests in the connection between ecology and the social through meditations on our relationship with nature. Subbi’s view of history was non-linear: his paintings are windows on parallel worlds that are neither present, past nor future. The invitation to contemporary artists was made by linking particular themes present in Subbi’s work with ongoing social problems. The exhibition positions itself by encouraging continuous revision and establishing global non-linear links in a chain. Although Subbi lived in the bleakness of post-war Estonia, he survived by finding beauty in everything. At the core of his artistic philosophy was the constructive idea of building out of optimism. Landscape becomes a place of hope, of memory, remembrance, and a site in which to construct the future.

Works by Larry Achiampong, María Dalberg, Nona Inescu, Ad Minoliti, Juana Subercaseaux, Nazim Ünal Yilmaz, and Maya Watanabe start a dialogue with the oeuvre of Olev Subbi in the book. The essays are written by Jurriaan Benschop, Inga Lāce and Borbála Soós.
