Gallery Seek
Photographic art intertwined with history
The Gallery Seek is the exhibition pavilion of the Tallinn Museum of Photography, where Estonian photographic heritage is presented and contemporary photography exhibitions are held.
In addition to photographic art, the ruins of the St. John the Baptist hospital complex, dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries, are displayed.
Exhibitions only take place in the Gallery Seek during the summer period, from June to October.
From June 6 to September 30, 2024, 23 artists will present contemporary representations of the body at the Seek gallery.
The group exhibition ‘The Body’ at the Museum of Photography brings together contemporary representations of the body by 23 artists, captured by the camera in both photography and video. In addition, the exhibition includes some installation works. Attitudes to the body are influenced by cultural, social and historical factors and a significant part of contemporary art revolves around the body. The gallery presents a multi-layered and wide-ranging picture of the meanings associated with the body. Artists have been inspired by personal or social experiences related to the body, body awareness, identity, traditions, values, etc.
