The Art of Adapting explores how we habitually perceive, interpret and value natural environments and our co-species. The exhibition observes the approaches of contemporary artists to nature appreciation and the de-aestheticising of nature rooted in ecological aesthetics and ecofeminism.
The borders between humanity and the natural environment are shifted in the exhibition halls with the help of art: critical contemporary artists and works from the collections of the Art Museum of Estonia provoke discussions on biodiversity, variability, co-species, dependency relationships, eco-anxiety and sustainability. In dialogue with the above-mentioned artworks, contemporary artists and old masters give viewers food for thought: what was the natural environment like in previous centuries, how have artists approached the environment, and how has this approach altered under the changing environmental conditions?
