CASTLE IN THE AIR / CHÂTEAU ÉTHÉRÉ / ŌHULOSS GROUP EXHIBITION AT SOME/THINGS SECRET

IN COLLABORATION WITH L'INSTITUT FRANÇAIS & L'AMBASSADE D'ESTONIE EN FRANCE, SOME/THINGS WILL EXHIBIT CASTLE IN THE AIR / ÕHULOSS group exhibition at SOME/THINGS SECRET gallery, [16 VILLA GAUDELET, 75011 PARIS / VERNISSAGE 6-8PM, OCTOBER 22ND] as part of ESTONIE TONIQUE ESTONIAN FESTIVAL in Paris & the Ile-de-France [October—November 2011]

CASTLE IN THE AIR / ÕHULOSS is a group of 6 jewellery artists from Estonia: KADRI MÄLK, TANEL VEENRE, PIRET HIRV, EVE MARGUS-VILLEMS, KRISTIINA LAURITS, VILLU PLINK [www.klimt02.net]. Formed in 1999, the group has since exhibited their works jointly in ESTONIA, THE NETHERLANDS, SPAIN, GERMANY, DENMARK, PORTUGAL, HUNGARY & CHINA. CASTLE IN THE AIR has compiled & published four catalogues [1999, 2003, 2010 & 2011], while art historians & critics from various countries have sited the work, such as German art historian RÜDIGER JOPPIEN ‘…the walls of Castle in the Air are permeable; its content, ephemeral. It takes the form of a projection, developing at a magical moment like some object that in the morning rays of the sun seems close enough to touch, although it is kilometres away. Art bridges that gap; desire overcomes reality.’
