At 6 pm on March 26, a solo exhibition of Estonian artist Edith Karlson entitled ‘Four Letter World’ is opening at the (AV17) Gallery.
Hate, love, work, fear, cash, spam, pain, perv, scam, weak, game, meme, poop–these are words describing the feelings and states of an individual living in a four letter world. The sculptural installations of Estonian artist Edith Karlson reflect a person stuck in a chaotic and absurd world and constantly fighting against one’s own feelings. Animals and anthropomorphic figures are the main protagonists here, expressing diverse characters in a sad and at the same time ironical courses of life.
