Ars Baltica - Triennial of Photography, 'Return to the past - the end of utopia' constitutes the first undertaking on large scale, which came into existence thanks to the co-operation between the Baltic Sea region countries. The idea of this exhibition emerged some years ago. It was initiated by Barbara Straka, and further developed by Dr Enno Kaufhold, a critic and photography historian from Berlin. The ceremonial opening of the exhibition took place in Szlezwik in North Germany in April 1997. One day symposium was held the day after, with the presence of artists and invited critics. The exhibition has already been presented in several European cities (Berlin, Dresden, Helsinki, Tallinn and Odessa). After closing the exhibition in CCA it will also be presented in Poznaƒ in late autumn, during the Month of Photography held there. source: http://csw.art.pl/new/97/baltic1e.html ] Peeter Maria Laurits (Estonia) Cain and Abel from the series Fables 1994, 40 x 60 cm Kapa (Finland) From the series Finds in Time, 1987 36 x 36cm Are there any processes occurring at the moment, which will lead to cultural integration of these countries, or will the ideas, aesthetics and ways of mutual penetration of ideas be different? Perhaps there are some similarities, congruencies, or common roots? Can cultural and geographic differences be factors which determine achievements of artists from these countries? Does so recently emphasised individualism annihilate all dreams about harmony and unity in art? There are many more questions of this type, which could be asked in the connection to the works of 13 artists taking part in this exhibition. Nowadays, when Europe unifies and the co-operation between countries gets closer and closer, these questions become more and more crucial and urgent.
