Rasina T

e


I would like to open a new art gallery, or open ended exhibition space in a small abandoned building located on the route to Resina, a neighboring village to Mooste. "Route to Rasina" would be the name for it, in Estonian it would be called "Rasina T" because "tee" means route. The small building has windows all around it, so work could be viewed from the outside even when the gallery is closed. However, the work would not be situated in the direction of the window, as in storefront displays. My idea for the gallery space is that it would expand the life of the town, by giving it another potential social hub where people could congregate & mingle amongst each other. I would also like the gallery to have an online presence for the more international art community to follow various happenings in Mooste. In a way it would be an extension to MoKS, but it would also have it's own identity. I would like it to exhibit selected work from the students at the local school as well as visiting MoKS residents, which are coming from all over the world & are at various stages in their careers. Today I took Evelyn & John there to show them where I meant. They seemed to like the idea, & we also wandered around back to see if we could find someone to talk to about who owned the place & if we could use it for a while to make a gallery. We caught the man in charge as he was exiting the outhouse and fastening up his overalls. Evelyn ran the idea by him, and he confirmed that he was the one renting out the entire complex to build log houses- but that they were not using that particular building. He seemed to perk up at the idea after Evelyn expressed how I wanted to clean it up and wash all the windows etc. He said to come back the following day around the same time.
