A conversation with Katherine Ryckman Siegwarth, Vita Liberte and Marge Monko.
Moderated by Karin Laansoo.
At Kai Art Center’s auditorium. The discussion is held in English and is part of the Foto Tallinn 2024 program.
Is the biennial model of creating interest in cities and regions with global aspirations still future-proof? How can these large-scale events with often ephemeral organizations and changing artistic teams have a lasting impact in their host cities? Where is a good balance between participating international and local artists? Katherine Ryckman Siegwarth, Vita Liberte, and Marge Monko take a deep dive into biennials in Cincinnati, Riga, and Tallinn.
Katherine Ryckman Siegwarth is the Executive Director of FotoFocus, a Cincinnati-based nonprofit dedicated to championing lens-based art.
Vita Liberte is a collector, diplomat, and founder of VV Foundation.
Marge Monko is an artist, professor at Estonian Academy of Arts and co-founder of Tallinn Photomonth Biennial.
Karin Laansoo, a member of Foto Tallinn 2024 jury, is the Executive Director and board member of the Estonian Contemporary Art Development Center (ECADC) and Artistic Director of Kai Art Center.
