Belly-up Dream (Dog or Fish?) | K. Ala-Ketola and G. Kulla ❖ Memory Exercise

The final event of the program "Belly-up Dream (Dog or Fish?)" will take place on November 28 at 6:30 PM, featuring the opening of a multi-layered exhibition by Finnish artist Kristoffer Ala-Ketola. The exhibition opening will be complemented by a special performance by Estonian oboist and performance artist Gregor Kulla at 7 PM.

.˳·˖𓆩𓁺𓆪˖·˳.

Through this exhibition, the artist will explore the biomorphic, the mysterious, and the psyche’s adaptation to life’s challenges through moving images, sculpture, and painting. Ala-Ketola’s work, presented as a mind map of interwoven forms, employs exoskeleton and medieval armor motifs to explore vulnerability and strength.

His pieces draw connections between the resilience of nature, as seen in crustacean exoskeletons, and human-made armor—both representing protective instincts and transformative potential. Ala-Ketola’s work particularly resonates with queer culture’s themes of self-protection and evolution, inviting viewers to reflect on their own resilience.

.˳·˖𓆩𓁺𓆪˖·˳.

Special Performance: Recital by Gregor Kulla - 7:00 PM Gregor Kulla’s works address the disparity between contemporary queer forms of performance and those dominant in classical performance and music, both broadly and in Estonia.

Kulla’s Recital will juxtapose their electronic music compositions with an archive of classical experimental music, which will be accompanied by their live oboe performance. Recital reflects on tantric practices and feminine power as depicted in different mythologies, narrated around the notion of rebirth and its connection to time, change, and death.
