8 Women. 4 Spatial Dialogues

The exhibition 8 Women. 4 Spatial Dialogues brings into focus four women interior architects who reached their creative peaks during the Soviet period – Maia Laul, Kirsti Laanemaa, Aate-Heli Õun and Maimu Plees – and offers four practising women interior architects the opportunity to study, question and draw inspiration from the work of their predecessors. Laul, Laanemaa, Õun and Plees are women who designed major public interiors, led the spatial culture of their time, articulated creative ambitions through remarkable installations at exhibitions and worked both as sole authors and as collaborators within large collectives. All four are compelling personalities and creators who were, at times, overlooked as authors nonetheless.
