Ivar Veermäe Read Bio Collapse
Ivar Veermäe Veermäe’s work evolves similarly to the thread of a networked world while keeping a sharp eye on the functioning of an uncontrollable whole. As a result of long-term artistic research by means of photography, film, and sound, his works are presented in versatile ways (such as video, on-site installations, interactive works, performances, and public space interventions). His main interest lies in questions about public and private space, mediation processes, architecture and infrastructure, and information technology and networks—in their hidden or stealthy qualities and agenda. Veermäe has had solo exhibitions in Edith- Russ-Haus, Oldenburg; Gallery im Turm, Berlin;Tallinn Art Hall Gallery; Cultural Center Belgrade; and City Gallery of Tallinn; among others. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at the Riga Biennale, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the transmediale in Berlin, the Moscow Biennale for Young Art, the Bienalsur in Buenos Aires, the Bozar in Brussels, the ZKM in Karlsruhe, the Art Museum of Estonia, the Art Hall of Tallinn, the Estonian Contemporary Art Museum, the Latvian Center for Contemporary Art, the Kulturhuset Bronden in Denmark, the Kunstverein Wolfsburg, the Kunstverein Kassel, and the Pinnacles Gallery in Australia. His videos are currently on view at the Rencontres Internationales in Paris and Berlin, HeK Basel, transmediale in Berlin, AND Festival in Manchester, EMAF in Osnabrück, Kasseler Dokfest, Crosstalk Festival in Budapest, and Virtual Memorial in Cambodia.
