Jüri Kassi isikunäitus KASSI ASI Vabaduse galeriis 6.11 – 6.12.2026Vabaduse galeriis avatakse 6. novembril kell 17 Jüri Kassi näitus KASSI ASI, milles kunstnik vaatleb enda ja oma töö suhet, küsides retooriliselt, et mis on see, millele ta on oma näituse pühendanud.
Kunstniku ja disaineri karjäär on seotud objektidega, asjadega, füüsiliste kehadega.
Igal asjal on oma lugu. Iga ese kannab endas minevikku, kuid võib saada olevikus uue tähenduse ja osutada tulevikku. Isiklikust mälestusest saab märk, mille tähendus ulatub kaugemale selle algsest loost.
KASSI ASI on ka vaataja asi – võimalus leida neis esemetes iseenda mälestusi, tundeid ja kogemusi. Milline ese äratab äratundmise? Milline puudutab isiklikult?
Asjad on aga asetatud tavatusse seisundisse või olukorda. Tuttavlik ja ehe on muutunud, omandanud uue tähenduse ja väärtuse. Asjade kaudu esitab kunstik küsimusi aja ja koha, hoidmise ja loobumise, kaotuse ja leidmise kohta.
Jüri Kass on lõpetanud Eesti Riikliku Kunstiinstituudi (ERKI) disaini erialal. Ta on Eesti Kunstnike Liidu liige ning tegutseb graafilise disaini, joonistamise, graafika, maalikunsti ja installatsiooni valdkonnas. Ta töötab ka kunstiõpetajana. Kass on esinenud ligi kahekümnel isikunäitusel ning pälvinud mitmeid auhindu Eestis ja välismaal. Tema teoseid leidub Kumu kunstimuuseumi, Győri kunstimuuseumi, Eesti Tarbekunsti- ja Disainimuuseumi ning Tallinna linna kunstikogus ja erakogudes.

Jüri Kass's solo exhibition MATTER OF KASS in Vabaduse gallery on November 6th until December 6th, 2026
Artist Jüri Kass's solo exhibition MATTER OF KASS will be opened in Vabaduse gallery on November 6th, 2026 at 5 pm. The artist reflects on the relationship between himself and his work, asking rhetorically what it is to which he has dedicated his exhibition.
The career of an artist and designer is related to objects, things and physical bodies.
Every tobject has its own story. Every object embodies the past, but can acquire new meaning in the present and point towards the future. A personal memory becomes a symbol whose significance extends beyond its original story.
MATTER OF KASS is also a matter of the exhibition viewer – an opportunity to find one’s own memories, feelings and experiences. Which object triggers recognition? Which one touches the viewer personally?
The objects, however, have been placed in an unusual state or situation. The familiar and the authentic have been transformed, acquired new meaning and value. Through these objects, the artist raises questions about time and place, keeping close and letting go, loss and discovery.
Jüri Kass has graduated from the department of design at the Estonian State Art Institute (now Estonian Academy of Arts). He is a member of the Estonian Artists' Association and he works in the fields of graphic design, drawing, graphic art, painting and installation. Also, he works as an art teacher. Kass has participated in held about twenty solo exhibitions and has received several art awards both in Estonia and abroad. His artworks belong to the collections of Kumu Art Museum, Győr Art Museum, Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design, City of Tallinn and private art collectors.
The artist expresses his gratitude to Ülle Marks, Madis Verro, Tõnis Tilga, Aivar Kurenõmm and Tago Laevameister.
Exhibition is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
The artist requests that no flowers be brought to the opening. 💐
