A solo exhibition by Estonian pioneer of sound and kinetic art, Kaarel Kurismaa, has opened in Zurich, showcasing a substantial number of his works from the 1990s. This is the first time such a comprehensive display of his creations has been presented abroad, offering visitors a glimpse into Kurismaa's playful and innovative artistry.

The Kunsthalle Zurich exhibition features whimsical sculptures resembling grasshoppers that interact with small cymbals, contributing to an immersive auditory experience. In the center of the room, sculptures that evoke tall purple stools stand out, accompanied by sounds that invoke memories of childhood freedom alongside old railways. Curator Fanny Hauser highlights Kurismaa's enduring curiosity and playfulness, noting that the artist has maintained a childlike quality in his work, which retains a sense of wonder and exploration.

One of the featured works is titled 'Alma Raudtee,' which could refer to a personal connection or symbolize a broader theme. The ambiguity of its title reinforces the exhibition's focus on playful interpretation, allowing viewers to engage with the art on a personal level. Overall, Kurismaa’s exhibition is not only a showcase of past works but a testament to the artist's continuous evolution and relevance in contemporary art.
