Anna Mari Liivrand

Anna Mari Livrand is an Estonian artist whose installations and drawings express evanescence and melancholy in today’s society. Her works combine unusual materials (e.g., pieces of her skin, vitamins, etc.) and traditional craft practices in elegant spatial installations.

Kogo is a contemporary art gallery that opened in Apaaraditehas in Tartu in the spring of 2018, and is aimed at improving the international visibility of artists and introducing their art practice more broadly.
