The graphic art exhibition “Infinity Is Within Ourselves” is inspired both by questions of the reproducibility of graphic art, but also by the train of thought that has troubled humankind for millennia, that everything in this world has already been done, existed, and is in repetition. Both the curators and the artists probably often catch themselves thinking whether it is possible at all to create anything new in art? Nevertheless, new works and new combinations are always born that have not been seen or made before. The idea of the graphic art exhibition is to introduce the audience to good new Estonian graphic art that has been completed during the last two years.

The exhibition is part of the XXXI Pärnu Art Summer program.

This year, taking place for the 31st time, the Art Summer festival brings together five exhibitions across four exhibition venues, which open up the endless possibilities of expression of graphic art as one of the most versatile art forms. The exhibitions explore the intertwinings of graphic art with painting, place different generations and viewpoints into dialogue, and cast a look at both contemporary and decades-old Estonian graphic art.
