‘Ups!’ in Narva

The visual arts exhibition ‘Ups!’ weaves a narrative of bigger and smaller, lesser-known and better-known Nordic stories.

Using humour, biographical material and myths, the artists depict memories of the past, human relationships and key contemporary themes, creating narratives that focus on human nature rather than the natural environment of the Nordic countries.

Visitors will find themselves transported to a Nordic fantasy world where caricatures and comics provide inspiration and represent fully-fledged, independent works of art. The works in the exhibition unveil a perception of comic art that presents to the viewer stories which are expressed graphically, as illustrations or through textiles, paintings or installations.
