The group, later joined by <strong>Ene K\u00e4rema<\/strong> (1948) and <strong>Tiit Paalm\u00e4e<\/strong> (1948), freshened the landscape of the end of the 1970s\u2019 Estonian photo art landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s first appearance in public was in the August of 1975 in the Pegasus caf\u00e9 in Tallinn. Later exhibitions followed in the Art Institute of Estonia and in the \u201cPhoto Tower\u201d Kiek in de K\u00f6k, and thereafter in France, Lithuania, Latvia and Russia. The photo group BEG stood out in exhibitions and photo contests, attaining prize positions and bringing home diplomas. They were broadcast in local and international media and television. The active period of the group ended with the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Members of BEG used brave and creatively different photo technological possibilities, which were not in wide use back then. They enlarged their exhibition works on aerial photo materials, toned and colorised their photos, and so on. The aim of the photo group was to create exhibition projects that were entire, the works were often collaborations. This is confirmed by K\u00e4rema and Paalm\u00e4e\u2019s children-themed photos and also by Klimov and Kuljus\u2019s act series that was photographed in the airport. The group strongly stood for environmental and social issues, and they spoke of these, in the words of Peeter Tooming, sometimes mildly, but also at times in a brutal or even ruthless manner.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition displays 38 original works and two author films.<br \/>\nThe exhibition is open until 15th of March, 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curators: Tanel Verk and Maruta Varrak<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We thank: Galina Kuljus, Ene K\u00e4rema, Merike Neidorp, Tiit Paalm\u00e4e, Sirje Runge and Boris Telits\u00f5n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-35729\" src=\"\/\/linnamuuseum.ee.klient.veebimajutus.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/BEG_K2rema_MK_2022-180x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/BEG_K2rema_MK_2022-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/BEG_K2rema_MK_2022-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retrospective exhibition \u201cPhoto Group BEG 45\u201d will be opened in the gallery of the Museum of Photography on the 23rd of January at 17.30.
