Description

Eva Mustonen (1986) has studied textile design, semiotics in Tartu and Gothenburg and sculpture in Tallinn. In her projects, personal narratives that speak of being different, living somewhere in the margins of society and becoming invisible in the public sphere dominate . In her work, she combines both textile design techniques and the products of everyday acts and doings. Mustonen’s works stand out because of her usage of tightly crafted and recognisable materials and unexpectedly beautiful mystical objects.

The installation “My Little Horror Picture Show” paraphrases the “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975) musical horror comedy film by 20th Century Fox directed by Jim Sharman. The work was first exhibited in the artist’s solo show “Looks Promising” (2015) in Hop gallery, Tallinn, and afterwards in her solo show “Diamond House” (2017) in Tartu Art Hall. The work seems to talk about ambivalent and complex feelings and meanings around the concept of home.

Eva Mustonen studied textile design at Tartu Art College (BA, 2010), textile art at University of Gothenburg (2012, MA) and at the department of sculpture and installation at the Estonian Academy of Arts (MA, 2018). She has participated in group exhibitions in Estonia, Sweden and Lithuania. In 2019 she was a resident at the Rupert Residency Program. In 2014 she was awarded with the Young Textile Artist Award and in 2017 the Eduard Wiiralt Stipend. In 2021 Mustonen undertook a residency at WIELS Contemporary Art Center.
