Marisa Jahn - mural
Marisa worked intensively during PostsovkhoZ with the youth, assistants and local community of Mooste to design and paint a mural on one of the block houses. Maps were drawn of small spaces in front of the house where insects, animals and people moved. These movements were documented and translated into diagramatic forms by a team of children. Marisa then took the composite diagram and rendered it for the template of the mural. Then, with a dedicated team, the mural was carefully painted onto the surface of the building. The mural is an achievement for public art in the village. Marisa received a great ammount of assistance from Mari Jõgiste, Kaie Luik, Doris Allese, and the children of Mooste.

San Fransiscost tuleb Moostesse kunstnik, õpetaja, kirjanik ja organisaator Marisa Jahn. Eestisse toob Marisa endaga kaasa näituse “Unfurled”, millele on aktiivselt kaasöid teinud kunstnikud Ameerika Ühendriikidest ja mitmelt poolt Euroopast. “Unfurled” on näitus lippudest, see on omamoodi alternatiiv ja kriitiline reageering viimasel ajal pead tõstvatele natsionalismiilmingutele ja fanatismile. Viimati oli “Unfurled” avalikkusele kaeda 2004. aastal San Fransiscos “Pond”i galeriipinnal. Näituse esimene Euroopa etteaste leiab aset PostsovkhoZi satelliitnäitusepinnal Y-galeriis Tartus. Lisaks sellele viib Marisa Moostes läbi seinamaali tegemise õpitoa noortele koos eesti kunstniku Kaie Luigega. Marisa on sarnaseid seinamaali töötubasid, kus noored kajastavad endi suhteid ümbritsevaga läbi viinud varem Degirmendere´sTürgis (1999) ja San Fransiscos (2004).
2001. aastal asutas ta koos Steve Shadaga San Fransisco´s organisatsiooni Pond, mis on kunstiaktivistide rohujuureorganisatsioon, pühendunud esperimentaalse kunsti tegemisele ja näitamisele. Pondi eesmärk on luua mittevõistluslik foorum, et julgustada dialoogi kunstnike ja laiema kogukonna vahel kõigile juurdepääasetavas aga samas intiimses keskkonnas.

From San Fransisco comes to Mooste artist, educator, creative writer and organiser Marisa Jahn. With herself she will bring and exhibition of flags “Unfurled” Unfurled is an public exhibition of flags that presents critical responses and alternatives to the recent rise in nationalism and its fanaticism. Formerly exhibited in 2004 at Pond’s gallery space in San Francisco, Unfurled makes a European appearance at PostsovkhoZ satellite exhibition site at Galerii Y at the University of Tartu in Estonia. In its second incarnation, the exhibition will present selections from the first exhibition alongside additional works by international artists. The exhibition includes flags mounted on the exterior of Galerii Y with additional interpretations of flags inside the gallery space. Besides “Unfurled” Marisa will conduct also the workshop of mural for local youth together with Estonian teacher and artist Kaie Luik. She has done similar kind of community mural projects, where youth are reflecting their relation to surrounding at Degirmendere (Turkey 1999) and San Fransisco (2004).

In 2001 she co-founded with Steve Shada an organisation called Pond. Pond is a 501(3)c nonprofit grassroots art-activist organization dedicated to showcasing experimental art. Our mission is to create a non-competitive forum that fosters dialogue between artists and the greater community in an accessible and intimate environment.
