A scholar of cultural theory, art history, and semiotics, Agu encourages viewers to explore different visual modes of communication\u2014ranging from legible and illegible inscriptions to clouds, symbolic systems, and light itself. \u201cLet us decelerate, pause, and carefully observe the artists\u2019 visual notes,\u201d she proposes. \u201cThere is one key distinction between language and image: language strives for precision, whereas images, by their very nature, are ambiguous and open to interpretation,\u201d the curator notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the vast majority of artists featured in the Triennial are our contemporaries, one stands apart: an artist who passed away in 1970, but whose work continues to evoke deep emotional and intellectual responses\u2014\u00dclo Sooster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invited Tenno Sooster\u2014artist and head of the Sooster Foundation\u2014to comment on the works by his father included in the exhibition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLembit Saarts, my father\u2019s friend and fellow student, once recalled how they constantly discussed art\u2014at Pallas, in the dormitory, in caf\u00e9s, and even in prison. Later, Yuri Nolev-Sobolev, a close friend and collaborator of my father, observed that this \u2018speaking-through-art\u2014articulating oneself within art and creativity\u2019 became a totalizing and genuinely new phenomenon within avant-garde circles. That\u2019s why I see the drawing Dialogue as a humorous, caricature-like reflection of those endless conversations. The rest of the graphic works embody a range of movements and fascinations\u2014mediated through science and the conscious mind, but equally through the unconscious and abstract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"894\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/14081832\/518126209_122228837336084492_326066728332494500_n.jpg?v=1752481115\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/14081832\/518126209_122228837336084492_326066728332494500_n.jpg 894w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/14081832\/518126209_122228837336084492_326066728332494500_n.jpg 300w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/14081832\/518126209_122228837336084492_326066728332494500_n.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/14081832\/518126209_122228837336084492_326066728332494500_n.jpg 15w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption translation-block\">Image: Dialogue.
