Baltics Art in Toronto (1992)

Exhibition of modern art "Baltics Arts during Brezhnev Era" is opened in an art gallery in Toronto. Estonian art historian living in Canada, Eda Sepp (simultaneous translation), is giving explanations in front of the artwork by Malle Leis. According to Sepp, forms of the so-called contemporary art were not favoured during the Soviet era; sociocritical messages and meanings in the art of painting were hidden. Artist Siim-Tanel Annus (syncro) is talking (simultaneous translation) about the unofficial art in Estonia with the example of his abstract artwork and performance art pieces from 1980s. The latter disturbed officials in the field of art so much that the material filmed about the artworks was confiscated and destroyed.
