Kogo Gallery

About Kogo Gallery

Kogo is a contemporary art gallery that opened at The Widget Factory in Tartu in the spring of 2018, and is aimed at improving the international visibility of artists and introducing their art practice more broadly. At the centre of Kogo’s diverse exhibition programme are artists’ solo projects and exhibitions created in collaboration with artists and curators. Kogo is committed to supporting free creative expression, interdisciplinarity, imagination and innovative ideas in art, as well as initiating and maintaining creative relationships and uniting the community of artists and art enthusiasts. We consider it important to encourage dialogue through contemporary art in order to promote discussion on issues that are relevant in society. We have organised various events to accompany the exhibitions held at Kogo gallery, including artist talks, lectures, guided tours, screenings, concerts, book presentations and art performances, involving physicists, philosophers, environmental activists, legal experts, ethnologists, writers, musicians, performers etc. The public exhibition and audience programme is organised by Kogo Galerii MTÜ. In addition to activities aimed at the public, Kogo Gallery has a mission in promoting the collection of art and bringing artists to the international market. This work is coordinated by Galerii Kogo OÜ. Official information on both organisations can be accessed through the e-Business Register. The name of Kogo Gallery comes from the Võru language and means “all of”, “together” or “collection”. For us, Kogo means collecting, experiencing and coming together as a community.
