Estonian Embassy, Washington, DC

District Clay Center and the Embassy of Estonia are proud to present an artist talk with internationally renowned artist Sergei Isupov. Hosted at the embassy in Washington, DC, Isupov is joined by Aari Lemmik (Counselor for Press and Cultural Affairs) and Connor Czora (Creative Director at DCC).

“Art Across Borders” takes place in conjunction with Isupov’s solo exhibition at District Clay Center, “Moments from Eternity”. The exhibition reflects on Isupov’s experiences as an Estonian-American artist, documenting his life as a multinational dual citizen. Born in Russia during the USSR, raised in Kyiv, Ukraine, and educated in Tallinn, Estonia, Isupov emigrated to begin a new life in 1994. Sergei’s recent sculptures and “EMPATHS” installation capture the atmosphere in the wake of Russian aggression near his families in Ukraine and Estonia. “FIGURE: Form + Surface”, the corresponding workshop, allowed participants to learn the techniques Isupov uses to sculpt these porcelain masterworks.

DCC would like to thank Sergei Isupov, Aari Lemmik, the Embassy of Estonia, and Leslie Ferrin for making this event possible.
