A material that holds the potential to transform but has not yet been processed for that change could be described as raw. If there is no intention to make anything, raw material stays simply material.

Nils Hint
At the same time, even in a static and solid state, nothing in matter truly stands still as the particles randomly vibrate around the positions assigned to them. The exhibition speaks about the complex forced choice between making and not making.
Nils Hint (1986) is an Estonian metal artist and Associate Professor in the Department of Jewellery and Blacksmithing at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Working experimentally with iron and steel, he creates contemporary jewellery, objects, and sculptural forms. Most recently, Hint has exhibited in Sweden, Germany, and Canada. He is an important contributor to professional networks connecting Nordic and European metal artists, such as the initiative Iron Notes.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday: 10 am - 6 pm. Saturday: 11 am - 4 pm.
Thanks to: Aleš Rezler, Michal Schoorl, and Alexander Matthias Saage.
Exhibitions at A-Galerii are supported by the Estonian Cultural Endowment.
The exhibition will stay open until 28.03.2026.
