Monster Chetwynd's 'A Feather in your Hat!' Opens at Estonia National Museum on July 24, 2026
Monster Chetwynd's immersive installation 'A Feather in your Hat!' opens at the Estonia National Museum in Tartu, Estonia, on July 24, 2026, running through January 24, 2027. The exhibition marks the first showing of the British artist's work in the Baltic region, following a successful run at Copenhagen Contemporary. The centerpiece is the Red Hat Shop, a new work featuring shelves overflowing with peculiar faces and twisted creatures, alongside a green monster stage where visitors are encouraged to participate through hats, masks, and performative gestures. Known for her DIY aesthetic, Chetwynd combines humor, fantasy, and grotesque elements to create a sensory installation that invites play and transformation.
The Signal
The exhibition represents a significant institutional debut for Chetwynd in Northern Europe, expanding the geographic reach of her participatory practice. For collectors, it signals growing demand for immersive, audience-driven works that blur the line between art and performance. The gallery Sadie Coles HQ, which represents the artist, continues to place her work in prominent public institutions, reinforcing her standing in the contemporary art market. The Tartu venue, a national museum, aligns with Chetwynd's accessible, anti-elitist ethos.
