Unfurled is an public exhibition of flags that presents critical
responses and alternatives to the recent rise in nationalism and its
fanaticism.   Formerly exhibited in 2004 at Pond's gallery space in San
Francisco, Unfurled makes a European appearance at Galerii Y at the
University of Tartu in Estonia.  In its second incarnation, the
exhibition will present selections from the first exhibition alongside
additional works by international artists.  The exhibition includes
flags mounted on the exterior of Galerii Y with additional
interpretations of flags inside the gallery space.
