Fotografiska Tallinn

Brainstorm in Tallinn

Who doesn’t know Brainstormi? The Latvian pop-rock band shot to fame like a comet when they appeared on the Eurovision stage. They are still going strong and touring actively – and they also released a brand-new album in 2025.

Brainstorm and Anton Corbijn

The band now arrives to Estonia, as legendary music photographer Anton Corbijn opens a major exhibition at Fotografiska on the evening of 23 January. Alongside some of the biggest names in global music – including U2, Depeche Mode, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, and many more – Brainstorm has also stood in front of Corbijn’s camera on several occasions.

More than that, Corbijn has designed an entire album cover for Brainstorm and helped shape their visual identity. All this makes it more than fitting to bring everyone together in Tallinn to mark the opening of this remarkable exhibition.

Live podcast recording at Fotografiska 22 January at 18:00

On the evening before the exhibition opens, Fotografiska will host a live podcast recording exploring the creative relationship between Brainstorm and Anton Corbijn. The discussion will touch on their collaborations – some of which reportedly took place in Estonia – Corbijn’s role in shaping the visual history of popular music, and what the band has been working on both then and now.

Brainstorm will be interviewed by Ingrid Kohtla, Head of Communications and Content Curator for Tallinn Music Week (TMW) and Station Narva.

Anton Corbijn once said about Brainstorm: “I can’t tell you how much I felt at home with them and felt we were all together trying to achieve something.”

So come and hear what that feeling of “home” sounds like from Brainstorm’s perspective.

  • At the gorund floor hall
  • Ticket: €15 / €10

Anton Corbijn in Tallinn

The opening of Anton Corbijn’s exhibition brings a full program of special events to Fotografiska.

Opening weekend begins on Thursday, 22 January at 18:00 with the live podcast recording featuring Brainstorm, followed at 19:00 by a Corbijn-themed dinner at the restaurant and the first preview of the upcoming exhibition.

On Friday, 23 January at 16:00, visitors can join the exhibition’s only guided tour led by Corbijn himself. Later that evening at 20:00, the museum will transform into a live music venue as the exhibition officially opens with a blast.

On Saturday, 24 January at 16:00, a live recording of the Muusikanõunikud podcast with Corbijn will take place, launching the Corbijn Sessions – a series of Corbijn-focused events running throughout the exhibition period.

The exhibition will be open to the public with a regular museum ticket starting Saturday, 24 January.
