Olen maalikunstnik, kes on teinud lisaks tegevuskunsti, mõned filmid ja kirjutanud filosoofiat. Käesolevalt õpin Eesti Kunstiakadeemia Kunsti ja Disaini eriala doktorantuuris ja minu uurimise alaks on tuvastada kunstnike ülesandeid ühiskondlike tavade kujundajatena. Mõtestan kunstnikele tavapäraseid tegevusi läbi ühiskondlikus arutelus kunstile seatud ootuste. Küsimus nende ootuste vastavusest kunstina esitatud praktikate tingimustele, asetub laiemasse arutellu sellest, mis määrab kunstnike ühiskondlike positsioone.

Rait Rosin is practising artist and scholar of pragmatist philosophy. His master thesis on pragmatist aesthetics is focused on topic: In which way emotionally enriched expression could be conceptualised as wholesome and on what extent we could account this conception as useful for artist practices. His works are rooted in conceptual art disciplines whereas film, installation, performance, painting and drawing are the basic medias for expression. Rait Rosin earned both a BA (2005) and a MA (2007) in painting from the Estonian Academy of Arts, and an additional MA (2013) in Philosophy from Tallinn University. Since 2015, he has been completing a PhD at the Estonian Academy of Arts in the Art and Design study program. His research pertains to issues that relate to social norms and the ways in which artists, together as one certain part of society, are able to access shared but distant collective norms, and how these norms are shaping individual artists and their subjectivity in the contemporary art scene. During the studies and thereafter he have been doing several solo and group exhibitions and performances mainly in Estonia but also in times of being resident artist in Austria, in Finland, in Latvia and in Lithuania.
