EKA Gallery

On Wednesday, 5 September at 17.00 EKA Gallery and the Faculty of Fine arts invite you to a public lecture on radical digital art by visiting artist Jeffrey Alan Scudder (USA). The lecture is in English and takes place in room A302.

Lecture “Radical Digital Painting” groups and presents several ideas and artifacts related to contemporary painting and contextualizes its connection to historical processes and digital technology. It is inspired by and is a continuation of Radical Computer Music. Through demonstrative, interactive performance lectures, American artist and educator Jeffrey Alan Scudder presents homegrown software inventions and new theories about painting and picture making. A Google search for “digital painting” today mostly brings up Photoshop tutorials related to translating age old representational painting techniques to computational media, but the topic of digital painting has much more to offer fine arts in terms of poetry and theory. Jeffrey has created several programs that highlight abstract expressivity, play, and improvisation over production quality and technical control.

In addition to software demos, new theoretical models of image resolution, computer literacy, and picture making are presented and described, and connected to the history of abstraction in drawing and painting. He presently spends all his time traveling, performing, and continuing to develop his software and media performances.

As of summer and fall 2018 he is traveling and lecturing with the Danish composer Goodiepal and his band throughout Europe. Jeffrey’s work Ten Minute Painting is now a part of the permanent Goodiepal collection at the SMK Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.

SISU Symposium of Interior Architecture and Spatial Use 2017 “Naked Space”
7. – 8. 06. Luzern, Neubad, Switzerland and Mobile Classroom of the EAA Dept of Interior Architecture, in Tallinn

The SISU 2017 symposium will focus on re-use of interior space and community-driven redesign processes. The symposium will shed light on the question, how interior architecture is able to create an identity for naked space while ‘re-dressing’ it, and how this can contribute new value to the whole neighbourhood. What are our needs today and how does it influence the re-purposing process? How can we investigate the space inside the buildings of the past?

SISU will approach these questions across different disciplines including interior architects/designers, architects, filmmakers, academics and students from different cultures for the first time in parallel in Switzerland and in Estonia.

The Estonian Association of Interior Architects, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Art / School of Engineering and Architecture, the Estonian Academy of Arts / Department of Interior Architecture and the Association of Swiss Interior Architects have the honour of inviting You to the 4th International Interior Architecture Symposium SISU

WELCOME TO THE SMALL FASHION ILLUSTRATION EXHIBITION
SCFI – SHORT COURSE FASHION ILLUSTRATION 2015.
THESE ARE CHOSEN WORKS OF FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS CREATED BY SECOND YEAR ESTONIAN ART ACADEMY FASHION STUDENTS. THE WORKS WERE CREATED THROUGHOUT A SHORT COURSE HELD INBETWEEN 1.09.2015 – 05.10.2015 BY A FASHION DESIGNER AND AN ILLUSTRATOR BRITT SAMOSON
THE PURPOSE OF THE COURSE WAS TO GIVE THESE NEW YOUNG FASHION DESIGNERS A NEW OUTPUT AT EXPRESSING THEIR DESIGNS OR CREATE NEW POSSIBILITIES IN THE FIELD AS A FASHION ILLUSTRATOR.
BY TRYING OUT DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES AND USING MULTIPLE TOOLS EACH YOUNG ILLUSTRATOR HAD THE ASSIGNMENT TO FIND A STYLE THAT IS MOST SUITABLE AND FLUENT FOR THE ARTIST AND THAT ALSO RESONATES WITH THE PUBLIC. IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT HAND IN HAND WITH DEVELOPING TECHNICAL SKILLS AN ILLUSTRATOR SHOULD ALSO GIVE PURPOSE FOR THEIR WORKS IN KNOWING WHETHER THEY ARE CREATING FOR A MAGAZINE OR A BRAND OR FOR AN ART BUYER.
