Berlin Installation, 2016

Berlin, the capital of Germany, has been a cultural melting pot in the middle of Europe. Once a metropol of Europe, later torn up by war and now reconnected, Berlin is a city with different faces. It is a place of diverse culture and divided past, which can be seen in the urban landscape of Berlin.

This year observation practice was focused on the definition of “Border” and the cityscape, that has been created due to the borders. We can observe borders as dividers of space. At the same time borders address a wider territory, which is able to generate social-cultural, economical and spacial relations in the widest aspect. The topic is relatively actual and it affects us all. The meaning of “Border” and its spacial presence has yet again shown its relevance through the massive migration of people in Europe.

The focus of the Practice was the Berlin Wall and the territory that surrounds it. One of the goals was to observe the changes that have been a constant process for the last 28 years. This opens up new spaces and situations – some older spaces have been forgotten, yet new ones have emerged. One could see it as a potential of the city.

3rd year students of Architecture and Urban Studies invite You to join us in our Berlin installation. The Berlin Installation is based on our experience we had during our stay in Berlin.

An ever-changing city, which is fully on tracks, busy and with a lot of layers, is still carrying the not so distant past within itself.

Observation Practice in the Architecture department is an every year tradition for 3rd Year Architecture students. This year it was Berlin and last year our colleagues visited Paris.
Tutors Andres Ojari and Maros Krivy.

7.00pm – 7.10pm Q&A
7.10pm – 7.30pm Reception

About the Book
In an era of increasingly available digital resources, many textile designers and makers find themselves at an interesting juncture between traditional craft processes and newer digital technologies. Highly specialized craft/design practitioners may now elect to make use of digital processes in their work, but often choose not to abandon craft skills fundamental to their practice, and aim to balance the complex connection between craft and digital processes. The essays collected here consider this transition from the viewpoint of aesthetic opportunity arising in the textile designer’s hands-on experimentation with material and digital technologies available in the present.

For further information, see here
Crafting Textiles in the Digital Age Series of Public Lectures

During the week of the book launch, a series of the following public lectures will take place at the Estonian Academy of Arts’ main building (Estonia puiestee 7, 10143 Tallinn), 4th floor, room 440A

Tuesday 15.11, 3.40pm – 4.30pm Anne Louise Bang
Hand Weaving, Digital Tools and Textile Design Education in Denmark
How are the knowledge and practical experience of traditional processes, specifically hand skills, applied in the context of digital jacquard handloom weaving? This lecture discusses ways in which the introduction of a digital jacquard handloom at the Design School Kolding have influenced the textile design education and thereby the craft and practice of hand weaving in Denmark.

Weavers are generally trained in systematic thinking, as they need to operate traditional looms that require a highly organized way of working, threading warp ends on a number of shafts and inserting weft picks in an accurate order. Regarding the organization of weft yarns, countermarch looms have a number of treadles connected to the shafts, whereas manual or computerized dobby looms work with lift plans. This means that the weaver must understand the interaction between shafts and treadles or lift plans in order to achieve the desired woven pattern. All this changed when we got access to the digital jacquard handloom. With this it became possible to use the loom as a dynamic design tool in textile design education. The lecture will exemplify ways in which digital tools in combination with hand skills and expertise represent a great potential for professional development.

Tuesday 15.11, 4.40pm – 5.30pm Susan Carden
A Novel Process within Digitally Printed Textile Design
In her lecture ‘A Novel Process within Digitally Printed Textile Design’ Dr Susan Carden will be describing a new technique discovered during her practice-led doctoral study at the Glasgow School of Art. While working in the studio she noticed a range of textile samples that she had previously been crafting were extremely cool after a number of days. Following a series of experiments conducted at the Electrical Engineering Department of Glasgow University, this effect was found to be an endothermic reaction, a process that absorbs heat from the surrounding area. This new technique was created during the printing process and numerous potential applications were identified including uses in health, fashion and sports products.

Susan’s presentation will describe the stages this discovery took and the implications for both her study and practice-led projects in general when alternative research methods are required. The scientific nature of the discovery was also a challenge in an art school setting, and this will be explored with references to the methodologies and research techniques she needed to adopt in order to successfully complete her doctoral project.

Wednesday 16.11, 4.40pm – 5.30pm Katherine Townsend
Closely Held Secrets: Embodied Knowledge in Fashion and Textile Practice
This lecture provides an overview of Closely Held Secrets, a research project and exhibition inspired by the hidden working relationship between the artist Grayson Perry and artisan Tony Taylor, which was adopted as a model by a group of individual artists/designers to explore digital embroidery as a new media. It will also discuss emerging methodologies and outcomes from current collaborative research projects that Katherine is involved in:Crafting Anatomies, The Electric Corset and Emotional Fit, which draw upon concealed material resources and embodied human interactions to inform design innovation.

Thursday 17.11, 4.40pm – 5.30pm – Kerry Walton
Technology, Tradition, Transition: Defining and Negotiating New Pathways in Contemporary Textile Design Education.
Change defines the modern world and Textile practitioners have always adapted to and ultimately thrived in response to the adaptation of new technologies. The fast pace of change in the last 2 decades, largely driven by the wide availability of digital media, and production capability within a broader global context, has necessitated a swift response by educational institutions, and significant reflection on where the priorities might lie for our students. With experience of design education spanning 5 decades I will be mapping a journey through this changing terrain, both as educator, researcher and practitioner, reflecting on the integration of traditional craft skills, digital opportunities and the ability of drawing to facilitate this relationship.

Call for Applications: Gallerist Master Course 2016 Estonian Contemporary Art Development Center (ECADC)

September 21 – October 2, 2016
Application Deadline: September 12, 2016

Tallinn, Estonia
www.ecadc.ee

This fall the Estonian Contemporary Art Development Center (ECADC) is presenting the third edition of its Gallerist Master Course in Tallinn, Estonia, offering training for both practicing and emerging gallerists.

The course is designed to introduce students to the dynamics of the art world infrastructure. Classes will discuss the various segments of today’s global art market (Alessia Zorloni, IULM); artist representation and the day-to-day operations of a commercial gallery (Sol Pochat, HILO Gallery); art journalism and writing for social media (Andrew M. Goldstein, Artspace, Phaidon); as well as more recent developments in exhibition-making and curating (Fatos Üstek, independent curator, fig2).

This eight-day intensive course will accept MA students with a demonstrated interest and/or experience in contemporary art as well as practicing gallerists, arts and culture managers, and artists. The entire course will be conducted in English.

September 21 – 22
Sol Pochat
Case Study of HILO Gallery

Established in 2015, HILO Galeria is an emerging gallery in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a special focus on site- and context-specific artistic and curatorial practices. The seminar will take the form of a case study on how to develop a sustainable gallery model representing emerging artists.

September 23 – 24
Alessia Zorloni
Introduction to the International Art Market

The art market, like most major business sectors in the 21st century, operates in a global environment and is complex, dynamic, and often seemingly irrational. This seminar will give students an understanding of the various segments of today’s ever-evolving international art market.

September 29 – 30
Fatos Üstek
Introduction to Contemporary Curatorial Practices

The seminar will address curatorial positions and the significant role they play in today’s arts ecology. Visiting a plethora of voices that are shaping the practice of contemporary curating, it will concentrate on different modalities and sensitivities that a curator employs in order to engage with art, and, more significantly, to make art public.

October 1 – 2
Andrew Goldstein
How to Write About Art (and Actually Get People to Read It)

Beginning with the polemicists and publications of the postwar era and going through the rise of the October magazine style to today’s proliferation of TMZ-like art sites, the seminar will take the form of a discussion on how art writing has dramatically changed over the past 70-odd years.

Classes will discuss the various segments of today’s global art market (Alessia Zorloni, IULM); artist representation and the day-to-day operations of a commercial gallery (Sol Pochat, HILO Gallery); art journalism and writing for social media (Andrew M. Goldstein, Artspace, Phaidon); as well as more recent developments in exhibition-making and curating (Fatos Üstek, independent curator, fig2).

This eight-day intensive course will accept MA students with a demonstrated interest and/or experience in contemporary art as well as practicing gallerists, arts and culture managers, and artists. The entire course will be conducted in English.

September 21 – 22
Sol Pochat
Case Study of HILO Gallery

Established in 2015, HILO Galeria is an emerging gallery in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a special focus on site- and context-specific artistic and curatorial practices. The seminar will take the form of a case study on how to develop a sustainable gallery model representing emerging artists.

September 23 – 24
Alessia Zorloni
Introduction to the International Art Market

The art market, like most major business sectors in the 21st century, operates in a global environment and is complex, dynamic, and often seemingly irrational. This seminar will give students an understanding of the various segments of today’s ever-evolving international art market.

September 29 – 30
Fatos Üstek
Introduction to Contemporary Curatorial Practices

The seminar will address curatorial positions and the significant role they play in today’s arts ecology. Visiting a plethora of voices that are shaping the practice of contemporary curating, it will concentrate on different modalities and sensitivities that a curator employs in order to engage with art, and, more significantly, to make art public.

October 1 – 2
Andrew Goldstein
How to Write About Art (and Actually Get People to Read It)

Beginning with the polemicists and publications of the postwar era and going through the rise of the October magazine style to today’s proliferation of TMZ-like art sites, the seminar will take the form of a discussion on how art writing has dramatically changed over the past 70-odd years.
