TASE

Estonian Academy of Arts invites to the showing of student films – TASE FILM. The festival is going to take place on June 12 at 6 PM at EKA assembly hall.

The film festival is divided into two parts: the first one focuses on the films made in the cooperation of EKA and BFM students, where the main focus is on the importance of scenography in film. The second part of screening focuses on short films made by students and tries to discover if short films can be seen as portraits, or as a poem, carrying the unique voice and message within them. The program is curated by Mariliis Elizabeth Holzmann.

TASE is the annual spring graduation show of the Estonian Academy of Arts, with this year’s main exhibition taking place at the Faculty of Fine Arts building at Lembitu 10. The exhibition will open on 30 May at 17:00 and the final projects will remain on view until 13 June.

The exhibition can be considered a farewell ceremony to the temporary spaces EKA has been working on since its main academic building at Tartu mnt. 1 was demolished eight years ago. The Lembitu 10 building has hosted EKA’s academic and creative activities over the past four years and, with the TASE ’18 exhibition, students will have a chance, as a symbolic gesture, to show their final projects in a space that EKA will leave behind when it moves to the new building this summer.

The exhibition will feature the final projects of fine arts, architecture, design and art and culture master’s students with the additional final works of fine arts bachelor’s students.

Main organiser: Keiu Krikmann

Co-organisers: Fidelia Regina Randmäe, Solveig Jahnke, Mart Vainre, Maarja Pabut, Laura Kuusk, Kelli Turman and Ingela Heinaste

Exhibition design: Ulla Alla, Madli Kaljuste and Margus Tammik

Graphic design: Martina Gofman, Johanna Ruukholm, Nathan Tulve; supervisor: Indrek Sirkel

Preliminary review: 3 June at 4 pm
Exhibition: 4 and 5 June, 4–7 pm
The bathroom is an intimate space where we execute contrasting actions and behaviors. We use this private space daily for cleaning ourselves of the impurity that accumulates by washing our bodies, hands and hair. In this space, we face the mirror where our hair can be combed and plaited or remove our unwanted hair. This intimate space is also the place where we expel our filth – our repugnant fluids and excrement.
In my recent works, my attention has focused on exploring the use and significance of human hair as a material in jewellery and art. The work’s purpose is to apply of the often ambiguous features present in hair and its potential to produce different and often opposing/contradictory meanings and reactions.
After washing your hands, you are welcome to touch the objects.
Carla Castiajo has studied and taught jewellery as a medium of expression. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Konstfack in Stockholm, Sweden and is currently a doctoral student at the Estonian Academy of Arts in Tallinn. The subject of her research is Hair: Purity or Promiscuity? Exploring Hair as a Material and its Meaning in Jewellery and Art.
She has taught at the BNU in Pakistan, the Oakham School in Britain, the ESAD in Portugal and the EKA in Estonia. Her work has been exhibited internationally.
Paul Beaudoin is an internationally recognized multimedia artist.
