The ways that materials and garments are created, are in a constant change. There are continuous dialogues between the appearance and functionality of the clothing. Sustainable design examples emerge as alternatives next to the mass production, and technology integrates into garment production means in different levels. Exploring alternative futures for textile and garment production, the exhibition presents examples from diverse interpretations of connecting textiles with technology. Textile Futures talk offers the opportunity to meet with the designers, artists and technologists behind the exhibition work to understand more their vision for the textile futures.

Anja Hertenberger (Holland) explores how technology can help us connect to our bodies and maximize our senses. Tara St James (USA) introduces sustainability in fashion. Oscar Tomico (Holland/Spain) offers insights into bringing technology close to the body. Kristi Kuusk (Estonia) wonders about the exhibition “Textile Futures” and talks to the Fashion & Textile MA students of Estonian Academy of Arts about their work at the exhibition.

Sofia Hallik “Born-Digitals”
26.01.-14.02.2017

HOP gallery
Tallinn
Hobusepea 2

You are kindly invited to Sofia Hallik’s solo exhibition “Born-Digitals” in HOP gallery.

Sofia Hallik (1991) is a jewellery artist and PhD student at the Estonian Academy of Arts (since 2015). In her doctoral thesis “Theomorphic Jewellery Essence by Means of Virtuality and Autonomy” (supervisors prof. Kadri Mälk and Dr. Jaak Tomberg) Sofia focuses on a search of divine form through innovative materials and technologies. What interests her the most is the way суberspace and digital technology influence jewellery.

Sofia’s solo exhibition “Born-Digitals” deals with the influence of cyberspace and the use of digital technology in the manipulation of work of art. There is a dematerialization and virtualization of an artwork in general happening in the aftermath of the Digital Revolution, which affects among other things, an art form that is highly physical form of art, namely jewellery. The aim of Sofia’s work is represented in the shameless and conscious adaptation of the conflicting concepts of handwork and machine work. Exactly at the junction of these two concepts there arises something truly attractive that is actually a taste of our reality.

In her new series of works, Sofia creates a dreamlike installation in both real and virtual rooms. Represented jewellery in particular serves as Sofia’s radical approach, allowing the artist to express the idea of Perfection of Virtual.

Sofia has graduated from Estonian Academy of Arts with a Master’s degree with cum laude in 2015. Sofia has had three solo exhibitions, the last one took place at HOP gallery in summer 2015; In 2015 Sofia was awarded the Foundation Noor Ehe / Young Estonian Jewellery grant. Her work has been exhibited at international exhibitions, the latter and the most important are “European Prize for Applied Arts 2015” in Belgium, Mons; “Marzee International Graduate Show 2015” in the Netherlands; “ESTONISHING!” exhibition at Thomas Cohn gallery as a part of Munich Jewellery Week 2016 and in Brazil, São Paulo.

We would like to thank: Kadri Mälk, Jaak Tomberg, Maria Valdma, Raiko Suits, Viktorija Domarkaite, Andres Hallik, Margarita Teeääre, EAA Jewellery and Blacksmithing department.

The exhibition was made possible with the support of the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
