Open lecture_jewellery artist Jiro Kamata
Jewellery and Blacksmithing
Jiro Kamata, 1978, born in Hirosaki, Japan.
Artist that lives and works in Munich, studied at The Academy of Fine Arts Munich, with Prof.Otto Künzli and has works at the following collections: Hiko-Mizuno Collection, Tokyo. Marzee Collection, Nijmegen. Alice and Louis Koch Ring Collection, Basel. Helen Drutt Collection, Philadelphia.
The work of Jiro Kamata is fascinating because of it’s perfect surface, highlevel goldsmithing and also because of it’s affinity to fashion. It is young and powerful and in the same moment very delicate and poetic. Jiro Kamata likes to play with traditional moments and transform them into our contemporary view on things. / Klimt02.net /
Jiro Kamata was inivited to give masterclass “Mirror, mirror on the wall…” for jewellery students on November 12-16, 2018.

Exhibition Fibrous is opening on November 6 at Old EKA Gallery
Installation and Sculpture
Fibrous, the 1st exhibition held in the international Skulpakuu event. From November 6th until the 14th, seven international sculpture and installation artists will take over the Old EKA Gallery. The exhibition will explore the topics of power and authority. There will also be a curator tour on 08.11 and a panel-discussion about the current notion of sculpture in contemporary thought on 13.11.
You resonate with this. To take over this basement room, seven artists come together in a symbiotic relationship. Though being aware of the rules in the cooperation, they seek to grow laterally.
Fibrous, an exhibition about power, control, choice, force… themes that are suggested in the individual artworks, as well as where the works meet each other in space. The artists seek to expose the connecting fibres, the strategies of taking over and persisting within a defined room. This might show an internal struggle occuring as they give and take to find balance.
The form is fragile, it dissolves, when you touch it, it is not the same as before. It is mutable. I look around and it permeates all. It throbs in our veins, and with it, we are able to change anything.
The exhibition is curated by Laura De Jaeger with artistic director Stacey Koosel. Itwill open on November 6th at 18.00, featuring works by Barbara Kocsis, Ben Caro, Darja Krasnopevtseva, Johannes Luik, Laura De Jaeger, LAURi and Martina Buck.
Fibrousis a part of Skulpakuu, theinternational sculpture- and installation month, andis made possible by the Estonian Academy of Arts, EKA Student Union, Õllenaut, Kalamaja pruulikoda, Peninuki craftery, with Marko Mrkobrad and Arne Nuyts for the graphic design.

Exhibition “Tangibility Matters” Sofia Hallik
Academic Affairs Office
Exhibition dates:
15.11.2018 12-18
16.11.2018 12-20
Sofia Hallik’s “Tangibility Matters” exhibition finissage takes place on Friday, November 16th, in the ARS Project Room at 18.00.
Peer-review event takes place in Nov 16th, at 14.00 in ARS Project Room (Pärnu mnt 154, Tallinn)
Supervisors: prof Kadri Mälk and dr Jaak Tomberg
Peer – reviewers: dr Kärt Ojavee and dr Raivo Kelomees
Works on display are made as a part of a PhD thesis, and consist of wearable objects that are a hybrid of hand work and digital production. While working on a jewellery, the author is in need of touch and tactility, while an object that is made using 3D printing appears as an empty form, which demands substance. In the world of tech, because the process of work using CAD or 3D printing excludes tangibility, the author is lacking physical contact with a work of art. That is exactly why in these series of works the artist razes in a way the digital tarnish from the surface of the printed object by implementing hand work and traditional jewellery techniques. In this way a 3D printed object gains emotional expressiveness.
The works presented during the exhibition originate from two contradictory principles: digital production and hand work, and embody the mutual closeness of human and the machine. In other words, while people approach the digital world, technology becomes more and more humane.
Sofia Hallik (1991) is a jewellery artist, designer and PhD student at the Estonian Academy of Arts. In her doctoral thesis “Hand vs. Machine: Three Methods of Jewellery Making” (supervisors prof. Kadri Mälk and Dr. Jaak Tomberg) Sofia focuses on innovative materials and digital technologies. What interests her the most is the way digital technology influences jewellery.
Special thanks to: Kadri Mälk, Jaak Tomberg, Oskar Narusberk, EAA Jewellery and Blacksmithing department, 3D Koda OÜ.
The exhibition was made possible with the support of the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.

Open Lecture on Architecture: Wolfgang Tschapeller
Architecture and Urban Design
From Carpenter to Architect: Open Lecture by Wolfgang Tschapeller
The next lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this autumn will be Austrian architect and head of the Institute of Art and Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna – Wolfgang Tschapeller. Tschapeller will be stepping on the stage of the main auditorium of the new EKA building on the 1st of November at 6 pm to talk about Architecture with a capital A.
Wolfgang Tschapeller was initially trained as a carpenter and studied architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Tschapeller has taught as a visiting professor at Cornell University, the University of Art and Design in Linz, Austria, and the State University of New York in Buffalo, as well as other academic institutions.
Johan Tali, one of the curators of the Architecture Open Lecture series, points out that Wolfgang Tschapeller is considered today one of the most important contemporary Austrian architects. “The longtime dean of the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna Institute of Art and Architecture, Tschapeller is a proponent of progressive spatial education and an uncompromising practitioner. He employs contemporary design and new technologies and materials in his work to create new and exciting spatial experiences, and to – if only for a moment – sway the persistent gravitational force and the comfort zone of human perception. His background in woodworking gives him a unique advantage: the detailed and painstaking process of designing and constructing structures out of minute parts leads to an original architectural whole nearly without exception.”
More about Wolfgang Tschapeller: www.tschapeller.com
Known for his unusual building proposals, Tschapeller’s large-scale projects include the BVA 1, 2, and 3 series for the Vienna headquarters of the Austrian Insurance Fund for Public Employees; the design for the construction of a hotel in the Schwarzenberg Palace Garden in Vienna; the European Cultural Centre between the Palatine Chapel and the city hall in Aachen, Germany; the project for the Centre for Promotion of Science in Belgrade and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. The administrative building of the municipal authority in Murau, Austria (2002) and the St. Joseph House (2007) embody some of his quintessential ideas.
The architecture and urban design department of the Estonian Academy of Arts has been curating the Open Lectures on Architecture series since 2012 – each year, a dozen architects, urbanists, both practicing as well as academics, introduce their work and field of research to the audience in Tallinn. All lectures are in English, free and open to all interested.
The series is funded by the Estonian Cultural Endowment.
