Open lecture by Paul Jackson: Folding as a Language of Art and Design

Paul will show how the folding of sheet materials such as fabric, plastic and wood has become one of the most vibrant languages of contemporary art and design around the world and how folding connects design to the wider-worlds of engineering, new materials and sustainability. Wow!

Paul Jackson was the first person outside Japan to make a career from folding paper. In a 35-year career, he has written almost 40 books, taught in more than 80 Schools of Design and undertaken many commissions and consultancies. Fine Art trained in England, his folded paper sculptures are regularly exhibited.

Nadia Hebson artist talk

Nadia Hebson (1974, Romsey, Hampshire) makes paintings, both figurative and abstract, objects, texts and large scale prints which are intimately but indirectly linked to the conventions and histories of painting. Working obliquely with the legacy of women artists, her work has sought to comprehend the relationship between painting, biography, persona and clothing, most notably through a consideration of the work of artists Winifred Knights and Christina Ramberg.

Architecture Open Lecture Series: Boštjan Vuga – Reuse: Ruins: Construction sites

The next lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this spring semester is Boštjan Vuga, stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi SAAL (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on 22nd of March at 6 pm to talk about possible future of construction sites that have turned into urban ruins due to economic or political crises.

SADAR+VUGA‘s largest project – Sports Park Stožice in Ljubljana, a hybrid of sports, leisure and commercial programs – was only partially completed due to the recent economic crisis. SADAR+VUGA were involved in an international student workshop searching for possible futures of the large decaying construction site that would be more appropriate for the specific post-capitalist society.

Similarly, the massive structure of the Home of Revolution (architect Marko Mušič) was never finished. It has been sitting in the urban tissue of Nikšić, Montenegro for nearly three decades after the project was abandoned in the 1980s. After winning an international competition for its adaptation and renovation, SADAR+VUGA, HHF Architects and Dijana Vučinić initiated realization of the project’s gradual transition from an urban ruin into a covered public space that generates cultural, social and economic changes in a postindustrial Montenegrin town.

Boštjan Vuga graduated at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana in 1992 and completed the postgraduate masters course at the AA School of Architecture in London from 1993-1995. Together with Jurij Sadar, they founded the SADAR+VUGA (S+V) office in Ljubljana in 1996, which in two decades took place as one of the critical European architectural practices with production and communication based on an open, integral and innovative concept. Their most acclaimed works include Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (1996), Central part of the National Gallery, Ljubljana (1996) Stadium and Multipurpose hall Stožice (2010) and Air Traffic Control Centre Ljubljana (2013). The office has received many national and global architectural awards (Bauwelt Prize, Iconic Award, Archmaraton Award, Piranesi award, Plečnik Prize) and eight Mies van der Rohe Award nominations. Additionally the teach and critic internationally acknowledged universities and Vuga was a co-curator at the Montenegro Pavilion, “Treasures in Disguise” at the14th Venice Biennale of Architecture “Fundamentals”, Venice 2014.

The Open Lecture Series brings to Tallinn a number of exciting architects, urban planners, academics from across the world. All Open Lectures are free of charge, in English, take place every fortnight, and are open to everyone – for both students and professionals of the field, general audience and students considering architecture for their further studies.

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, drawing an audience of students as well as professionals and academics from the fields of architecture, design, engineering but also fine arts. The series is funded by the Estonian Cultural Endowment.

Curators: Sille Pihlak, Siim Tuksam

Open Lecture Series: ANASTASIA PISTOFIDOU on March 8th

OPEN LECTURE SERIES: Anastasia Pistofidou – combining the analog and the digital towards applied research focused on new materials, art and textiles

The second lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this spring semester will be Anastasia Pistofidou, stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi SAAL (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on 8th of March at 6 pm. Her lecture is titled “Towards a new discipline of Digital Fabrication, Textiles and Biology”.

Anastasia Pistofidou is a Greek architect specialized in digital fabrication technologies, design and education. She has a Master degree from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia 2010-2011 in Digital tectonics and a Bachelor Degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, department of architecture in 2008. She currently works as the director of the FabTextiles research lab and the Fabricademy, a new textile and technology academy. She combines the analog and the digital towards applied research focused on new materials, art and textiles.

Technological advances, new materials and computational design are changing the way we design and manufacture products, consume and interact. At fabtextiles and materials lab at Fab Lab Barcelona Pistofidou is developing and implementing a new approach on to how create, produce and distribute fashion elements, by using distributed manufacturing infrastructures and knowledge networks. She experiments with scanning the human body, creating interactive wearable garments, working with biomaterials and circular processes, using 3D printing and parametric 3D modeling. Inside this context her practices prescribe the role and profile of future designers. What are the new skills, materials and processes for the future generations?

Breanne Trammell is a multi-disciplinary artist with a background in printmaking. Breanne will discuss her project-based creative practice, research interests, and her relationship to printmaking. Her studio practice explores objects and icons from popular culture, the confluence
of high brow and low brow, and mines from her personal history. In 2016 she initiated a publishing imprint called Teachers Lounge, which operates as a forum to explore subversive topics and reveal hidden histories related to education, activism, politics, sports, and visual culture.

 


Breanne Trammell (b. 1980 Vallejo, CA) lives and works in Cincinnati, Ohio. She received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and has been an artist-in-residence at Ox-Bow (MI), the Women’s Studio Workshop (NY), the Wassaic Project (NY), Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts (NE), Kala Institute (CA), and Endless Editions (NY). Trammell is an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Cincinnati and previously taught at the University of Iowa, Kent State University, and Anderson Ranch Art Center. She will teach workshops at Ox-Bow School of Art, Anderson Ranch Art Center, and the Women’s Studio Workshop in Summer 2018, respectively.
