“Dancing with the Stars!” EKA Billboard Gallery 16.02.–17.05.2026
Graphic Design
DANCING WITH THE STARS!
EKA Billboard Gallery 16.02.–17.05.2026
Open 24/7, free admission
The exhibition “Dancing with the Stars!” by the 1st year students of graphic design showcases the designed letters and the process of the class Typography I. During 14 weeks, several exercises and experimentations were carried out, drawing was done both by hand and on the computer, using things like stencils, feathers, rocks, nail polish or even keys.
While the first seven weeks were dedicated to experimentation and playing, the last seven focused on creating an entire alphabet and going through the whole letter design process. Vectorised letters were created which in turn were made into working font files during a week-long workshop.
Students: Johannes Adrik, Art Allik, Helen Forsel, Mia Klooren, Art Kruus, Adele Markova, Ischa Mestdagh, Jaako Lauri Puudist, Ann Aotäht Sarv, Mia Greta Sepp,Ariana Sigin, Linnea Süvari, Jakob Tüür, Karol Henrik Vana, Rei Helin Varres
Supervisor: Agnes Isabelle Veevo
Supervisor of the workshop: Patrick Zavadskis
The fonts can be downloaded for free from the SUVA Type Foundry website: suvatypefoundry.ee

Slideshow #6: Grey Area
Dexter Sinister
Wednesday, 15 October 2025, 17:30h
A-101
You find yourself somewhere in-between: a grey area on the mezzanine floor of a large public arts centre. The building was originally a sugar refinery, built in 1838. It evolved into low-cost housing occupied by factory workers and soldiers, artists and writers, and became a cultural hub. After falling into disrepair, the city of Ljubljana bought the property and restored it to its previous form, reopening as Cukrarna in 2021.
This intermediate space has lower ceilings than the white-cube gallery floors that sandwich it above and below. It wasn’t designed to be an exhibition space, but rather a place for events, conversations, gatherings, and other temporary activities. For the next year, it will be decorated and programmed by Dexter Sinister, the composite working name of David Reinfurt and Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey.
Look around: the room is lined with wall-to-wall medium-grey carpet and the walls are painted to match; windows are masked to modulate the sun and filter an even, grey light. It’s mostly empty except for a few bean bags and a couple of tables, all in matching grey as well. In this space, Dexter Sinister will present one video each month by a designer, artist, or group whose work exists somewhere in the middle of art and design, including a few of our own works.
As you enter on the left are a series of white rectangles, each painted according to a standard video aspect ratio. Projected into one of these, depending on when you are reading this, is a video.
About Dexter Sinister
Dexter Sinister is the compound working name of David Reinfurt and Stuart Bailey. In 2000 David formed the design studio O-R-G and Stuart co-founded the arts journal Dot Dot Dot. In 2006 they jointly established Dexter Sinister as a ‘just-in-time workshop and occasional bookstore’ on New York City’s Lower East Side. Together with Angie Keefer in 2011 they founded the publishing/archiving platform The Serving Library (www.servinglibrary.
About Slideshow
Slideshow is a lecture-to-book series inviting practicing graphic designers to talk about the research, references and working processes behind the making of their applied work. The series opens up the discussion and makes visible how graphic design practices engage in a research process. The series asks designers to unpack their work through reflecting on the material they engage with, informal encounters they might have, or processes they’ve experimented with. The series is organized and edited by Alexandra Margetic and Sean Yendrys, and published through the MA in Graphic Design at the Estonian Academy of Arts.

A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design
David Reinfurt
Tuesday, 14 October 2025, 17:30h
A-501
From ancient Rome to outer space, A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design features contributions by Danielle Aubert, Tauba Auerbach, Barbara Glauber, Shannon Harvey, Adam Michaels, Philip Ording, Adam Pendleton, and others. This collective text expands David Reinfurt’s pragmatic and experimental pedagogy: weaving together multiple voices in a polyphonic approach to design history and teaching.
This book extends Reinfurt’s highly acclaimed A *New* Program for Graphic Design to include material from three new Princeton University courses. Designed for online teaching, these courses model a *co-*operative approach, taking on subjects from the Detroit Printing Co-op, Corita Kent, and Ray and Charles Eames to Enzo Mari, Marshall McLuhan, and Virgil Abloh.
A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design is published by Inventory Press, distributed by Distributed Art Publishers, and generously funded by the Barr Ferree Foundation Fund for Publications, Department of Art and Archaeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts, Princeton University.
About David Reinfurt
David Reinfurt is 1/2 of Dexter Sinister, 1/4 of The Serving Library, and 1/1 of O-R-G inc. Dexter Sinister began as a workshop on Manhattan’s Lower East Side and branched into projects with and for contemporary art institutions. The Serving Library publishes a journal, maintains an artwork collection, and circulates PDFs online. O-R-G is a small software company. Reinfurt was a 2010 USA Rockefeller Fellow and 2017 Rome Prize Fellow in Design. He is Professor of the Practice in Visual Arts at Princeton University.

Tallinn Print Triennial’s youth exhibition “Print Muscle” EKA Gallery 5.–27.07.2025
Faculty of Fine Arts
Tallinn Print Triennial’s youth exhibition “Print Muscle”
EKA Gallery 5.–27.07.2025
Open Tue–Sat 12–6 pm Sun 12–4 pm
Opening: Friday, July 4 at 6 pm
Curatorial tour: Thursday, July 10 at 6 pm (in Estonian)
NB! The exhibition can only be accessed through EKA Gallery’s Kotzebue Street door. On July 9 and 10, between 12 and 3.30 pm, there may be power outages due to the maintenance of electrical systems, which may interfere with experiencing the exhibition. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience!
“Print Muscle” is the 2025 youth exhibition of the Tallinn Print Triennial, highlighting the role of trace-based visual practices through the work of young artists.
The exhibition introduces viewers to “methods of leaving a trace” through works in which artists imprint their presence in the current moment through gestures borrowed from printmaking – though not necessarily confined to its traditional techniques. In an age where digital repetition has become commonplace, manual repetition still holds lasting significance. Whether the repetition functions according to object-based, bodily, ritualistic, or traditional principles, it often becomes a form of playing at being – a training of the print muscle.
While disciplinary boundaries in contemporary art have long since become arbitrary, print-based thinking often stands out through persistent, process-oriented engagement – ritualistic repetition, close observation, and the materialization of time. Through such practices, artists trace their daily rituals, reflect on autobiographical elements, or give tangible form to our time. Though printmaking techniques are sometimes considered delicate – perhaps even feminized – this exhibition emphasizes the physicality and force inherent in printmakers’ way of thinking. The exhibition brings together artists from Estonia, Lithuania and Ukraine.
An additional focus of the exhibition is the increasing popularity of artist books, zines, and self-publishing. While bookmaking has traditionally been part of both printmaking and graphic design curricula, recent years have seen a notable rise in its cultural and artistic relevance. To reflect this, we’ve invited Agnes Isabelle Veevo to curate a reading corner dedicated to artist books on the second floor of EKA Gallery. This curated space includes works by participating artists as well as other artists from fields like printmaking, graphic design, and beyond, offering visitors the opportunity to engage with these publications in a tactile and intended way, i.e. by physically holding and looking at them.
Curators: Anita Kodanik & Maria Izabella Lehtsaar
Participating artists: Mindaugas Aniūnas, Loora Kaubi, Elise Marie Olesk, Paul Rannik, Nils Joonatan Rammo, Gintaute Siniakovaitė, Aidas Stončius, Daria Titova
Book corner curator: Agnes Isabelle Veevo
Artists participating in the book corner: Rokas Bokus, Eline Cremers, Fatima-Ezzahra el Khammas, Laura Merendi, Helena Pass, Eleri Porroson, Julia Syrzistie, Ljubov Terukova, Laura Tursk, Mirjam Varik
Technical support: Erik Hõim
Graphic design: Daria Titova
Exhibition supported by: Cultural Endowment of Estonia, Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania, Sadolin Estonia and Tallinn City.

Para-educational Research Seminar
Faculty of Design
PARA-EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH SEMINAR BY PROF. DR. NORA STERNFELD
in collaboration with Grégoire Rousseau, Mira Samonig and Julia Stolba
How can educational and curatorial practices of knowledge production challenge what can be said, done and seen? In an international transdisciplinary research seminar, we think about educational research and exhibition studies within and beyond the exhibition, about case studies within and beyond the canon and about research within and beyond western methodologies.
Running from Monday, 2nd of June – Saturday, 7th of June 2025 at EKA, the seminar is an ongoing open context for researchers in educational research and exhibition studies. It follows strategies of knowledge production as exploration, investigation, imagination and reflection. Although registration at the seminar is now closed, feel free to drop by and listen in if you are interested.
Join us for the public radio broadcast about ‘para-educational research’ aired by Station of Commons!
Thursday, 5th of June 2025 from 5pm – in Tallinn at ETC (Niine 8a) or from anywhere via stationofcommons.com.

“I Got a Great Lick of It Before It All Melted” at ARS
Faculty of Design
The exhibition “I Got a Great Lick of It Before It All Melted” is an exhibition by students of Graphic Design and Product Design at the Estonian Academy of Arts, which reflects on choices and experiences.
Opening 24 April 6 PM
ARS Art Factory – Studio 53 ja 98
Entrance from the courtyard
We all have a certain number of experiences in life, on which we build the next one. It is like an archive. You can’t ever experience anything without the latter.. And then we end up with those choices that we unconsciously and finally consciously make every day again and again. We are faced with something that is self-evident, like putting one foot in front of the other when walking or inhaling and exhaling.. we don’t notice these actions, but yet we do them constantly. Our choices shape our experiences and, when combined, our dance through life.
Artists: Riko Smirnov, Richard Vainola, Gabriella Tarja, Laura Sööt, Katriin Saulus, Anna Elisabeth Remmelg, Kenneth Pert, Hanna Milk, Anett Elis Männil, Brit Maripuu, Paula Maria Mengel, Stella Maris Liiva, Kelli Kütt, Helen Kärt Käbin, Martin Kislõi, Mark Kokotov, Teele Kiisk, Grittel Kastan, Greg Mikael Juhanson, Daria Titova, Johannes Adrik, Aries Puusepp, Rebecca Lopez,
Graphic Design: Mark Kokotov
Dance like this is the first of its kind for the students and they have been guided to this by Kristel Saan.

Open 24/7, free
Opening: 3.02.25 at 5 pm
Dancing with the Stars! exhibition showcases the designed letters and the process of the class Typography I. During 14 weeks several exercises and experimentations were carried out, drawing was done both by hand and on the computer, using toilet paper, towels, foam and even a metal engraver.
While the first seven weeks were dedicated to experimentation and playing, the last seven focused on creating an entire alphabet and going through the letter design process. Vectorised letters were created, several of which were also made into working font files.
Students:
Simon Janson, Ryan Kaabel, Anni Kangur, Riste Sofie Käär, Jan-Markus Maasepp, Alina Maškina, Elisabeth Mägi, Berit Raun, Mattias Erik Tiik, Rasmus Tikerpe, Katariina Tõnismäe, Mark Albert Villand, Artjom Ševtšenko, Kätriin Reinart, Eline Cremers, Mira Keygnaert, Dennis Vugts
Supervisor:
Agnes Isabelle Veevo
