Open Lecture: ENRIQUE SOBEJANO on 20th September
Architecture and Urban Design
Enrique Sobejano, architect of Arvo Pärt Centre’s soon to be opened new building, to give a public lecture in Tallinn
Opening the architecture Open Lectures season on the 20th of September at 6 pm will be Enrique Sobejano. Sobejano is the founder and partner of Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, that won the architecture competition of the new building of Arvo Pärt Centre to be opened in October.
The Spanish architecture bureau received the prestigious Alvar Aalto Medal and became an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects in 2015. The Madinat al-Zahra Museum by Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos in Spain received the European Museum of the Year award in 2012 and the Contemporary Art Centre Córdoba was shortlisted for this year’s Mies van der Rohe Award. Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos can be characterised by a subtle sense of material and detail and a skilful use of natural light. Equally important is the context and the experiential quality of each project. In his lecture, Enrique Sobejano will introduce the new building of Arvo Pärt Centre, to be opened in October 2018. He will describe what the intentions of the architects were and what kind of space they wanted to create.
From Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos website: “The Arvo Pärt Centre has been designed as a place for concentration and study, a space conceived in order to keep the creative legacy of the great Estonian composer alive. Set in a landscape of great beauty, in the middle of a dense forest of tall pines, the design originates from a geometric pattern formed by pentagonal patios. Variations of the size and position of the same generate spatial sequences that configure the different areas of the plan. The interior space is structured around a wall—a boundary within whose thickness are housed much of the facilities, in addition to serving as a dividing element between the public and private areas of the building. In the exterior, a single element highlights the architectural proposal: a large roof conceived as a folded platform to adapt to the different heights required in the interior. The facades are treated as a filter defined by a series of thin circular columns that make up the supporting structure of the roof. The greater or lesser density in the arrangement of the pillars allows for alternate areas of great transparency with others more protected from the natural light. A slender helical observation tower and a small chapel inserted in one of the patios, complete a project in which music, landscape and architecture come into resonance.”
Enrique Sobejano (Madrid, Spain, 1957) has graduated from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and the Graduate School of Architecture and Planning at Columbia University in New York. He is professor at the Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK) and has been a visiting critic and lecturer at various international universities worldwide. From 1986 to 1991 he was co-director of the architectural journal ARQUITECTURA. He is a founding partner of Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos. The bureau has offices in Madrid and Berlin.
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

Open Lecture by Dr. Malcolm Barnard: “Fashion, Messages and Communication”
Accessory Design
Thursday 20th September 2018 at 17:30, room A501
In his lecture Dr. Barnard will be outlining the main features of the sender/receiver model of communication as it applies to fashion, explaining what is wrong with it and arguing that messages are not sent or received but rather that meanings are constructed. He will suggest that the existence of this model may be accounted for by examining a mixture of capitalism and romanticism and he will explain how and why the sender/receiver model does not work by taking some famous people as examples.
Malcolm Barnard
Malcolm Barnard is Senior Lecturer in Visual Culture at Loughborough University (UK), where he teaches the history and theory of art and design. He has a BA(Hons) in Philosophy and Sociology from the University of York and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Warwick. He is the author of Fashion as Communication (Routledge 2002), Art, Design and Visual Culture (Macmillan 1998), Approaches to Understanding Visual Culture (Palgrave 2001), Graphic Design as Communication (Routledge 2005) and Fashion Theory: An Introduction (Routledge 2014). He is also the editor of Fashion Theory: A Reader (Routledge 2007) and of the four volume Fashion, (Routledge, Critical Concepts Series, 2012). Recent publications include an essay on fashion and the Kantian sublime and essays on Derrida and photography theory and on the semiology of advertising are forthcoming.
The lecture is organized by Department of Textile Design in cooperation with Department of Accessory and Bookbinding Design.

Textile Design
Price 0€. Please pre-register! You can pre-register HERE
Design Research as a growing field contributes new ways of living to the world.

We look into examples where research knowledge escapes the university walls and weaves itself as part of the local eco system. Such examples are expected to inspire further collaboration between universities and the local industry to bring innovations that leave fruitful impact on not only the local but also the global communities.

In co-operation with KulturKontakt Austria, the Austrian Federal Chancellery makes available 50 residencies in Austria (Vienna and Salzburg) for the year 2019. Foreign artists can apply for this grant programme electronically via the www.artists-in- residence-austria.at platform.
The residency is designed to offer an opportunity to familiarise oneself with the Austrian art scene and cultural environment and to make contact with Austrian artists. Residents are expected to complete a project during their stay. In the field of cultural education, the stay is primarily designed to foster exchanges and networking and not the realisation of a project.
During their stay, the artists in residence will be made familiar with the art scene and cultural environment. Activities on offer include visits at galleries, studios and museums, contacts to the literature and publishing sector, as well as access to Vienna’s music life. Whenever possible, the residents will receive free tickets for art and book fairs, the international ImPuls Tanz dance festival and other events.
During their stay in Salzburg, the artists in residence will be taken care of by Kunstverein Salzburg. Residencies in Salzburg are only available for artists from the fields of the visual arts, artistic photography and media art.
There is the possibility of participating actively in the Artists-in-Residence-go-to- School-Programme of KulturKontakt Austria (the programme includes workshops at Austrian schools).
This call is open to foreign artists whose permanent place of residence is outside of Austria and who have completed their training. Austrian citizens cannot apply for this programme.
A high level of proficiency in English or German is required in order to enable participants to engage in a creative dialogue in an international context.
Participants are obliged to submit a final report about their stay.
The age limit for applicants is 40 years, i.e. the applicants’ date of birth has to be after December 31, 1978. If an application is submitted by a duo at least one of the artists has to be born after December 31, 1978, and the artistic career of both individuals must be presented.

Call for Applications for the Artist-in-Residence-Programme 2019
Application deadline: September 30, 2018
In co-operation with KulturKontakt Austria, the Austrian Federal Chancellery makes available 50 residencies in Austria (Vienna and Salzburg) for the year 2019. Foreign artists can apply for this grant programme electronically via the www.artists-in- residence-austria.at platform.
The residency is designed to offer an opportunity to familiarise oneself with the Austrian art scene and cultural environment and to make contact with Austrian artists. Residents are expected to complete a project during their stay. In the field of cultural education, the stay is primarily designed to foster exchanges and networking and not the realisation of a project.
During their stay, the artists in residence will be made familiar with the art scene and cultural environment. Activities on offer include visits at galleries, studios and museums, contacts to the literature and publishing sector, as well as access to Vienna’s music life. Whenever possible, the residents will receive free tickets for art and book fairs, the international ImPuls Tanz dance festival and other events.
During their stay in Salzburg, the artists in residence will be taken care of by Kunstverein Salzburg. Residencies in Salzburg are only available for artists from the fields of the visual arts, artistic photography and media art.
There is the possibility of participating actively in the Artists-in-Residence-go-to- School-Programme of KulturKontakt Austria (the programme includes workshops at Austrian schools).
This call is open to foreign artists whose permanent place of residence is outside of Austria and who have completed their training. Austrian citizens cannot apply for this programme.
A high level of proficiency in English or German is required in order to enable participants to engage in a creative dialogue in an international context.
Participants are obliged to submit a final report about their stay.
The age limit for applicants is 40 years, i.e. the applicants’ date of birth has to be after December 31, 1978. If an application is submitted by a duo at least one of the artists has to be born after December 31, 1978, and the artistic career of both individuals must be presented.
