Open Fri-Sun from 12:00 to 20:00
Opening at 18:00 on 17th of May
Animation and New Media students have listened, recorded, cut, transformed, visualized and installed sounds in Studio 53 and 98 in ARS Art Factory, officially opening the exhibition to the public at 18:00 on 17th of May. Works from 24 artists range from immersive audiovisual installations to delicate listening experiences, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of sources, including wildlife, mycelium growth, football stadium crowds, refracted glass, environmental shifts, squeaky toys, and technological intricacies.
The works are presented in a joint exhibition made of two parts: the Animation MA’s alcove of abstracted visions “Plato’s Tent” (Studio 53), showing works that combine animation and sound, and the installations working with sites and “Not Here and Not Quite There” (Studio 98), featuring installations that explore sites and sounds from the New Media Sound Art
studies module. The exhibition will be open for only three days, with extended viewing hours.
The exhibition stems from two parallel courses focused on sound studies at EKA: ‘Sound Design’ at the Animation Department supervised by Bruno Quast and ‘Sound Art & Spatial Sound Experiments’ supervised by Sten Saarits, which is part of the Sound Art Connected Studies programme at New Media Arts.
Artists: Ako Allik, Julia Virkki, Melina Unterhauser, Meret Stockhecker, Nils Geffre, Ott Kattel, Yiyang Sun, Chia-Hui Lei, Christopher Stephen Galinos, Leo Mourey, Lukas Wind, Melissa Noack, Shunyuan Yao, Valerie Sarle, Vilmos Peter, Lyza Karoly Jarvis Graphic design: Christopher Stephen Galinos

Open Lecture: Nadir Tati
Fashion Design
In connection with African business forum in Estonia renowned Angolan fashion designer Nadir Tati will give a public lecture in EKA on Wednesday May 22 in room A501 at 17:00
Nadir Tati is a leading figure in contemporary African fashion. As a champion of African customs and traditions she delves into the depths of African heritage, blending the past with the present and the future, exploring its vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and lush texture, revealing the essence of the continent.
Her work is characterized by a contemporary approach to traditional artisanal techniques with modern and innovative designs, reinventing Africa’s iconic patterns, such as wax print and kente. Vital to her work is the use of materials and production practices that respect the environment and local communities.
Nadir has been awarded the Best Designer in Angola in 2010, 2011, and 2012. She has also received various other honours for contribution to national culture and for excellence in business and industry, as well as awards for representing Angola on the world’s runways.

In connection with African business forum in Estonia renowned Angolan fashion designer Nadir Tati will give a public lecture in EKA on Wednesday May 22 in room A501 at 17:00
Nadir Tati is a leading figure in contemporary African fashion. As a champion of African customs and traditions she delves into the depths of African heritage, blending the past with the present and the future, exploring its vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and lush texture, revealing the essence of the continent.
Her work is characterized by a contemporary approach to traditional artisanal techniques with modern and innovative designs, reinventing Africa’s iconic patterns, such as wax print and kente. Vital to her work is the use of materials and production practices that respect the environment and local communities.
Nadir has been awarded the Best Designer in Angola in 2010, 2011, and 2012. She has also received various other honours for contribution to national culture and for excellence in business and industry, as well as awards for representing Angola on the world’s runways.

EXPERTS

Juliane Foronda (she/her) is a Filipina-Canadian artist, writer, and researcher. Predominantly through object, intervention and text, her practice is invested in radical care, feminist hospitality, and traditions of gathering. She’s influenced by (found and fabricated) structures, built environments, and hidden labour, and her work negotiates how these notions play with the tension between reality and possibility, truth and imagination, and knowing and not knowing. A significant aspect of her arts practice involves archival and collections research. Her investment in this work unfolds with her affinity of learning about what people choose to keep close and why, as well as how communities are built, maintained, and preserved. She earned her MA in Fine Arts from Listaháskóli Íslands/Iceland University of the Arts, and her BA in Studio Art from the University of Guelph. She is a current resident at the Helsinki International Artist Programme (FI).

Jussi Koitela is an independent curator and Head of Programme at Frame Contemporary Art Finland and will move to a new position as a Director of M-cult in June 2024. His curatorial work intertwines art, embodied research methods, urban spatial contexts, collaboration, hospitality, and materiality in various forms of exhibitions and knowledge production.
He is currently curator of the Pavilion of Finland at the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia together with Yvonne Billmore (20 April -24 November 2024). Between 2019 to 2023 they also curated ‘Rehearsing Hospitalities’, Frame’s public programme. He is also curating “Measures” Survival Kit 2024 exhibition organised by Latvian Center of Contemporary Art, opening September 2024 in Riga.
His selected curatorial work includes: Conflicting Relations at Vera List Center for Art and Politics, New York, Editorial Tables: Reciprocal Hospitalities at The Showroom, London, Secured – Politics of Bodies and Space at Vantaa Art Museum Artsi. Performing the Fringe at Konsthall C, Stockholm and Pori Art Museum, Pori Entangling Matter and Meaning/Intra-Structures – Monster of the Seven Lakes at Treignac Projet, Mattering City at SixtyEight Art Institute, Copenhagen, City Agents at Estonian Museum of Contemporary Art (EKKM), Tallinn, Skills of Economy Sessions at Finnish Theatre Academy, Baltic Circle Festival and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, and Untitled (two takes on crises) – You Must Make Your Death Public at de Appel Art Centre, Amsterdam.
He has edited, among others, Rehearsing Hospitalities Companions 1-4 published by Archive Books, 2019 – 2022 with Yvonne Billimore, the Finnish Art Policy Handbook published by Checkpoint Helsinki/Publics and Baltic Circle Festival 2015, Falling In — Movement and Becoming in Curatorial Research with Dahila El Broul and Ksenia Kaverina, published by Mousse Publishing, 2024 and The pleasures we choose with Yvonne Billimore, published by k.verlag, 2024.

Mailis Timmi is a curatorial MA student at Estonian Academy of Arts and the founder and director of Tütar Gallery. Prior to her immersion in the art world, Mailis spent 17 years in strategic communications and advertising, where she gained experience in supporting younger generation artists in their quest to be seen and recognised.

Florian & Michael Quistrebert are an artist duo whose recent work explores the paradoxes between the sacred and the material through immersive exhibitions that combine paintings and videos. Both artists graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Nantes and have collaborated since 2007. The duo focuses on the power and fascination of light, often creating immersive experiences that provoke extra-optical and synesthetic perceptions among viewers.
Florian & Michael Quistrebert’s works are included in numerous public and private collections. Their notable exhibitions include “Visions of Void” at Dundee Contemporary Arts in 2015, “The Light of the Light” at Palais de Tokyo in 2016, “ZigZag” at CCCOD in Tours in 2019, and “Silent Symphony” at Dirimart in Istanbul. The artists often design their exhibition spaces to resemble a luminous opera, featuring dynamic elements such as blazing torments, lightning rays, serene shimmers, and crescendos of illumination.

The exhibition opening will be on Wednesday, May 15th, at 17:00.
While noise may initially repel us, we invite you to get a little closer instead. We encourage you to create a kind of bond with all kinds of noise, to at least try to get to know it – perhaps there’s a detail that surprises you or quite the opposite. We invite you directly into the heart of noise, into its spell…

That old village, the sun in August, a European desert. A flock of birds moving South. Nobody’s around, except the warm noise of bugs, sunshine, and water, pool water, pool water really far away.
Splashes, wetting the sandstone. The warm limestone of the house, the coldness of the granite kitchen countertop. Splashes of memories come from time to time. I guess it’s part of running away, or just running. Poor Doe is still afraid.
The train was still at high speed when it suddenly stopped. You can go by train from Beijing to Madrid. Doe was just going back home. Europe is a good place to be a nomad, like the Tartars that helped Beuys in Crimea. Doe wished to be buried, like Beuys, at least for a few days.
Doe looked through the window. It was dark outside, train rails, the horizon really far, and the first green traces in the wheat fields. Doe thought about the suburbs, the small window in the bedroom, blocks as far as the eye can see. Why did the train stop? Doe woke up from the seat, and the train was empty. Almost, not really, but Doe remembers the train being empty. The doors opened when Doe started to walk. A cold breeze entered the train. Some pages of the book Doe left behind on the seat started to move. Doe remembers it was a green-covered book. Doe couldn’t give me more details.

Kaarel Kurismaa. Beyond the Limits of Timelessness
Documentary
59 min
Estonia 2024
A documentary about the Estonian artist Kaarel Kurismaa shows the viewer an insight into the world of artists.
Kaarel Kurismaa laid the foundations for Estonian kinetic and sound art. He is a highly versatile artist whose creative energy is divided between painting, sound, installation, monumental art, and film. Kaarel has changed his creative direction several times; he has explored different artistic styles.
On the crest of the avant-garde wave of the 1970s, he created several important sound and kinetic objects in Estonian art history. From the mid-1970s, Kurismaa worked as an artist, director, and cinematographer at Eesti Joonisfilm and Nukufilm. In the 1980s, Kurismaa became more interested in making space and monumental art. He created a number of remarkable public space objects that synthesised the key elements of his work – sound and movement. Only one of these objects has survived to this day – the Tallinn tram.
The 1990s marked another turning point in Kurismaa’s work. Sound objects inspired by pop art aesthetics were replaced by contemporary site-specific space and sound installations.
The film features friends and colleagues of Kaarel Kurismaa: Tiit Pääsuke, Tamara Luuk, Olga Temnikova, Ragne Soosalu, Sirje Helme, Andres Kurg and Kiwa, who share their experiences and talk about their collaboration with the artist. We can see unique archival footage and private archive photographs, get a glimpse of the work of various artists, and follow the process of creating art.
Director: Aljona Suržikova
Producer: Sergei Trofimov

Charlotte Gisele Chapuis and Clio Pavlidis Andersson in Lainurga Gallery
Faculty of Fine Arts
On Tuesday 7.05 at 19:00, the exhibition “Ruhig Dimma” by Charlotte Gisele Chapuis and Clio Pavlidis Andersson will open in Lainurga Gallery.
Location: on the 4th floor in front of the photography department, B-405
Start of the exhibition: 07.05 19:00
End of the exhibition: 21.05
Two artists from two different countries exhibit works from their personal archives, resulting in a blend of intimate portraits and still landscapes. They might have different backgrounds, but their two narratives meet in a longing for home and an appreciation for the connections created around them. “Ruhig Dimma” exhibits intimacy and symbolism, by using close to heart-photographies and found objects complementing the pictures.
Clio Pavlidis Andersson (b. 1998) is currently on exchange at Estonian Academy of Arts and is studying her second year at the BFA programme in photography, at HDK-Valand. Her practice often features family and close friends as central figures, allowing her to delve into the soreness and fragility that inevitably comes with long and deep relationships.
Charlotte Giséle Chapuis (b. 1998) is studying her fourth year at the BFA programme in photography at Folkwang University of Arts and is also currently on exchange at Estonian Academy of Arts. Rooted in closeness and vulnerability, she’s working a lot with her own archive material, trying to find and show patterns that tell an intimate story.
