OPEN LECTURE: ENRIC RUIZ-GELI. It’s all about particles
Arhitektuur ja linnaplaneerimine
Opening the architecture Open Lectures season on the 5th of October at 6 pm will be Enric Ruiz-Geli, Spanish architect whose innovative practices in the field of building energy efficiency, climate change led changes to construction and understanding of a building on a molecular level have inspired the world for nearly a quarter of a century.
Ruiz-Geli was designing bio-architecture already ten years ago, and has – unlike most – had his designs also built: his office building in Barcelona has an inflatable smart facade to regulate sunlight and temperature reaching the interior of the building. At present, Ruiz-Geli is co-operating with Ferran Adria and El Bulli, one of the most innovative restaurants in the world, currently being transformed into a scientific research institute for food – the goal being that the building to house the research for the future of food should also represent the future of architecture.
Enric Ruiz-Geli and his interdisciplinary architectural team Cloud 9 in Barcelona works at the interface between architecture and art, digital processes and technological material development. The architect’s multifaceted projects include stage designs and buildings, installations and patents, and are realized together with collaborative partners. Committed to the use of new technological developments for digital fabrication and the performative character of architecture, which creates intelligent structures in emulation of nature, its green agenda is to look at Pilot Projects in Global Warming Scenarios.
Enric Ruiz-Geli / Cloud 9 has been awarded nationally and internationally for the Research and Innovation applied to the design at, above other multiple times, the Research and Development Award of the Southern California Institute of Architecture and the Catalonian Award of Environment for the Sustainable Architecture.
Their most important projects include the Villa Nurbs in Empuriabrava, an organically formed, ecological and futuristic house; the Millennium Project in Valladolid, with an urban retrofitting and using for the first time 10 urban wind turbines; elBulli Foundation for the chief Ferran Adrà as a living laboratory in Cap de Creus; and the Media – ICT building in Barcelona that has been awarded as Best Building of the World by WAF 2011; a Net Zero Building with a very competitive cost of construction.
About Enric Ruiz-Geli: http://www.ruiz-geli.com/
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 lecture is supported by the Spanish Embassy in Tallinn.
The series is funded by the Estonian Cultural Endowment

Marge Monko ‘Flawless, Seamless’ outdoor banner installation
Fotograafia
The large two-piece banner represents a photo of stocking advertisement produced in US in the 1930s found in the book Photography in the Modern Advertisement printed in 1937. The photograph depicts a woman’s hands demonstrating the transparency of the stocking. Transparency is one of the keywords of the installation – first, that of the stockings in the photograph, and second, the transparency of the mesh banner that allows the oversized hands to communicate with the architectural environment that forms its backdrop.
In recent years, Monko has been interested in the representation of femininity in advertising images and window displays. She has appropriated ads of tights, wrist watches and jewellery for her work.
Marge Monko is an artist and a professor of the Department of Photography at Estonian Academy of Arts. She is working with photography, video and installation. Since 2007, she has been exhibiting her work in Estonia and abroad.
Thank you: Neeme Külm, Jaana Jüris, Marje Eelma (Tuumik Studio)

Project “Brilliant Estonian item”
“Brilliant Estonian item” is a collaboration project between product-, textile- and leather design specialisations in the faculty of design at Estonian Academy of Arts. The project focuses on searching elements and narratives to characterize Estonia to combine those into widely recognisable and thoughtful small objects – Estonian items.
The aim of this project is to gather inspiration from local cultural surrounding and assemble it into product prototypes with (applied) art value – outcome will be products, accessories, small installations etc. Articles which by telling a story about our past, present and future, are suitable gift for ourselves and to our foreign guests.
Read more about the projects: https://www.facebook.com/projektHeaEestiAsi/
It is possible to learn more about the products on XII Tallinn Design Festival, 25.09.–01.10. in Noblessneri Valukoda (Tööstuse 48)
Official opening of the exhibition is on Thursday 28.09. at 17.00-18.00. You are welcome!

Artist Hana Miletić holds a public talk and a workshop at Estonian Academy of Arts
Photography
On the 20th of September, artist Hana Miletić will hold a public talk about her practice at Estonian Academy of Arts. The talk takes place on the 20.09 at 18 o’clock at Estonia pst 7, room 440a. The talk is open for everyone.
Miletić comes to Tallinn at the invitation of the photography department of Estonian Academy of Arts. She will hold a workshop with the photography students on artist book making, drawing on the work of Mladen Stilinović, amongst other. For the production of the printed matter, the students are invited to use and appropriate the immediate surroundings of the school.
Hana Miletić was born in Zagreb (1982), she lives and works in Brussels and Zagreb. In her work she explores the residues and upheavals of political changes, whereby she focuses on the formation of subjectivity, on the level of both the individual and the community. She describes her artistic practice as street photography via which she documents objects and narratives in a continuous investigation into DIY cultures. Photography serves as a means of orientation in her ongoing exploration of social realities. She has a multiform practice that includes, among others, sculptures, textiles, performances, workshops, printed matter and writing.

Gallery Mihhail new exhibition opening!
Faculty of Fine Arts
On Wednesday (20.09), 7PM, Mihhail gallery will open the exhibition “Sewage observation tower in baroque purple”. What is going to be seen is everyday poetry and exuberance through fragments, stains, removals and half-finished interior decoration. The works are connected by the living environment of Pirita, magical realism and everyday aesthetics, in-progress repairs, wiring from the walls and ceilings hanging out. Quality parquet where there should be a kitchen. This kind of contemporary art is a non-space, it is a homogeneous dimension of a person, and just like at home, art acquires architectural typologies.
What’s under the floor is another floor made of cashew. Later that day I was sitting in the garden drinking energy drinks, looking up stuff. This had been a dinner party, but I fucked it up. Another one. I really hoped for this home to stay gleaming, but now it has stains on it. I see traces of living, some parts of me are sad, buyer’s remorse, I guess. My home is your home. Mundane magic or domesticated aesthetics, however you want to take it. The belief in privacy, carried around everywhere. There’s always something a little extra. We are just visiting.
Artists participating Kadi Adrikorn, Spencer M. A., Vilen Künnapu, Anna Mari Liivrand, Joosep Maripuu, Eva Mustonen, Ann Paljuväli, Tomáš Roček, AW stuff, Anni Kivisto & Kirke Talu, Roman-Sten Tõnissoo.
The exhibition is part of the gallery programme of Tallinn Photomonth ’17 contemporary art biennial.
Graphic design: Tarmo Kübard
Installation views: Roman-Sten Tõnissoo
