It organises summer schools\\\, workshops\\\, reading circles a nd live action role-plays\\\, creating spaces for learning and exchange ou tside more conventional educational settings. The Trojan Horse Summer Scho ols bring together participants from different backgrounds for an intensiv e week on an island\\\, where they read and discuss together\\\, share the ir own interests and research\\\, organise workshops\\\, and take part in the everyday routines of living together\\\, from cooking and cleaning to swimming and going to the sauna.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe A Week on An Island With Trojan Horse – The Summer School Reader grew out of these experiences. Rather than documenting the themes\\\, workshops and events of the summer schools\\\, the publication gathers personal memories\\\, reflections and interpretations of what happens around and in between them. It is a collec tion of different perspectives on those intense weeks of living\\\, workin g\\\, talking\\\, learning and being together\\\, and on what remains afte r everyone returns home.\\n\\n\\n\\nDuring the launch\\\, we’ll introduc e the publication and hear some of the texts from the book. After the intr oduction and reading session\\\, the warm sauna will be waiting for us. \ \n\\n\\n\\n9 September · 6PMLogi saun\\\, Tallinn\\n\\n\\n\\nCome say goo dbye to the summer with us! \\n\\n\\n\\nEdited by: Ott Kagovere\\\, Hana n Mahbouba\\\, Arlene Tucker\\\, Jaroslav Toussaint\\\, Andre Vicentini\\\ , and Tommi Vasko\\n\\n\\n\\nTexts by: Hanan Mahbouba\\\, Marianna Maruyam a and Arlene Tucker\\\, Jaroslav Toussaint\\\, Andre Vicentini\\\, and Tom mi Vasko\\n\\n\\n\\nGraphic design: Ott Kagovere and Kert Viiart-Õllek.\ \n\\\\n [Events] LOCATION:Logi saun\, Tallinn DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260909T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260909T000000 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/the-summer-school-reader-book-launch-i n-tallinn/ CATEGORIES:Events ITERATOR:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:206791 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:EKA Arh Conference 2026 — “To Be Continued…” [Events] DESCRIPTION:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nEKA Arh Conference 2026 \"To Be Continued....Fro m Scattered Facts to Shared Concerns\"\\n\\n\\n\\n10 September 2026\\n\\n\ \n\\nEKA Arh Conference 2026 takes place as Day 1 of the two-day Tallinn A rchitecture Biennial TAB Symposium.\\n\\n\\n\\nTickets for the EKA Archite cture Conference and the entire TAB Symposium can be purchased on Fienta.\ \n\\n\\n\\nEvent on Facebook · LinkedIn\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThe 2026 E KA Arh Conference focuses on one of the central questions facing architect ure and urban development today: how do we move forward when starting from scratch is no longer a viable option? While knowledge about climate trans ition\\\, resource limits\\\, and the built environment is abundant\\\, tr anslating that knowledge into collective action remains a challenge. Rathe r than asking only what comes next\\\, the conference asks what can and sh ould continue.\\n\\n\\n\\nAcross urban\\\, building\\\, and material scale s\\\, international speakers and researchers explore adaptation\\\, reuse\ \\, and transformation in the built environment. The programme brings toge ther perspectives from architecture\\\, planning\\\, construction\\\, and research to discuss how existing places\\\, buildings\\\, and resources ca n support meaningful change\\\, and how scattered knowledge can become sha red concerns capable of shaping long-term action.\\n\\n\\n\\nParticipants can earn 10 Estonian Architects Union continuing professional development (CPD) credits for attending the conference.\\n\\n\\n\\nProgramme\\n\\n\\n\ \n09:30–09:45\\n\\n\\n\\nOpening Words\\n\\n\\n\\n09:45–10:30\\n\\n\\n \\nTransformation Keynote \\n\\n\\n\\nAleksi Neuvonen (Demos Helsinki\\\, Finland) From Fragmentation to New Norm(ative)Climate action in cities is pulled in different directions by varied priorities\\\, worldviews\\\, dat a sources\\\, and levels of ambition. Shared\\\, time-bound climate and ca rbon neutrality goals have helped\\\, giving everyone a common target. But a goal alone isn't enough. Every city's material culture (buildings\\\, i nfrastructures\\\, technologies) shapes not just how it behaves today\\\, but what future it can imagine. Because different cities inherit different material cultures\\\, often shaped by past technology and finance decisio ns\\\, they move towards the future at different speeds. The challenge is building a shared direction that still recognizes these differences.\\n\\n \\n\\n10:30–10:45 — Coffee Break\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nParallel Sessi on I\\n\\n\\n\\n10:45–12:15\\n\\n\\n\\nSpatial and Architectural Transfo rmation\\n\\n\\n\\nLocation: Main HallChair: Kaja Pae\\n\\n\\n\\nThis sess ion explores processes of spatial transformation across urban and architec tural scales\\\, examining how cities\\\, landscapes\\\, and built environ ments adapt to changing social\\\, ecological\\\, and cultural conditions.

Over 40 students and professionals from Estonia and abroad will participate in the international course.\\n\\n\\n\\nIron casting is primarily common in heavy industry\\\, but despite its complexity\\\, artists and designers ar e also involved in it. In the pursuit of efficiency and clear definitions\ \\, such areas between the highly standardized and the creative-experiment al tend to disappear\\\, but in order to maintain cultural integrity\\\, i t is important to keep these spaces – to maintain existing competencies and at the same time strengthen diversity.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe course\\\, which will take place from August 31 to September 11\\\, will explore iron cast ing technologies at different levels – starting with learning about iron casting as a basic metalworking technology and its various processes\\\, and moving on to metal alloys\\\, technological possibilities and creative experiments on different scales.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe course is attended by stu dents from EKA and other higher education institutions\\\, as well as prof essionals from Estonia and abroad. Among the participants are students fro m Germany\\\, Sweden\\\, Norway and Japan\\\, as well as students from EKA ’s jewellery and blacksmithing\\\, craft studies and contemporary art de partments\\\, and Erasmus students.

As artificial intelli gence becomes increasingly prevalent in mediating and shaping our interact ions\\\, creation\\\, and decision-making\\\, there is a constant negotiat ion taking place.\\n\\n\\n\\nIn response to the 2026 theme “NEGOTIATING HUMANITY – THE FUTURE BEGINS”\\\, House of Negotiated Selves frames th is negotiation as an embodied experience. Through the metaphor of the dist orted mirrors of an amusement park\\\, our own reflections appear similar\ \\, but ultimately deceive us. The installation asks when our reflection b ecomes a substitute and when a machine begins to speak for us.\\n\\n\\n\\n Visitors enter a world where their presence is perceived and interpreted. At first\\\, the system seems to be a mirror of their true selves and pres ence. Gradually\\\, the reflection begins to wander\\\, predicting\\\, dis torting\\\, and misrepresenting the visitor. What begins as recognition be comes ambiguity and displacement. Rather than correcting one form of disto rtion\\\, the work allows it to emerge\\\, revealing to the visitor a dist urbing experience of representation that no longer belongs to them.\\n\\n\ \n\\nHouse of Negotiating Selves explores AI-mediated representation and t he erosion of human agency. Situated at the intersection of interaction de sign\\\, critical AI research\\\, and sensory art\\\, the project translat es an abstract discussion into a tangible experience that is not about wha t AI is\\\, but rather how it will come to represent us\\\, whether we agr ee with it or not.\\n\\n\\n\\n//\\n\\n\\n\\nDANUBEN TRIANGLE\\n\\n\\n\\nTh is year's Ars Electronica team (Product Design + ixd students):\\n\\n\\n\\ nPaula JürgensMartin OravTõnis Bender (IXD)Kulla KangurAnett Elis Männi lCarina SchipaiHendra Raud (IXD)Sara De Simone (IXD)Paul PankMarkus HuntGu stav Villem Kalberg\\n\\n\\n\\nSupervisors: Carol Tikerperi and Bob Bickne ll-Knight\\n\\n\\n\\nSupport and assistance: Björn Koop\\\, Kätlin Leoki n\\\, Kaspar Pulk\\n\\\\n [Exhibitions] LOCATION:Linz University of the Arts\, Hauptplatz 8 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260909 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260913 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/eka-team-at-the-ars-electronica-campus -exhibition/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ITERATOR:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:198998 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:Seminar: How to write a more inclusive\, transnational and polyphon ic history of the visual arts on a European scale today? DESCRIPTION:The EKA Institute of Art History and Visual Culture is part of the Visual Arts in Europe: An Open History (EVA) project that brings toget her more than 150 art and heritage historians representing the 46 member c ountries of the Council of Europe. The project is led by an Editorial Boar d\\\, composed of six European specialists\\\, and supported by the Intern ational Association of Research Institutes in the History of Art (RIHA). I ts scientific and operational coordination is provided by the Institut nat ional d’histoire de l’art (INHA) in Paris.\\nLaunched in 2019\\\, this scientific and editorial project results in the publication of a digital platform\\\, documenting the history of the visual arts on the European co ntinent\\\, from prehistory to the present day. This platform will be stru ctured around a collection of 475 objects and images\\\, selected in consu ltation with all of its institutional partners. It is developed within the framework of an international dialogue\\\, remaining attentive to the plu rality and richness of scholarly traditions\\\, accessible to all audience s\\\, and providing an account of current research in the discipline of ar t history.\\nThis seminar will examine the principles that inspired the la unch of this project\\\, the methodology used both for the selection of ob jects and the attribution of associated texts\\\, as well as the challenge s encountered during the development of the digital platform. The presenta tion of the project and platform prototype will be followed by an open dis cussion with colleagues from the EKA Institute of Art History and Visual C ulture\\\, host of this seminar and Estonian project partner. With INHA di rector Anne-Solène Rolland and project coordinator Margot Sanitas present \\\, the seminar will be an opportunity for all the Estonian representativ es to share their reflections on the selection of objects and how the proj ect contributes to reshaping our common history of European visual culture .\\n\\n\\n\\n LOCATION:EKA\, A-501 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260917T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260917T000000 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/seminar-how-to-write-a-more-inclusive- transnational-and-polyphonic-history-of-the-visual-arts-on-a-european-scal e-today/ ITERATOR:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:209522 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:Talk: Emma Sarpaniemi [Open Lectures] DESCRIPTION:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nKoht: A-403 \\n\\n\\n\\nAeg: N 17.9. kell 12:00 -13:00\\n\\n\\n\\nEmma Sarpaniemi is a visual artist based between Helsink i and Reykjavík. Sarpaniemi received a BA in photography from the Royal A cademy of Art\\\, The Hague (KABK) in 2019. In her practice\\\, Sarpaniemi explores womanhood and definitions of femininity through performative sel f-portraits. For her\\\, self-portraiture is a playground\\\, a realm for exploring representation and resisting conventions of the gaze. The portra yed characters offer the possibility to continuously reconstruct oneself. The shutter release cable\\\, often clearly visible in her photographs\\\, serves as a symbol of the subject being in control of their own image. Th e characters she creates are fictional\\\, but they are not alter egos. Fo r her it’s inevitable that she regoznised herself in the images\\\, wher e identity\\\, reality and imagination intertwine. \\n\\n\\n\\nFor Sarpan iemi\\\, photography is a medium of joy and playfulness\\\, empowering to dream of new possibilities of femininity\\\, gender roles and the gaze. Co llaboration and collectivity also hold important roles in her work. Traces of friends’ presence appear in individual portraits through elements su ch as a painted house\\\, wooden frames\\\, or a friend focusing behind th e camera. Her works have been extensively exhibited in galleries\\\, muse ums\\\, and festivals throughout Europe and are included in notable public art collections as well as numerous private collections. \\n\\n\\n\\nEmma Sarpaniemi will participate in the Foto Tallinn art fair on September 18- 20\\\, where she will be represented by the Helsinki Contemporary Gallery. \\n\\n\\n\\nwebsite\\n\\\\n [Open Lectures] LOCATION:A-403 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260917T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn:20260917T130000 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/talk-emma-sarpaniemi/ CATEGORIES:Open Lectures ITERATOR:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:209133 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:KVI open lecture: Anne-Solène Rolland “Provenance Research and H eritage Repatriations in France: Case Studies in Museums and Research Inst itutions” [Open Lectures] DESCRIPTION:Anne-Solène Rolland is General Director of the Institut nation al d’histoire de l’art in Paris (French national institute for art his tory).

At the same time\\\, they raise questions about touch\\\, tacit knowledge\\\, materiality\\\, authorship\\\, and cre ative agency. These questions are particularly relevant to jewellery\\\, a field historically grounded in handwork\\\, embodied skill\\\, and direct engagement with materials.\\n\\nIn her doctoral research\\\, artist and j ewellery maker Sofja Hallik examines how digital technologies interact wit h contemporary jewellery practice and reshape the role of the maker. Devel oped over approximately ten years\\\, the research spans a period of signi ficant technological change and the growing integration of digital technol ogies into creative practice.\\n\\nThe practice-based research is centred on three case studies: handwork\\\, hybrid-work\\\, and machine production . Through the creation and analysis of three jewellery collections and the ir accompanying exhibitions\\\, Hallik examines different relationships be tween the hand\\\, tools\\\, and materials. The three approaches are not t reated as fixed categories\\\, but as positions along a continuum shaped b y varying degrees of manual work and technological intervention.\\n\\nThe findings demonstrate that digital and manual processes should not be under stood as opposite forces\\\, but as mutually informing components of conte mporary jewellery practice. Digital technologies do not simply replace tra ditional craftsmanship. They change the conditions of making and enable ne w forms of experimentation\\\, complexity\\\, and precision. Hybrid making emerges as a methodology based on continuous interaction between human ta ctility and machine logic.\\n\\nThe research also shows that digital techn ologies transform rather than simply remove touch and tacit knowledge from jewellery practice. Direct tactile engagement may decrease as technologic al involvement increases\\\, but embodied knowledge continues to inform di gital decisions through parameters\\\, commands\\\, selections\\\, and adj ustments. The research therefore expands the understanding of touch throug h the concepts of digital touch and speculative tactility.\\n\\nThe disser tation's central finding concerns the changing role of the tool. Hallik id entifies three roles: tool as a tool\\\, tool as a partner\\\, and tool as a creator. These roles represent different degrees of agency and authorsh ip. As technological involvement increases\\\, tools can move from executi ng the maker’s intentions towards actively influencing or generating for m. The maker remains involved by establishing parameters\\\, evaluating po ssibilities\\\, selecting outcomes\\\, and translating digital forms into physical objects. Authorship can therefore become shared rather than singu lar.\\n\\nThe research demonstrates that traditional craftsmanship and dig ital production are not opposing approaches\\\, but exist in a complex and evolving relationship.

DESCRIPTION:\\n**Please take note: this event is in Estonian only\\\, no tr anslation provided on location** How should a concentration camp and its v ictims be commemorated in the urban landscape of Estonia today? During the German occupation\\\, between 3\\\,500 and 4\\\,000 people were executed at the Tartu concentration camp. The victims included people who had colla borated with the Soviet authorities\\\, Jewish and Roma families from Tart u\\\, and Jewish men\\\, women and children brought to Tartu from Latvia.\ \n\\n\\n\\nToday\\\, few traces of the camp are visible in the public land scape. The main sites of remembrance are the Soviet-era memorial at Lemmat si outside Tartu (1964\\\, designed by Elmar Rebane and Väino Tamm) and t wo smaller memorial stones at the Jewish cemetery in Lohkva. Yet the conce ntration camp was not confined to a single site: its network of facilities extended across the city.\\n\\n\\n\\nIn light of recent historical resear ch\\\, the ways in which the Tartu concentration camp has been remembered in independent Estonia call for renewed attention\\\, both in cultural mem ory and in public space.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis seminar brings together historian s\\\, scholars of memory and urban space\\\, and artists to examine the hi story of the Tartu concentration camp and its place in the memory landscap e of Tartu and Estonia. Its broader aim is to explore how the various site s associated with the camp might be connected into a coherent framework— both conceptually and spatially—within the contemporary city.\\n\\n\\n\\ nAs a first step\\\, the seminar seeks to create a space for dialogue betw een experts from different fields and the citizens of Tartu\\\, providing a foundation for future decisions and initiatives aimed at making the hist ory of the concentration camp more visible.\\n\\n\\n\\nHow should we appro ach Soviet-era memorial sites today? How can difficult histories be repres ented in public space in ways that reflect recent historical research and changing social and cultural contexts?\\n\\n\\n\\nAlongside presentations and discussions\\\, the seminar programme includes a guided bus tour of si tes connected with the Tartu concentration camp and a visit to the Lemmats i Memorial.\\n\\n\\n\\nPROGRAMME\\n\\n\\n\\n11:15Welcome and opening remar ksRisto Lehiste (Tartu City Museum)Kristo Nurmis (Tallinn University)\\n\\ n\\n\\nSESSION I\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Tartu Concentration Camp: Historical Persp ectives\\n\\n\\n\\n11:30–11:50Riho Västrik (Tallinn University)The Conc entration Camp System in Estonia during the German Occupation\\n\\n\\n\\n1 1:50–12:10Kristo Nurmis (Tallinn University)The Concentration Camp and C ommunal Violence in Tartu during the German Occupation\\n\\n\\n\\n12:10– 12:30Meelis Maripuu (Estonian Institute of Historical Memory)Soviet Rule a nd the Tartu Concentration Camp\\n\\n\\n\\n12:30–12:45DiscussionModerate d by David Ilmar Lepasaar Beecher (University of Tartu)\\n\\n\\n\\n12:45 –13:30Lunch\\n\\n\\n\\nSESSION II\\n\\n\\n\\nCommemorating Concentration Camps: Comparative Perspectives\\n\\n\\n\\n13:30–13:50Kädi Talvoja (Es tonian Academy of Arts)The Lemmatsi Memorial: An Art-Historical Perspectiv e\\n\\n\\n\\n13:50–14:10Eneken Laanes (Tallinn University)Conceptual App roaches in Cultural Memory to Commemorating the German Occupation\\n\\n\\n \\n14:10–14:30Hellar Lill (Estonian War Museum – General Laidoner Muse um)Exhumation and Reburial of the Victims of the Second World War\\n\\n\\n \\n14:30–14:45DiscussionModerated by Gregor Taul (Estonian Academy of Ar ts)\\n\\n\\n\\n14:45–15:00Coffee break\\n\\n\\n\\nSESSION III\\n\\n\\n\\ nHow Should the Tartu Concentration Camp Be Commemorated in Public Space?\ \n\\n\\n\\n15:00–16:00Panel discussionModerated by Mariann Raisma (Unive rsity of Tartu Museum)\\n\\n\\n\\nParticipants:Ants Siim (Tartu City Museu m)Karin Bachmann (Kino Landscape Architects)Kertu Vuks (Tartu City Governm ent)Gennadi Gramberg (Estonian Jewish Museum)Taavi Piibemann (Pallas Unive rsity of Applied Sciences)\\n\\n\\n\\n16:15–18:00Guided bus tour\\n\\n\\ n\\nA bus tour of sites associated with the Tartu concentration camp\\\, f ollowed by a visit to the Lemmatsi Memorial.

In Kurki’s images human form is shown together with plants and creatures\\\, things that are reborn every season seemingly unchanged. By inviting a range of fellow artists to visi t her great-grandparents’ house she creates a living archive through sha red moments where friendship can become the main outcome of the work\\\, n ot just its subject.\\n\\n\\n\\nTaavi Rekkaro presents photos and objects that rethink photography as something to be touched\\\, where closeness be comes part of the experience. The images capture fleeting moments\\\, inne r uncertainties\\\, and attempts to understand oneself and one’s relatio nships with others. Exploring the connections between memory\\\, body and self-perception\\\, the artist asks: how can we be sure that we were truly there\\\, that these moments really happened? On the gallery wall unfolds a melting moment composed of works created since 2023.

Shades of Dark Heritage” is the first exhibition of Urmo Vaikla’s practice-based doctoral researc h. It explores military architectural heritage in the context of Hiiumaa a nd its impact on the island’s landscape\\\, local community\\\, and coll ective memory.Although island may appear separate and isolated\\\, it has always been influenced by global political processes. Defensive lines and military installations were built on the Hiiumaa both before and during th e First and Second World Wars. A rich military heritage also dates from th e 50-year period of Soviet occupation\\\, when the island was the westernm ost border zone of the Soviet Empire. Traces of this history remain visibl e: boundary strips once ploughed and raked through the coastal forests\\\, defensive trenches branching out like a capillary network\\\, and barbed wire still scattered here and there. Countless bunkers\\\, cannon position s of coastal batteries\\\, border guard towers\\\, and training grounds re main abandoned in the landscape\\\, evoking a dark history embedded in the island’s natural environment.\\n\\n\\n\\nUrmo Vaikla’s research focus es on spatial conditions in the aftermath of trauma\\\, examining the pers istence and adaptation of architectural heritage in the context of social and political change. The aim is to map and investigate spatial values and to seek answers to the questions of whether\\\, and how\\\, dark heritage can be interpreted and (re)used.\\n\\n\\n\\nMethodologically\\\, the exhi bition project draws on two curated international creative residencies add ressing military heritage—Time Lap and Pinhole—which took place at Kor don Art Residency on Hiiumaa between 2024 and 2026. The residency programm es explored political trauma through embodied (somatic) experience\\\, per sonal objects\\\, and individual experience. The exhibition is a visual an d poetic synthesis of the material gathered and experienced during the res idencies\\\, together with the creative projects.\\n\\n\\n\\nArtists parti cipated in the residency program: Selina Bonelli\\\, Thomas Reul \\\, Ale xander Petrounine\\\, Anna Underowicz\\\, Anu Pennanen\\\, Kaisa Karvinen\ \\, Jona Kleinlein\\\, Nelly HaagResidency Program Curators: Urmo Vaikla\ \\, Tüüne-Kristin VaiklaThe exhibition is supported by: Eesti Kultuurk apital\\\, Eesti Sisearhitektide Liit\\\, ühendus Ruum ja Vorm\\n\\\\n [E xhibitions] LOCATION:Draakoni kõht\, Pikk 18\, Tallinn  DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260827 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260926 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/urmo-vaikla-an-island-is-not-an-island -shades-of-dark-heritage/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ITERATOR:12 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:208939 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:Andre Joosep Arming “Chain Reaction” [Exhibitions] DESCRIPTION:\\n28 August – 27 September 2026Hobusepea Gallery\\\, Tallinn \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nOn 27 August at 6:30 PM\\\, the artist Andre Joose p Arming’s debut solo exhibition Chain Reaction will open at the Hobusep ea Gallery with a festive\\\, Renaissance-themed masquerade ball\\\, direc ted by Linda Mai Kari.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition is an exploration of huma n fragility\\\, solitude\\\, adaptation and perseverance\\\, focusing on t he tension field between the ending of life and new beginnings. The exhibi tion will remain open until 27 September.\\n\\n\\n\\nChain Reaction is abo ut celebrating the joy of existence and the privilege of being alive. Armi ng’s works serve as a poignant reminder to inhabit the present fully\\\, with complete intensity\\\, despite not knowing what the future holds. Th e artist adds: “I would like to remind everyone and acknowledge that lif e is hard\\\, but it is worth it.”\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition showcases w orks from 2018–2025\\\, alongside three new series created specifically for the show: Don Quixote I\\\, Detachment Does Not Exist and Epistemic He art. A core element of Arming’s practice is the poetic autobiographical portrait\\\, through which he presents an uplifting\\\, life-affirming phi losophy despite a complex medical background. His works move across the bo rder between personal and universal\\\, intertwining memories\\\, identity \\\, time\\\, love and mortality.\\n\\n\\n\\nArming draws inspiration from both pop culture and the visual everyday environment. In his works\\\, ma ximalism manifests itself not only as an aesthetic choice\\\, but also as a viable lifestyle and resistance to simplification. During the exhibition \\\, the artist’s alter ego “Non Mors” also comes to life\\\, openin g up the theme of death through playfulness\\\, absurdity and drama.\\n\\n \\n\\nAndre Joosep Arming (b. 1995) holds a BA in Photography (2018) and a n MA in Contemporary Art (2024) from the Estonian Academy of Arts.

This exhibition\\\, however\\\, begins from a more fragile place: the f eeling that something suddenly becomes meaningful\\\, charged\\\, untoucha ble\\\, even when it is ordinary or impossible to describe in words.\\n\\n \\n\\nThe sense of intensity experienced in the exhibition presents sacred ness not as a fixed definition\\\, but rather as a field that circulates a round objects. The protruding elements of the works evoke both protective armour and an energy field. Each form appears to hold or guard something —a memory\\\, a body\\\, a habit\\\, a fantasy—yet their actual functi on remains open.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition invites visitors to reflect on\ \\, and remind themselves of\\\, what feels sacred to them. Not in a grand or formal sense\\\, but in the small ways certain objects\\\, routines\\\ , and stories remain attached to us. Can something sacred exist only in re ality\\\, or does it exist solely in our imagination?\\n\\n\\n\\n* Many of the ceramic works were created during an almost year-long ceramics intern ship in Berlin – a period that has shaped their forms and surfaces. In t he exhibition\\\, they are brought together in a new\\\, altar-like conste llation that makes room for both real and imagined sacred things.\\n\\n\\n \\nCristopher Siniväli (b. 1999) is a ceramic artist who received a Maste r’s degree in Design and Crafts from the Estonian Academy of Arts in 202 5. His artistic practice centres on creating non-functional ceramic compos itions\\\, drawing deeply on nature and personal emotions for inspiration. In recent years\\\, he has also explored the relationship between the hum an body and ceramics\\\, considering how form and presence affect both the viewer’s experience and the experience of wearing an object. His work c reates connections between ceramics\\\, fashion\\\, and sculpture.\\n\\n\\ n\\nThank you: ARS Ceramics Center\\\, Estonian Artists' Association\\\, V ivarec\\\, Bildhauerwerkstatt\\\, Karksi\\\, Fazer\\n\\\\n [Exhibitions] LOCATION:ARS Applied Arts Gallery DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260904 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260930 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/cristopher-sinivali-the-sacred-feeling -of/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ITERATOR:15 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:209112 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:Reimo Võsa-Tangsoo “Mind the Frog!” [Exhibitions] DESCRIPTION:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nOne of the starting points for the exhibition is Karel Čapek’s The Gardener’s Year. Čapek’s sharp and humorous obs ervations on a (city) gardener’s desires\\\, joys\\\, disappointments an d endless need to care for something immediately struck a chord.\\n\\n\\n\ \nHaving spent an increasing amount of time at a summer cottage in recent years\\\, I have also begun to develop my own\\\, still rather vague under standing of rural life and the rhythms of nature. These rhythms can be cal ming and abundant\\\, but at the same time ruthless and starkly indifferen t.\\n\\n\\n\\nAutumn evenings and nights in the countryside are dark\\\, u nless the moon is shining. If wearing a reflector in the city is recommend ed\\\, in the countryside making yourself visible can be a necessity.\\n\\ n\\n\\nA beautiful summer is pleasant and abundant\\\, but already in Augu st the creatures that have kept their distance from the house begin pushin g their way back in through cracks and openings. All it takes is a single day away for birds to devour all the berries ripening on the bushes\\\, or for the last apples fallen beneath the trees to disappear overnight.\\n\\ n\\n\\nIt is uncomfortably sobering to realise how fragile life is\\\, and how much care is required to maintain this small part of our surroundings that we try to “domesticate” or cultivate. Even if one somehow manage s to avoid disease\\\, fungi and frost\\\, a vole suddenly moving into the garden can be enough to throw the entire order of things into question.\\ n\\n\\n\\nIn the countryside\\\, humans are not necessarily the masters. E veryone is competing for food\\\, light and space. If humans imagine they have an advantage in this struggle\\\, it is only for as long as they rema in vigilant and keep things “in order”. In the end\\\, everything is f ood for someone or something.\\n\\n\\n\\nOf course\\\, one can take an arr ogant position - scatter poison left and right\\\, put up deterrents\\\, o r concrete over every available patch of ground.

The plastic bag’s association with Western consumerism is prec isely what made it an object of value during the Soviet period in Estonia. Behind the iron curtain\\\, anything linked to the West was desirable bec ause it signified modernity and freedom. The plastic bag thus became a cur rency\\\, an accessory\\\, a collectible and now\\\, it’s a documentatio n of a bygone era.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe bags in this exhibition are originally f rom private collections and most of them are now in the collection of the Estonian Museum of Applied Arts and Design. They are examples of Estonian product design and applied graphic art\\\, yet their designs also illustra te the daily culture of Soviet life in Estonia. The value that was attache d to these bags was a reflection of its time which is remembered for its s carcity and repression. Our shift in perspective towards plastic bags refl ects the shift in the world around us\\\, both in everyday realities as we ll as political ideology. Plastic is known for its plasticity\\\, its abil ity to shapeshift and morph. The reputation of plastic bags is plastic – it has changed from revolutionary wonder-material and object of desire to useless\\\, disposable trash\\\, associated with deteriorating over-produ ction. In a way\\\, every archive is plastic\\\, because the way we see th e objects is ever changing.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe texts of the exhibition are bas ed on the supporting materials of the exhibition “Kile kotti! / Plastic into Bag!” which was shown at the Estonian National Museum and Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design in 2004 and 2005\\\, especially the inter views conducted by Kristi Kaljumägi and the exhibition text written by Pi lle-Triin Männik.\\n\\n\\n\\nThank you to Helen Adamson\\\, Kristi Kaljum ägi\\\, Marvi Meriniit\\\, Anu Järs\\\, Chloé Gourvennec\\\, Eva Mahhov \\\, Marit Hololei and Katri Kuus.

These stories speak to age-ol d needs: how to be with people when they can no longer be with us\\\, and how to say the words that have come too late.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe believe in tha t which we hope for. We believe that our memory will always shine with the same brightness. We believe that we will forever hold a place in this rap idly changing\\\, aching world. Faith is a small and stubborn thing. It is a load which we bear. This faith can become a chapel-shaped house\\\, not built in memory of a single person\\\, but as a tribute to all those who have ever been longed for.\\n\\n\\n\\nIt is hard to say why mortal humans build houses for those who are no longer here\\\, shelters in which one ca n continue to believe in the possibility of good\\\, quiet worlds\\\, fill ed with small gestures for humanity\\\, cobbled together bit by bit from w hatever happens to be at hand\\\, without trying to adorn that which we st ill do not know\\\, or force any meaning onto anything. But still\\\, smal l stones\\\, lines\\\, pieces from familiar places say: someone was here. They did exist. And maybe in the end that is the meaning of faith: we hope that something stays.\\n\\n\\n\\nLoora Kaubi (b. 1998) is an artist worki ng in Tallinn.

The exhibition is part of the Vilnius Gallery Weekend programme.\\n\\n\\n\\nFamiliar Stranger brings together works by Zuza Banasińska\\\, Loora Kaubi\\\, Sarah Neumann and Milda Janu ševičiūtė\\\, to look at memory as an unstable process through which p ersonal and collective identities are continually reconstructed. The exhib ition lingers between family histories\\\, inherited images\\\, bodily mem ory and digital archives\\\, asking what happens when the past reaches out through fragments: a story repeated by relatives\\\, an image whose detai ls no longer agree\\\, a gesture inherited without explanation\\\, or a fi le stored somewhere in the clouds. Memory here is less an archive of what happened\\\, and more an ongoing negotiation between what is remembered\\\ , forgotten\\\, altered and passed on.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition is intere sted in the shift between embodied and externalised memory. What was once held in stories\\\, objects and bodies increasingly also exists on corpora te servers\\\, accessible through passwords\\\, subscriptions and infrastr uctures that we rarely see. Forgetting may be a basic condition of being h uman\\\; data storage has made it into a service.\\n\\n\\n\\nRather than t reating memory as reliable evidence\\\, Familiar Stranger considers how remembering is shaped by repetition\\\, omission\\\, technology\\\, and th e moment from which it looks back. The familiar can return slightly change d\\\; someone else’s memory can quietly enter our own\\\; an inherited s tory can feel simultaneously intimate and strangely foreign. The exhibitio n does not propose the recovery of an original\\\, intact past. Instead\\\ , it asks how to live with what remains\\\, what has already been rewritte n\\\, and what we choose\\\, or allow other systems\\\, to remember for us .\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition can be seen at Editorial (Latako 3\\\, Vilnius ) until 24 October.\\n\\n\\n\\nFamiliar StrangerArtists: Zuza Banasińska\ \\, Milda Januševičiūtė\\\, Loora Kaubi\\\, Sarah NeumannCurator: Mild a JanuševičiūtėArchitect: Ona JuciūtėDesigner: Monika Janulevičiūt ėLanguage Editor: Joseph Everatt\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition is funded by t he Lithuanian Council for CultureThe exhibition will be accompanied by a p rogramme of events: follow us for updates at www.editorial.lt.\\n\\\\n [Ex hibitions] LOCATION:Editorial (Latako 3\, Vilnius) DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260911 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20261024 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/banasinska-kaubi-januseviciute-familia r-stranger/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ITERATOR:24 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:208786 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:Kaisa Maasik.

These may be a fleeting smile between two strangers\\\, the first day after a lo ng winter when you can finally swap your boots for sneakers\\\, or the sou nd of rain tapping on a windowsill that briefly wakes you in the night bef ore lulling you back to sleep. Maasik’s works are rooted in observation and attentiveness\\\, bringing together collected moments and everyday obs ervations shared by different people. Against the backdrop of rapid inform ation flows and constant competition for our attention in digital environm ents\\\, the exhibition invites visitors to slow down and notice what usua lly remains in the background – situations that could happen to any of u s and that remind us that life is largely made up of such small\\\, genuin e moments.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Young Tartu exhibition series was launched in 20 17 with the aim of promoting and supporting the work of emerging artists c onnected to Tartu.

In 2019\\\, s he furthered her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of the University of the Arts Helsinki in the Praxis curatorial master’s programme. Collabora tion plays an important role in Maasik’s practice\\\; she works both col lectively and independently on projects that often take the form of spatia l artworks. She focuses on the feelings and experiences of people she enco unters\\\, seeking to convey their stories through objects and memories. C ollecting is central to Maasik’s methodology\\\, drawing primarily on ev eryday life. She was a member of the Umbrella Group (2016–2017) and has been involved in the organising teams of the project space Vent Space (201 8–2019) and the Tallinn Photomonth Biennial (2017 and 2019). In 2020\\\, Maasik was awarded the Wiiralt Scholarship. In spring 2021\\\, she partic ipated in the FAIR residency at FABRIKKEN in Copenhagen.

A work may function like an acoustic organism – one piece absorbing sound through matte\\\, porous surfaces and soft e dges\\\; another reflecting it through glossy glaze\\\, tense arches\\\, a nd hard surfaces\\\; a third dispersing it through rhythmic reliefs and fr agmented geometry.\\n\\n\\n\\nAir is an essential quality of the works: th e invisible volume held inside the ceramic is like a lung or chamber\\\, g iving the object internal tension and presence. Openings\\\, necks\\\, edg es\\\, lids\\\, and mouths create the impression that an object could reso nate – even if it does not actually make a sound. The focus therefore sh ifts from sound as content – melody\\\, recording\\\, performance – to sound as a quality: resonance\\\, silence\\\, reverberation\\\, and dampe ning.\\n\\n\\n\\nSilence becomes the exhibition’s supporting material. “Silence” as a formal decision – an omitted detail\\\, a break in a pattern – and “listening” as a way of looking. The viewer does not n eed to listen with their ears\\\; it is enough for the work to make them p erceive the space differently: more slowly\\\, more closely\\\, and more a ttentively.\\n\\n\\n\\n“silent resonance” is not a conventional cerami cs exhibition where visitors are expected to keep their distance from seem ingly fragile works. On the contrary\\\, visitors can physically engage wi th many of the pieces: approach them\\\, view them from different angles\\ \, and discover details that only become visible up close. Several works c an even be gently touched\\\, moved\\\, and used to produce sound. This in teractivity is not a “game\\\,” but a way of listening to the space an d the work through the body: how the direction of openings\\\, the depth o f inner voids\\\, the roughness of surfaces\\\, or glazed areas become per ceptible only through closer engagement.\\n\\n\\n\\nA quiet resonance emer ges when looking becomes a form of attention akin to listening.\\n\\n\\n\\ nOrganizer: Estonian Ceramists' Association\\n\\n\\n\\nCurator: Cristopher Siniväli\\n\\n\\n\\nSupporters: Cultural Endowment of Estonia\\\, Bellus Furniture OÜ\\\, Nudist Participating artists: Mari Ait\\\, Ingrid Allik \\\, Kaja Altvee\\\, Merike Hallik\\\, Kadi Hektor\\\, Elize Hiiop\\\, Eve Hint\\\, Jarõna Ilo\\\, Sergei Isupov\\\, Kadri Jäätma\\\, Tiina Kalju ste\\\, Karin Kalman\\\, Üllo Karro\\\, Kersti Karu\\\, Lauri Kilusk\\\, Milvi Korela\\\, Jaana Kormashov\\\, Külli Kõiv\\\, Kristel Kärdi\\\, T riinu Maide-Safin\\\, Margit Mald\\\, Maia Noorväli\\\, Ann Nurga\\\, Aig i Orav\\\, Clelia Piirsoo\\\, Urmas Puhkan\\\, Rave Puhm\\\, Kadri Pärnam ets\\\, Anne Pärtna\\\, Rita Randma\\\, Ene Raud-Mägi\\\, Sander Raudsep p\\\, Aino Saan\\\, Maarika Saarelaht\\\, Kärt Seppel\\\, Marget Tafel-Va htra\\\, Katri Taklaja\\\, Ene Tapfer\\\, Annika Teder\\\, Margit Terasmee s\\\, Helena Tuudelepp\\\, Triin Türnpuu\\\, Mart Vaarpuu\\\, Helle Videv ik\\n\\\\n [Exhibitions] LOCATION:Ukuaru Gallery\, Vabaduse 4\, Rakvere DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20260905 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Tallinn;VALUE=DATE:20261031 URL:https://www.artun.ee/en/calendar/ceramists-union-annual-exhibition-sile nt-resonance/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ITERATOR:26 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:209326 DTSTAMP:20260909T133445Z SUMMARY:From Sketch to Printed Fabric [Exhibitions] DESCRIPTION:\\nA joint exhibition by the EKA Textile Department and Kreenho lm textile artists on the process of printed-fabric making \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\nOpening at Narva Art Residency on September 5th 16:00\\\, From Sk etch to Printed Fabric brings together archival materials by Kreenholm tex tile artists and contemporary printed fabrics by students of the Estonian Academy of Arts.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition looks at the process behind pri nted textiles: how a repeat is constructed\\\, how a sketch develops into a printable fabric\\\, and how colour separation and registration shape th e final result.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe exhibition presents works and archival mate rials by Kreenholm textile artists from 1960–2000\\\, including sketches \\\, repeats\\\, colour studies\\\, print proofs and fabrics.
