From 2 — 16 June the Estonian Academy of Arts will present works from this year’s Master students at its annual Graduation Works Festival called TASE ’16 (LEVEL ’16) at the Rauaniidi building, Kotzebue 1/ Põhja pst 7 in Tallinn.
Four floors and several hundred square metres of space will be filled with creative ideas from about thirty different specialties – architectural, design and art projects and objects, which are the result of two years of research and analysis.
Among those we’ll see experimental construction materials made from used coffee grounds, field training facilities for the Estonian military, a project to upgrade the Rummu prison territory into a public space, ideas on how to radically reduce the manic consumerism of the fashion industry and a conceptual work about art circulation in the digitalized world and its impact on the relationship between the original and the copy.
“As every spring, this year also sprouts new architects, artists, designers, and scholars from the Estonian Academy of Arts. Even though, the focal points of the works from specialty to specialty vary, we can see a clear intention to deal with current issues and address them with the tools native to creative people,” says TASE ’16 main organizer, EAA Gallerist Keiu Krikmann and adds:
“The exhibition site itself deserves to be brought to attention as well. TASE also took place in the future art academy building last year and during the interim period, the building has become familiar to the students. It is a historic space, which offers opportunities to present graduation works in a totally unique atmosphere and thus many works will be site-specific.”
In addition to the Master’s Show, the TASE festival will offer a rich satellite programme of student exhibitions and events in the wide spectrum of visual culture.
For the second time, TASE FILM will occur on the screen of Kino Sõprus on 9th June where the best and freshest student films will be shown.
TASE is happy to collaborate with the Association of Estonian Interior Architects in organizing the 3rd International lnterior Architecture Symposium SISU “Welcome Stranger!”, which will focus on the pressing issue of nomadism and its impact on space. SISU will present speakers from the world over, including our own graduates, students, and professors.
TASE – The Traditional Advanced Symbolic Experience is here!

TASE Satellite Programme
The 3rd Interior Architecture Symposium SISU “Welcome Stranger!”
1.-3.06
Hobuveski
Lai 47, Tallinn
The 3rd Interior Architecture Symposium SISU titled “Welcome Stranger!” will take place on 1.-3. June in Tallinn, Estonia. This year’s focus is on a pressing global issue – nomadism – and the impact of human movement on space.
A mobile lifestyle has become the norm in the contemporary world, though people change place from country to country or from urban to rural areas for very different reasons – be it economic crisis, education or employment mobility, war or natural catastrophe, the need for adventure or widening one’s perspective. This movement presents interior architects and environmental designers with new challenges for shaping space.
SISU is a FREE event, but registration is required
