rode imaging event

The retable of St Nicholas’ Church in Tallinn is one of the most magnificent and best preserved late medieval Northern German altarpieces in Europe. The artwork was commissioned from the workshop of the Lübeck master Hermen Rode and was completed between 1478 and 1481. More than forty saints and biblical figures are depicted in the retable and its dimensions place it among the largest retables from the 15th-century Hanseatic cities. The conservation of the high altar of St Nicholas’ Church took place from 1975 to 1992 and was lead by Nikolai Bregman, the leading restorer then in Soviet Union from Moscow. Although majority of the restoration was accomplished, the elaborate sculptures of the retable have only partly been conserved by today. 

The large-scale project initiated by Art Museum of Estonia is focused on the finalizing the conservation works of the altarpiece. The conservation project gives an excellent opportunity to carry out thorough technical research, to compare the results with other works attributed to Hermen Rode and to put the information in a wider context.

About the event

In order to bring together, contextualise and visualize the information received by means of technical and / or art historical research, there is a plan to unify data sources into one documentation format using the modern imaging technologies.

The Rode altar, which is huge in size (approx. 6 x 3.5 meters), combines two-and three-dimensional art (paintings, sculptures, plaques, and polychrome objects), and can be exhibited at various positions. The altar provides an excellent opportunity for the wider analysis of complex objects documenting and mapping information. Workshop brings together several cultural heritage documentation specialists dealing with the know-how and will consider available opportunities and the effectiveness of different methods.

Complex objects (e.g. Rode altar) and ICT solutions available are unique possibility to implement different technologies into the modern museums to provide new level research possibilities and user experience. This case study about the research methods and ICT technologies can be adapted in the future as well, regarding museum objects, needs and visions. 

Seminar, workshop and hackathon providing hands-on experience on the cultural heritage data, targeting producing and managing 2D and 3D documentation for cultural heritage purposes including the related visualization tools for public use. The event will base on data gathered during the Rode altar scientific research, analysis and documentation process.

The purpose of the hackathon is to establish an effective prototype for a new way of experiencing and sharing scientific information, using free and open source software.

A Traveling Fish 

Art Installation 

Varvara Guljajeva & Mar Canet

Description and Concept

What if a fish could surf the Internet? What if a fish could travel through a city?

Taking into account the digital age paradigm that allows us to travel the world without leaving our living room or an office, we aim to allow a fish to do the same: to travel through various cities without leaving its aquarium. Hence, the audience are confronted with the familiar Google street view but from the perspective of fish and its navigation will. It means the center of artwork’s interaction is a fish and not a spectator. Instead the audience are invited to follow the immersive journey of a fish.

Moreover, since a fish lives in water, all the street views will be under the water. Hence, the audience will be able to discover familiar or discover new places but under the water and from the perspective and a will of a fish.

The idea is to make use of fishes’ traveling nature and twist it in the sense of digital age. Continuing with the point of information era, we are relating to the ideas of Marc Auge, who argues about excess of space, time, and ego nowadays. The artwork aims to demonstrate that even a fish is able to travel and be present in number of places. Thus, it will excess its ego, space and time similarly to people.

In addition to that, it is curious to relate to the famous quote and cartoon by Peter Steiner: on the internet, nobody knows you are a dog. Only in our case everyone will know that it is a fish, who is on internet and on Google street view. 

Regarding my research topic, which is unaware participation, through this installation I aim to explore how the day-to-day behavior of a fish could be applied for artistic purposes. Of course, whether a fish is aware or not of its role in the artwork is arguable.

POP-UP POOD: EKA TEKSTIIL 100

Esitlusele ja müüki tulevad EKA tekstiilidisaini eriala 3. kursuse tudengite tooted, mis valmisid Tekstiil 100 projekti raames. Tekstiil kui materjal väljub oma traditsioonilistest raamidest: selles kontekstis võib tekstiilist saada mini-skulptuur, graafiline leht, värvi muutev padi või hoopis praktiline kott või müts.

Osalevad tudengid ja esitletavad tööd:

Kätrin Avarmaa « Lained » käsitelgedel kootud padjad

Marjolaine Goguillot  « Eesti tekstiikunstnikud, portreegalerii » Kes on olnud ühe graafilise disaini välistudengi jaoks kõige tähelepanuväärsemad Eesti tekstiilikunstnikud?

Pamela Peepson « Twister! » nokamütside kollektsioon

Maarja Põld « KIKI » lipsud. Tekstiil väljub oma pehmest materiaalsusest ning omandab klaasile või keraamikale omase jäiga vormi ning pinnastruktuuri.

Raili Randmaa « Jälg » soojustundlike patjade seeria

Kert Viiart « Lost Patterns Of Manufactory » plakati seeria, mis on tuletatud Eesti Kunstiakadeemia tekstiilidisaini osakonna arhiivist leitud Kreenholmi manufaktuurist pärit kangatrüki proovidest.

Kogu kollektsioon on pühendatud EKA tekstiilidisaini osakonna 100ndale juubelile, mille põhisündmused seisavad ees tuleval sügisel.

POP-UP SHOP: EAA TEXTILE 100

This pop-up shop presents and offers fresh products created by the final year BA textile design students at EAA during the Textile 100 project. Their products clearly push the traditional borders of textile as material: some products become miniature sculptures or graphic illustrations, while some others deform the qualities of textile so that it resembles glass/ceramics or changes its surface and functions according to various manipulation.

Participating students:

Kätrin Avarmaa « Waves » hand-woven pillows

Marjolaine Goguillot  « Estonian Textile artists, A Portrait gallery » Who are the 10 most notorious textile artists during the 100 years for a foreign student?

Pamela Peepson « Twister! » cap collection

Maarja Põld « KIKI » bows that show how textile overcomes its soft materiality and acquires stiffness similar to glass and ceramics

Raili Randmaa « Track » pillows that react to temperature change

Kert Viiart « Lost Patterns of Manufactory » a collection of posters inspired by Kreenholm silkscreen print tests on fabric

The Whole collection is dedicated to the centenary of EAA Textile Design Department. Further events to celebrate the centenary will take place in autumn 2014.
