Rubriik: Tugistruktuurid

Reedel, 16. novembril 2018. a kell 14.00 toimub ARSi projektiruumis (Pärnu mnt 154, Tallinn) kunsti ja disaini eriala doktorandi Sofia Hallik’u doktoritöö loomingulise osa juurde kuuluva isikunäituse “Tangibility Matters” eelretsenseerimine.

Näitus on avatud:

15.11.2018 kell 12-18

16.11.2018 kell 12-20 (kell 18.00 toimub näituse lõpetamine)

Doktoritöö juhendajad on prof Kadri Mälk (Eesti Kunstiakadeemia) ja dr Jaak Tomberg.

Näituse eelretsensendid on dr Kärt Ojavee (Eesti Kunstiakadeemia) ja dr Raivo Kelomees (Eesti Kunstiakadeemia).

Ehtesari, mis on tehtud näituse jaoks doktoritöö raames, kujutab endast käsitöö ja digitaalse tootmise hübriidi. Luues ehet tunneb autor vajadust seda puudutada ja kompida, kuid 3D-printeriga tehtud objekt on tühi vorm, mis tuleb millegagi täita. Tehnoloogiamaailmas tunneb autor puudust füüsilisest kontaktist kunstiteosega, kuna CAD-programmiga töötamine ja 3D-printimine muudavad käeagakatsutavuse olemust. Just seetõttu autor kustutab prinditud objektilt digitaalsuse kihi käsitöö ja ehtekunsti traditsiooniliste võtetega. Nii tekib 3D-prinditud objektile emotsioon.

Näitusel välja pandud tööd on sündinud kahest vastuolulisest algest: digitaalne tootmine ja käsitöö. Need kehastavad inimese ja masina vastastikust lähedust. Teisisõnu, sel ajal, kui inimesed üha enam pöörduvad digitaalse maailma poole, muutub tehnoloogia inimlikumaks.

Sofia Hallik (s.1991) on ehtekunstnik ning Eesti Kunstiakadeemia doktorant. Oma doktoritöös “Hand vs. Machine: Three Methods of Jewellery Making” keskendub noor kunstnik innovatiivsetele materjalidele ja tehnoloogiatele. Enim huvitab teda, kuidas digitaalne tehnoloogia mõjutab ehtekunsti.

Suured tänud: Kadri Mälk, Jaak Tomberg, Oskar Narusberk, Eesti Kunstiakadeemia ehte- ja sepakunsti osakond, 3D Koda OÜ.

Näitust toetab Eesti Kultuurkapital.

The idea of using psychoanalysis for artistic research seems tempting for artists in various fields, designers and architects. The aim of the seminar is to introduce the cornerstones of the theories of psychoanalysis and reflect on their uses in the field of arts.

Pia Sivenius specialises in the French psychoanalysis theories. She has published numerous articles on the subject and translated the works of Lacan, Kristeva and Irigaray into the Finnish language. She is the long standing research coordinator in Aalto Arts (formerly University of Art and Design Helsinki) which gives her valuable insight into current artistic research.

Lecturer: Thomas Markussen

Research through design is about understanding how processes of designing and creating artworks can serve as the primary method of inquiry into questions relevant for art and design. Originally, the method was described by Christopher Frayling (1993) and Bruce Archer (1995), and since then many different suggestions for what the characteristics of research through design have been presented. This 2-day seminar offers PhD students visual sketching techniques and methodological tools that can be used to clarify how they practice research through design. Based on readings and the students’ position papers, we will be using visual models and diagrams to map out the role played by designerly and artistic experiments in the students’ own projects? Questions that will be addressed are: How can experiments in art and design serve as means for inquiry? How do we account for knowledge produced by these experiments? Each day will be framed by a talk that will set up a conceptual space for collective work.

Thomas Markussen is associate professor and co-founder of the Social Design Research Unit, at the University of Southern Denmark. In his work, Markussen focuses on how design can be used as a political and critical aesthetic practice, notably in the fields of social design, design activism and design fiction. He is one of the contributors to the recently published book Practice-based Design Research, edited by Laurene Vaughan, and has previously been head of phd education at Kolding School of Design. His other publications include journal articles such as “The disruptive aesthetics of design activism: enacting design between art and politics” (Design Issues); “Disentangling the ‘social’ in social design’s engagement with the public realm” (CoDesign); and “The politics of design activism – from impure politics to parapolitics” appearing in Routledge’s forthcoming book Design and Dissent.

Registration

Theseminar is open to PhD and MA students and researchers with ongoing research projects. Registration is open until 26.10.

Registration form.
