Tour at the exhibition “Selected Interventions”
14.12 at 13
“Selected Interventions” is a collection of new works and dialogues within the museum’s permanent exhibitions by the students of Craft Studies of the Estonian Academy of Arts.
The Craft Studies curriculum expands on understanding contemporary crafts and advances professional development, critical expression, and artistic research into materials, processes, concepts and identities. Therefore, it is a unique study of the work of the applied art and design classics, part of the vast displays of “Collected Works” and “Introduction to Estonian Design.”
Based on their background and interests, each student selected a piece, a series of works, or an artist to have a closer dialogue. They were encouraged to respond with new pieces based on past techniques, approaches, materials, stories, aesthetics, forms, and more.
During the student-led tour, visitors will gain an overview of the interventions and discover how the new works offer fresh perspectives, explore heritage, and add new layers of meaning to the existing design classics.
The tour is in English, no registration needed. Entrance with the museum ticket.
