The EXPLORE EKA programme is targeted at students of upper secondary and vocational schools who are interested in architecture, design, art and art history and who want to continue their education in the creative field but haven’t yet reached a final decision.
EXPLORE EKA is an excellent opportunity for prospective students to discover the various specialities taught at EKA and get a sense of life and study in these specialities. The programme includes visits to studios, ateliers, architecture firms, design companies, theatres and museums, as well as lectures, film screenings and practical workshops organised by EKA teaching staff, students and alumni.

Reimo Võsa-Tangsoo (1976), Associate Professor at the EKA Department of Photography, says in the guide accompanying his Immediate Gratification exhibition that ‘we are used to talking about the exhausting effect that overproduction has on the natural environment, but we don’t pay as much attention to how we pollute our own human environment.’

With the exhibition A Little Bit, Every Day, artists Jan Lütjohann (1987) and Uku Sepsivart (1988) refer to their interest in working with their hands, which takes prime spot in their artistic practice and is one of the connecting factors of the exhibition. They reflect on production as a process that falls somewhere between totalling a workbench and the arbitrary accumulation of material.
The exhibition will remain on view until 26 February 2018.

What is the deeper sense of being in a wasteland, and what are people seeking there? What are they attempting to compensate within themselves in such an environment? What does wasteland – a typical interim space in an urban environment – have in excess and what does it lack, such that people are drawn to it time and again? Paco Ulman, EKA teaching staff member, artist and architect, attempts to find answers to these questions with his Wasteland exhibition.
The exhibition will remain on view until 25 March 2018.
