Miriam Schaer is Artist in Residence at the Estonian Academy of Art in Tallinn!
March 25, 2011
I am so excited to be back in Tallinn! I was here in 1998, participating in the 11th Tallinn Print Triennial, in an exhibition called Reincarnation: Book. It was great to be here again to see the 15th Print Triennial, which is up now at the new Kumu Art Museum. Liina Siib and Eve Kask invited me to come during my spring break from Columbia College Chicago to be an Visiting Artist at the Estonian Academy of Fine Art, to lecture and give workshops for the students. In addition to the image below, you can see more images of Tallin, the Academy and the workshops, in the album on my Facebook Page! I lectured on artist books, taught some book structures and alternative printmaking, like gum bichromate and cyannotype. You can also see images from the Nuku Muuseum (puppet museum)! It has been quite a marvelous experience!!!!
After my Wednesday evening lecture, students and others came and asked questions. Photo by Kristina Kruuse
