In 2000, the Tallinn Applied Art Triennial was held in the competition exhibition format. The theme was developed by group F.F.F.F. (Kristi Paap, Kaire Rannik, Berit Teeäär, Ketli Tiitsar). The theme was “Possession” which was explained as follows: Even the simplest objects become parts of personal space – they become possessions. Moods, motivations, notions become reality; they materialize in a way they live in makers mind. Meetings create obsessions; a need to possess objects long yearned for. Obtaining such objects provides the owner emotional satisfaction, it gives an environment that is replete – embryonic.

The triennial received applications of 257 artists from 25 countries. The international jury selected 74 participants, all together from 19 different countries. The catalogue covering the Triennial’s exhibition was published.
