The main exhibition of the 7th Tallinn Applied Art Triennial is open! The concept and theme for the exhibition is “Ajavahe. Time Difference”. The 7th Tallinn Applied Art Triennial, taking place from 21 April 2017 to 23 July 2017, invited individuals and groups from all fields of applied art and design to take part in the open call for the main exhibition. We welcomed works in both digital and physical form that deal with topics relating to time, tempo, different notions of time, and approaches to time.

A professional exhibition architect and the triennial society will arrange the exhibition of the works. Security staff and video surveillance guard the exhibition halls. If under these conditions there is any damage to the works, the triennial society will take responsibility for this and will compensate the artist for the damage in the amount of the insurance sum the artist has submitted when sending the work. The triennial society does not make any additional insurance contracts. The artist him- or herself has the right to insure the works and cover the insurance expenses.

The transportation of the works to Tallinn and the cost of transportation insurance must be covered by the participant.
The works must be sent in a secure and protective package. The same package must be re-usable to send the work back to the artist. If these conditions are not fulfilled, the organisers of the triennial reserve the right to charge the artist for the costs of the new packaging material.
Sending the works back is at the expense of the organisers. The works will be sent back to the artist at the latest by 31 August 2017.
The artist will allow the organisers to use his or her photographs in the exhibition catalogue, triennial’s website and social media channel and in the media for the purpose of marketing the exhibition.
