KAIRIT SÕLG
During Kairit Sõlg's residence, we brought the designer closer to environments and interests of her specialty. Kairit was in Bilbao, together with artists and designers, and also presented her work at the University of Fine Arts of the Basque Country, together with the professors Izaskun Alvarez Gainza, Jabi Villareal and Mikel Garate. We also managed to organize an activity with the Kunsthal School of Plastic Arts and Design where Kairit proposed a workshop with the students to make use of an abandoned space next to the school according to their suggestions and needs.
We visited Luzuriaga Martxan's headquarters in Pasai Antxo where we met with the promoters of the place's restructure to create new work spaces for creators. We also visited the Nekatoenea artists' residence in the neighboring town of Hendaia.
At the same time we travelled to different areas and towns of the Basque Country so that Kairit could have a wider vision of our surroundings: Irun, Hendaia, Hondariibia, Biarritz, Donibane Lohitzune, Baiona, Pamplona, San Sebastian, Pasajes, Bilbao, etc. Finally, she designed her intervention that she carried out together with the students of the Kunsthal School on October 29th 2014 in the city of Irun.
To document her working process, Kairit launched the following blogs:
