Join us for the opening of the new exhibition "Loose Knots" by the Estonian architectural studio LLRRLLRR on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, at 7 pm.

LLRRLLRR (Laura Linsi and Roland Reemaa) presents three projects that draw inspiration from traditional practices of adaptive reuse and the crudeness found in the Baltic landscape, whilst also benefiting from a proactive approach to both commissioning and implementing projects.

The buildings we come across along roads far from Tallinn or other urban centres appear somewhat secondary in comparison to the landscape – they are sparsely distributed, always adapted to their surroundings and built to support what takes place around them rather than inside them. They are firmly rooted in their location and consist of assemblages of locally available materials sourced from the surrounding land or via major trade routes. As bearers of the material cultures of a given place, they defy standardisation.

A departure from what is considered the norm in the architectural profession is essential to LLRRLLRR. In their projects, they seek to challenge prevailing tastes, funding, and established procedures in design competitions and commissioning processes, which have become all too central to architectural practice.

LLRRLLRR is founded by architects Laura Linsi and Roland Reemaa. LLRRLLRR’s projects are informed by design principles and construction methods that emerge from the site. They rely on situated knowledge and collaborations with local communities, material producers, artists and institutions—Laura and Roland often embrace the fruitful role of the dilettante. They work on architectural design projects, write, curate and teach at the Estonian Academy of Arts and at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

Srdečně zveme na přednášku Nina Fárová: Komfort pro koho? Genderované zkušenosti s chytrými domácnostmi. Úterý 7. 7. 2026 od 18h.

Chytré technologie slibují pohodlí – ale pro koho vlastně? Přednáška vychází z etnografického výzkumu chytrých domácností a představí, jak se technologie v oblasti osvětlení, vytápění a zabezpečení stávají místem nepohodlí a skryté práce, spíše než zdrojem slibovaného komfortu. Přednáška nabídne pohled na komfort nikoli jako technický parametr, ale jako výsledek (genderovaného) vyjednávání, a otevře otázku, jak lze přispět k tomu, aby chytré domácnosti sloužily skutečně všem.

Nina Fárová je socioložka a postdoktorandka v Centru pro gender a vědu Sociologický ústav AV ČR. Jejím výzkumným zaměřením je vztah genderu, vědy a technologií, v současnosti provádí výzkum týkajících se genderové dělby práce a péče v chytrých domácnostech. Jako řešitelka se podílela na projektu Smart(ening up the Modern) Home: Redesigning Power Dynamics through Domestic Space Digitalisation. Působí také jako lektorka na Univerzita Hradec Králové, kde vyučuje genderovou teorii a kvalitativní metodologii.

Událost je součástí doprovodného programu výstavy Home Discomforts a zároveň její dernisáží.

Nina Fárová: Comfort for Whom? Gendered Experiences with Smart Homes, lecture on Tuesday, 7 July 2026, 18:00

Smart homes promise comfort—but is that comfort experienced equally by everyone? Based on ethnographic research, sociologist Nina Fárová explores how smart technologies can create invisible labour and new inequalities, particularly along gender lines, and what more inclusive smart homes could look like.

The lecture will be held in Czech.

Join us for an online lecture “Dirty Laundry: Washing the World” by Elke Krasny, on Wednesday, 1 July 2026, at 14:00 CET, followed by a discussion chaired by Marianna Janowicz. The event is part of the accompanying programme of the exhibition Home Discomforts.

Dirty Laundry rethinks spaces of care through the everyday practice of laundry. Drawing on feminist theory, social reproduction, and architecture, the lecture explores how washing and cleaning reveal the gendered, racialised, and colonial structures shaping everyday life. Through examples from contemporary art and architecture, Krasny asks what it means to “wash the world.” Engaging with Françoise Vergès’ analysis in Making the World Clean the lecture ighlights how everyday acts of cleaning reveal broader social, political, and spatial relations. In art and architecture, critical laundry will be introduced through selected examples including Mother Art Collective’s “Laundry Works” (1977), Jelena Micić “I Know I Care” (2019), or Tatiana Bilbao’s “La Ropa Sucia se Lava en Casa” (2022).

Dr. Elke Krasny is Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, curator, and researcher whose work focuses on care, social reproduction, feminist spatial practices, and ecological justice. She is the recipient of the 2023 Gabriele Possanner State Prize for feminist research and the author and co-editor of numerous influential books on feminism, art, architecture, and care, including Critical Care: Architecture and Urbanism for a Broken Planet (2019), Living with an Infected Planet: Covid-19, Feminism and the Global Frontline of Care (2023), Curating with Care (2023), and Curating as Feminist Organizing (2023).

We warmly invite you to the lecture “Accessible Spaces: Buildings, Architecture and the Residues of Political Economy” by Claire Zimmerman, which will take place on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

Drawing on her research in architectural history and the built environment, Zimmerman will examine how architecture reflects and reproduces social, political, and economic relations. Moving beyond the idea of buildings as cultural symbols, she will explore how their costs, technical requirements, and patterns of use reveal structures of power, privilege, and exclusion. The lecture will address the relationship between building economies and political economy, showing how architecture can both express and reinforce inequalities related to class, race, and access. By connecting historical analysis with contemporary concerns, Zimmerman will propose new ways of understanding the built environment as a site where social hierarchies become visible and can be critically examined.

Claire Zimmerman is an architectural historian whose research explores the relationships between architecture, society, labor, and politics. Her work connects historical perspectives with contemporary challenges in the built environment. She is most recently the author of Albert Kahn Inc: Architecture, Labor, and Industry, 1905–1961 (2025) and co-editor of Architecture against Democracy (2024) and Detroit–Moscow–Detroit (2023).
