One end of the bridge will be the Villa Tammekann villa designed by Aalto in Tartu, the other in Oulu at the Toppila factory site. There is old industrial building designed by Aalto, current Aalto Siilo cultural factory.<\/p>\n<p>At both ends, the Aalto building will serve as an event arena on 14 September. They will host concerts and other events, which will be streamed to a big screen to another capital of culture. The people from Tartu and Oulu will be able to attend joint parties without having to travel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern visuality meets Alvar Aalto<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The main performers in Tartu are Estonian electronic music and video artist Gatesleeper and VJ Tencu. They offer a new perspective on Alvar Aalto. Gatesleeper, aka Martin R\u00e4sta, is a graphic designer, multidisciplinary artist and musician. He combines sound, image and different art forms. VJ Tencu aka Andres Tenusaar is a freelance director, animator and audiovisual artist.<\/p>\n<p>Finnish art photographer Elina Brotherus will also offer a fresh perspective on Aalto, presenting recent art photographs from Villa Tammekann.<\/p>\n<p>In Oulu, one of the main performers at the Aalto Bridge will be the British techno band <strong>Ossia<\/strong>. At Aalto Siilo multimedia artist Paul Lepasson from Tartu will also perform, and the online stream will bring him back to Tartu. At the end of the evening, an international acrobatic group will \u201ctake over\u201d the industrial building.<\/p>\n<p>The six-hour live cultural programme combines different art forms, two Aalto buildings and two Capitals of Culture of EU. In Tartu, architectural historian <strong>Karin Hallas-Murula<\/strong> will also talk about the importance of Alvar Aalto. You can also join free guided tours in Villa Tammekann \u2013 or just relax at the garden party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Art connects villa and industrial silo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two Alvar Aalto buildings are architectural landmarks, but completely different in style. Villa Tammekann is a charming old-fashioned villa, that geography professor August Tammekann built as home of his family. At that time, he admired Alvar Aalto, an internationally recognized master of architectural modernism.<\/p>\n<p>In Oulu, Aalto designed the Toppila pulp mill site. Now all that remains is a peculiarly shaped wood-chip silo resembling a cathedral. The architectural value of the silo was recognised early on, combining functional beauty with the practicality required by industry. The Toppila factory is from Aalto\u2019s early modernist period, and later he designed e.g.the Sunila industrial area, the Vyborg library and the Paimio sanatorium.<\/p>\n<p>The Ibero-American Institute in Madrid is also involved in the hybrid event. The link to Spain comes from the new owner of the Oulu Aalto Silo, the Spain based Factum Foundation, which is a worldvide leading expert in cultural heritage preservation. It wants to ensure that future generations have access to the past in ways that can be studied and experienced. The Aalto Siilo belongs to our valuable industrial heritage.<\/p>\n<p>The Aalto Bridge is part of the Tartu 2024 programme and it belongs to the Finnish Institute in Estonia\u2019s pARTir project on sustainable internationalization of the arts, funded by the EU\u2019s Next GenerationEU programme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programme in Villa Tammekann<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>15.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Cultural bridge starts<\/p>\n<p>Tartu greets Oulu<\/p>\n<p>15.15\u00a0\u00a0 Guided tour in Villa Tammekann (max 30 min, in Estonian), guide Lea Asso<\/p>\n<p>16.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Alvar Aalto \u2013 what should we know about him?<\/p>\n<p>Architectural historian Karin Hallas-Murula (in Estonian)<\/p>\n<p>17.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Guided tour in Villa Tammekann (max 30 min, in Estonian), guide Lea Asso<\/p>\n<p>On the video stream: multimedia artist Paul Lepasson (EE)<\/p>\n<p>18.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Gatesleeper and VJ Tencu (LIVE)<\/p>\n<p>19.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Guided tour in Villa Tammekann (max 30 min, in Estonian), guide Lea Asso<\/p>\n<p>20.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0On the video stream: the Trialogo flamenco performance, Anna Murtola (FI) and Josu<br \/>\nM\u00e4mmi (FI)<\/p>\n<p>21.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0On the video stream: Ilmatila (FI,CZ) acrobatic performance in the Aalto Siilo<\/p>\n<p>22.00 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Garden party and the live broadcast end<\/p>\n<p>Place: Villa Tammekannu aed, Fr.R.
