CONCEPT
TAKKK’s symposium of landscape art calls for artists to discover and refresh the onetime industrial buildings and other man-made structures of Kohila-Tammiku area. Halt the natural process of change of man-made sites, draw forth the memory layers of those who know more and interrupt the disappearance of onetime landmarks from people’s memory landscapes. Artists who participate at the symposium must include local inhabitants in the realization of the installations, thus helping them to (re)discover the history of their surroundings and treasure local milieu-valued areas (areas of cultural and environmental value). The main goals of the symposium are to connect, mediate and create a
bond between the local inhabitants and genius loci and to make the area more attractive for visitors, to contribute to the creation of recreational spaces of nature tourism. Can places remember people even after the traces left by them have disappeared?
