WRO Art Center, along with 10 partners, including the leading European media art organizations, institutions and festivals, launches the European Media Art Platform (EMAP), which is the largest international platform of artistic exchange and residency projects for media artists in Europe. The Culture Zone Wrocław is supporting the platform within the framework of AIR Wro.

EMAP/EMARE will offer two months production residencies for European Artists working in the fields of digital media, including Internet and computer-based artists, filmmakers, and those working in media based performance, sound or video.

Taavi Suisalu will come for a residency to Wro Art. Center in April and May 2018. The artist is working in the contexts of technology, sound and performance, mixing traditional and contemporary sensibilities and activating peripheral spaces for imaginative encounters. His practice is informed by phenomena of contemporary society and its relations to and use of technologies. He applies subjective research methods to study socio-cultural phenomena, being interested in the behaviour, perception and thinking of social beings.

Taavi Suisalu has been exhibiting and performing since 2005, predominantly in Estonia, but also in the UK, Germany, Finland, Iceland, Switzerland, Russia, Belgium and the Baltic States. In 2014, he received the Young Estonian Artist Prize for curating a distributed exhibition throughout non-existent villages of Southern Estonia. In 2017, his work “Distant Self-Portrait” was awarded 2nd prize at the Riga Photography Biennial Awards. He currently lives and workes in Tallinn.
